Brazilian Arabica Coffee Bean Production Fine Coffee Bean Definition and Standard Difference from Commercial Coffee

Coffee is an important crop in Brazilian agricultural enterprises. There is evidence that the geographical distribution and varieties of coffee produced throughout Brazil have changed over time. In addition, these developments seem to be related to structural changes caused by reduced government intervention and its impact on coffee market prices, which has established new coffee production dynamics in the country. In this context, the goal of this study is to analyze the dynamics of coffee production in Brazil, identify Brazilian micro-areas that specialize in coffee activities, and track how the spatial distribution of these micro-areas changes over time. In doing so, the study aims to determine the economic characteristics of major coffee producing areas. This study mainly uses data from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics to explore how significant changes occurred between 1984 and 2015 through the application of Pearson correlation Granger causality test location quotient principal component and cluster analysis. The distribution of professional coffee production areas. The importance of historically important coffee-producing countries such as Parana and Sao Paulo has declined, leaving only a few micro-areas that specialize in coffee production. During the 2014-15 biennium, 80% of the coffee specialty micro-areas were concentrated in Minas Gerais, Bahia, Rondo and Esp í rito Santo. Minas Gerais and Bahia mainly produce Arabica coffee, while Rond ô nia specializes in conilon (robusta) coffee. Overall, the quality and added value of coffee produced in Brazil improved during this period.

Brief introduction

Brazilian coffee is the world's largest coffee producer and exporter. According to the Municipal Agricultural Survey (PAM) released by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), during the 2016 harvest, Brazil collected about 5030 million bags of 60 kg coffee, of which 4250 million contained Arabica coffee and 7.8 million coffee containing conilon (robusta). According to the Ministry of Industry, International Commerce and Services, coffee export revenues totaled US $4.84 billion in 2016, with major export destinations including Germany, the United States, Italy and Japan.

With the end of large-scale government intervention in the Brazilian coffee market, the industry was forced to reinvent itself. The coffee production system has been modernized and increasingly innovative production technologies have been adopted to improve competitiveness through product quality differentiation, cost reduction, and even the establishment of internal management mechanisms within the company, all to achieve customer satisfaction and confidence. In addition, coffee producers are starting to produce in areas where the climate is more suitable for cultivation. In addition, producers try to insert themselves into specific consumer markets and increase the added value of their products by producing boutique coffee with quality and geographically certified seals.
