12 Training & Extension Services: Some Highlights MINAS GERAIS Sustainability Initiative of the Minas Gerais Government (SEAPA IMA EMATER) - focus on good production practices and socio-environmental responsibility in coffee production; coffee farms certified in 2016; Lower cost to farmers and international recognition UTZ is as partner. Incentive to Quality: Annual Contest in Minas Gerais Productivity in bags/ha '

13 Training & Extension Services: Some Highlights In the last 2 decades Espirito Santo State went through a revolution: expressive growth of Arabica production and became the main Brazilian producer of conilon (robusta). Prominent role of Incaper: developing, transferring and assisting farms (specially small ones) to adopt new technologies. ESPÍRITO SANTO Climate Change: knowledge and technology to increase drought resilience 14,78 Productivity in bags/ha 29,56 22,81 *mulching, irrigation, fertilizer and pests management; pruning; etc.

20 Coffee Cooperatives: Assisting Farmers Day By Day Technical Advice: Team of agronomists and technicitians: guidance for a more sustainable coffee production; access to technology. Economies of scale: More advantageous conditions due to greater purchase and sales volumes. Post-harvest Processing: Drying, Cleaning, Grading and Storage. Market: Facilitate access to: (i) domestic and international markets and (ii) risk management instruments (hedge). Adding Value: Investment in coffee industrialization and Incentive for the production of specialty coffees.

21 4. Efficient Coffee Supply Chain Source: Centro de Excelência do Café; Prof. José Luís Rufino Single- Serve Institutional market Coffee Shops

22 4. Efficient Coffee Supply Chain Open Market + Efficient Organization from Research to Export Harbor Farmers receive, on average, 85% of FOB Price

23 Final Remarks Although efficient management of the coffee sector and increase in productivity are essential to achieve economic sustainability, the price paid for the bag of coffee is of utmost importance for income security. It is essential that production growth be linked to increased consumption to avoid excess supply thatmay bringdown globalcoffee prices. Prices have not increased in spite of three years of consecutive deficits in global coffee supply. ICO data shows that global coffee consumption decreased by 0,3% in Is it advisable to encourage expansion of production in this scenario?
