Este documento analiza los diferentes sistemas de producción cafetaleros que han cobrado importancia en el ámbito internacional a los que usualmente se les llama alternativos y sustentables, sin cuestionarse suficiente sobre el concepto mismo de sustentabilidad. Al revisar la evolución de estos sistemas a escala mundial, es claro que en ellos se presentan numerosas contradicciones que generan varias interrogantes sobre las bondades que anuncian. Además se analiza cómo estos han cobrado importancia en México y se realiza un esfuerzo de cuantificación de su importancia. Se presenta finalmente un caso que muestra que los sistemas alternativos son importantes, pero limitados para conseguir al menos la suficiencia económica que demandan los productores. ABSTRACT This document analyzes the different coffee production systems that have gained importance in the international sphere which are commonly referred to as alternative and sustainable, without sufficient questioning of the concept itself of sustainability. Upon reviewing the evolution of these systems at the world scale, it is clear that numerous contradictions are presented in them that generate various questions on the virtues they extol. The document also analyzes how they have acquired importance in Mexico and an effort is made to quantify the same. Finally, a case is presented that demonstrates that the alternative systems are significant but limited in their procurement of at least the economic sufficiency demanded by producers.

Neste estudo, estimamos os dispêndios energéticos nos sistemas de produção de café convencional e irrigado por gotejo. Para tal, construiu-se o itinerário técnico dos quatro anos de produção de café dos dois sistemas. Os insumos utilizados (mão-de-obra, horas máquina, irrigação, defensivos, fertilizantes, entre outros) convertidos em unidades de energia, quantificaram as entradas energéticas, enquanto a produção de café em grão beneficiado constituiu a saída energética. Para o levantamento dos requerimentos de insumos e de volume de produção de café utilizou-se uma amostragem probabilística intencional. Foram entrevistados cinco produtores cuja principal fonte de renda é a produção de café e que mantêm registros dos dados da cultura. Os resultados energéticos mostram que na estrutura de dispêndios energéticos por tipo, fonte e origem, tem-se que a energia indireta participou com mais de 66%, sendo os adubos os dispêndios mais altos. O balanço energético, que mostra a diferença entre as energias totais e “entradas” de energias não renováveis, foi positivo nos dois sistemas produtivos, em média de 25.258,55 MJ ha-1 para o café convencional e 26.712,94 MJ ha-1 para o café irrigado por gotejo. A melhor opção entre os dois sistemas para o produtor em termos energéticos é o café irrigado por gotejo, pois possibilita que o produtor tenha uma melhor saída de energia mesmo tendo um valor maior no balanço energético.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Café, Sistema De Produção, Dispêndios Energéticos. ENERGY BALANCE OF CONVENTIONAL AND IRRIGATED COFFEE PRODUCTION SYSTEMSABSTRACT: In this study, we estimated the energy expenditure in both conventional and drip irrigated coffee production systems. Therefore, the technical itinerary from both systems four years coffee production was constructed. The inputs used (labor, machine hours, irrigation, pesticides, fertilizers, among others) were converted into energy units quantifying the energy input, while the benefited coffee beans produced the output energy.  An intentional and non-probabilistic sampling was used to survey the systems requirements of inputs and volume of coffee production. Five producers were interviewed whose main source of income is coffee production and have kept records of crop data.   Indirect energy represented   more than 66% of energy balance, from which fertilizers expressed the highest expenditures. The energy balance, which shows the difference between total energies and non-renewable energies, was positive in both production systems, averaging 25,258.55 MJ ha-1 in conventional coffee and 26,712.94 MJ ha-1 in  drip irrigated coffee. Regarding energy balance, the best system option is drip irrigated coffee, since it allows the producer to have a better output of energy even though with higher value in energy balance.KEYWORDS: Coffee, Production System, Energy Expenditure.

New Crop

Robusta coffee (C. canephora) covers 36% of world coffee production and has strategic relevance as a beverage that it is produced by thousands of small-scale producers around the world. Although mainly grown in Africa and Asia as opposed to Latin America, this situation is changing. Colombia is recognized as a producer of high-quality Arabica (C. arabica L.) coffee, however we argue that Robusta represents a great economic opportunity for small scale producers, for the industrialization of new products and for emerging coffee chains. Therefore, the objective of this review is to outline the agronomic value of Robusta coffee as a “new crop” in Colombia. As background we compare the better-known Arabica to the Robusta coffees from a Latin American perspective. Robusta shows differences in geographical distribution, genetics, originating species, physiology and phenology. Robusta and Arabica also differ in their chemistry, sensory attributes, industrial use, segments of market and price. Despite the marked differences between the two coffees, the popularity and consumption of Robusta has been on the increase due to the expansion of markets in emerging economies and in developed markers for home espresso preparation where it is used in high quality coffee blends. Robusta is currently replacing areas of other coffees due to hotter temperatures to which it is adapted. Although Robusta is still new to Colombia, this species has potential adaptation in lowland areas considered “non-traditional” for Colombian coffee cultivation and as a valuable component of agro-ecological production systems. Robusta is a novel crop option for certain regions that is needed for the future of coffee in Latin America and for growth of coffee production and consumption in Colombia.
