Resumen
Descripción
The innovative effort of coffee growers, through the adoption of good practices and technologies developed by educational, research and extension institutions, notably those members of the Consórcio Pesquisa Café (Brazilian Consortium for Coffee Research) 1, coordinated by Embrapa Coffee, has contributed to the highly positive performance of Coffees of Brazil, which, among other highlights, has tripled its production volume with a 20% reduction in the respective cultivated area, i.e., approximately 500,000 ha, equivalent to almost twice the area of Luxembourg. This performance reinforced Brazil?s leadership in world coffee production, in line with the economic, social and environmental aspects of sustainability.
