This research evaluates the effect the industrial revolution era 4.0 has had on the performance and sustainability of coffee farmer cooperatives, especially in the West Java region, considering that West Java is a coffee center area that is starting to be taken into account in Indonesia and the world in general, this is evidenced by the increasing number of farmer cooperatives coffee in the West Java region. One of the most monumental effects of the industrial revolution 1.0 was the birth of the British cooperative in Rochdale, the world’s first modern cooperative. The industry continues to develop, cooperatives continue to adapt and try to continue to develop in accordance with technological advances, especially now that the industrial revolution 4.0 has entered, which emphasizes information technology, especially the use of the internet. However, there has been no previous research examining the use of information technology in coffee farmer cooperatives, especially in the era of the industrial revolution 4.0, even though this information technology is very important in the development of cooperatives today. Quantitative descriptive method with SEM analysis was used to identify the effect of cooperative capability on the performance and sustainability of cooperatives in several coffee cooperatives in West Java. The study’s results found that the power of the cooperative did not significantly affect the performance of the Coffee Cooperative. Still, the capability of the cooperative had a positive and significant effect on the sustainability of the Coffee Cooperative. At the same time, the performance of the cooperative had a positive and significant impact on the sustainability of the coffee cooperative. The ability of cooperatives has a positive and significant effect on sustainability mediated by the performance of the Coffee Cooperative in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era. This study recommends increasing the capabilities of cooperatives in membership, management, and business models to become sustainable cooperatives based on information technology to achieve added value from market-driven coffee products. The results of the study show that the respondents perceive that the cooperative’s performance has a positive effect on their sustainability. Improving the performance of cooperatives in terms of (1) productivity, (2) effectiveness, (3) quality, and (4) achievement can be regarded as having a direct impact on the Coffee Cooperative’s long-term viability. The industrial revolution in the agricultural sector is facing demographic challenges (ageing), so intelligent technology, artificial intelligence, big data, and augmented reality are strategic choices. The application of information technology has a direct or indirect positive impact on Indonesia’s agricultural sector. Cooperatives in coffee agribusiness is also increasingly needed to respond to market demand by applying Information and Communication Technology (ICT).

The industrial revolution in the agricultural sector is faced with demographic challenges (ageing), so intelligent technology, artificial intelligence, big data, and augmented reality are strategic choices. The application of information technology has a direct or indirect impact on Indonesia's agricultural sector, so coffee agribusiness cooperatives' information and communication technology (ICT) is also increasingly needed to respond to market demand. Along with the development of automation, physical, cyber systems and IoT, coffee cooperatives need to be ready and adapt to the era of the industrial revolution 4.0 in capturing market demand opportunities, value chains, and the added value of coffee agribusiness. ICT's presence can improve the performance and institutional sustainability of coffee farmers in rural areas, including cooperatives. Performance is a description of the achievement of organizational tasks to realize the goals, objectives, mission and vision of the organization and its business. The performance of the cooperative describes the services provided to its members and the community/farmers as measured by using indicators to see the working mechanism of the organization and its business that has been carried out and to determine the achievement of the objectives obtained. Meanwhile, the ability to innovate is essential, especially the use of ICT, which is deemed necessary to support the performance and sustainability of coffee cooperatives, so that cooperatives can compete, be stable, or survive in the era of increasing free competition. . Quantitative descriptive method with Linear Regression analysis was used to identify the effect of cooperative capability on the performance and sustainability of cooperatives in several coffee cooperatives in West Java. The study's results found that the power of the cooperative did not significantly affect the performance of the Coffee Cooperative. Still, the capability of the cooperative had a positive and significant effect on the sustainability of the Coffee Cooperative. At the same time, the performance of the cooperative has a positive and significant impact on the sustainability of the coffee cooperative. The ability of cooperatives has a positive and significant effect on sustainability mediated by the performance of the Coffee Cooperative in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era. This study recommends increasing the capabilities of cooperatives in membership, management, and business models to become sustainable cooperatives based on information technology to achieve added value from market-driven coffee products.

AbstractSupported by policy-makers and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), coffee farmer organizations obtain organic and Fairtrade certifications to upgrade their coffee and, thus, increase returns to their members. Whether this and other upgrading strategies fit into the business model of the cooperative and lead to success are often not considered. This research aims to identify similarities and differences between conventional and certified cooperatives and the resultant impact on farmers' incomes. We analyze the business models, upgrading strategies, and strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) of seven conventional, organic and Organic-Fairtrade certified coffee cooperatives and link these to members' coffee gross margins. We use data from over 100 in-depth qualitative interviews and a household survey of 327 cooperative members in northern Nicaragua. Results indicate that cooperatives often apply the same upgrading strategies despite very different business models and SWOT. There are also many commonalities of SWOT among cooperatives but no clear-cut differences between conventional, organic and Organic-Fairtrade certified cooperatives. The qualitative comparison of coffee gross margins among the cooperatives shows no clear income effect from participating in certified coffee production and certified cooperatives. It indicates, rather, dependence of gross margins on yield levels, the business model and upgrading strategies of the cooperatives. Upgrading through certification seems only successful with a suitable business model and other upgrading strategies. Policies should focus on (i) increasing as well as stabilizing coffee yields, and (ii) on the institutional framework of cooperatives by offering strategic support, credit access, external auditing of cooperatives and the establishment of a functional national coffee institute.

Smallholder farmers’ participation in agricultural cooperatives is often promoted as a promising strategy for overcoming market imperfections and to increase farmers’ productivity and income. In recognition of this potential, in recent years, Ethiopia has shown renewed interest in promoting cooperatives. However, there is lack of empirical evidence of the impact that cooperatives have on farmers’ performance in Ethiopia. Using a matching technique, we evaluate the impact of coffee cooperatives on the performance of their member households in terms of income and coffee production. We use data from coffee farmers in south-west Ethiopia. The overall results suggest that members of cooperatives are not faring much better than non-members. The treatment effects we measured were not statistically significant from zero. Yet, the aggregate figures mask differences between cooperatives and amongst individual cooperative members. Average treatment effects on members differ between cooperatives, in general older members, those who have benefitted from more education and those with larger coffee plantations seem to benefit more from membership. Our analysis sheds light on the heterogeneity in the impact that membership of a cooperative can have: this differs by cooperative and by members within cooperatives, a finding that has important policy implications.

Coffee is an important global agricultural commodity. Jambi Province only has one special Arabica coffee production center in Kerinci Regency. Cooperatives are very important in supporting the economy of small farmers as collectors of farmers' coffee harvests. However, there are various challenges, especially in developing marketing areas so that cooperatives can continue to operate. The aim of this research is to create a marketing strategy for Arabica specialty coffee cooperatives. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with cooperative leaders, using purposive sampling for a case study of the Alam Kerinci cooperative, which is the largest specialized Arabica cooperative in Kerinci district, Indonesia. This research applies the 4P marketing mix theory and SWOT analysis to examine the problems raised and develop strategies for developing cooperative marketing in the future. Evidence shows that cooperatives have implemented marketing mix strategies effectively. SWOT calculations, IFAS analysis (X = 0.95), and EFAS (Y = 0.53) show that the cooperative is in quadrant I which is a very profitable position for implementing growth-oriented strategies to support the development and expansion of aggressive cooperative marketing. . This study shows that cooperatives have the potential to expand marketing, as shown by SWOT analysis and quadrant identification.

Background: Most coffee in Ethiopia is produced by smallholder farmers who face a daily struggle to get sufficient income but also to feed their families. At the same time, many smallholder coffee producers are members of cooperatives. Yet, literature has paid little attention to the effect of cooperatives on combating food insecurity among cash crop producers including coffee farmers. Objective: The objective of the study was to investigate how coffee cooperative membership may affect food security among coffee farm households in Southwest Ethiopia. Methods: The study used cross-sectional household data on income, expenditure on food, staple food production (maize and teff), and utilization of improved inputs (fertilizer and improved seed) collected from 256 randomly selected farm households (132 cooperative members and 124 nonmembers) and applied an inverse probability weighting (IPW) estimation to assess the impact of cooperative membership on food security. Results: The result revealed that cooperative membership has a positive and significant effect on staple food production (maize and teff) and facilitated technological transformation via increased utilization of fertilizer and improved seeds. Nonetheless, the effect on food expenditure and income could not be confirmed. Conclusion: Findings suggest a trade-off between coffee marketing and input supply functions of the cooperatives, impairing their true food security impact from the pooled income and production effect.

Coffee plays an important role as an Indonesian agricultural plantation commodity. Although Arabica coffee, which has a higher selling price on the international market than other coffee types, is a crucial source of income for small farmers, the production and quality of Indonesian coffee are very low, which affects the farmers’ income. Agricultural cooperatives can boost the welfare of members and society in general. However, despite the potential benefits of such cooperatives, many small farmers remain sceptical and are reluctant to become members. Within this context, our study aimed to quantitatively examine and compare the challenges, costs, and profitability of agricultural cooperatives using the Kerinci Regency in Indonesia as a case study. We used data obtained through a direct economic survey of 102 randomly selected farmers. Our results indicated that net profit differed significantly between cooperative and non-cooperative farmers and that hired labor represented the most variable costs for all farmers. Our novel findings highlight the financial benefits of agricultural cooperatives for small farmers.

Coffee production in Kenya has plummeted, hurting the economy and worsening social inequality and poverty. Kenyan coffee marketing cooperative associations have failed to boost exports. Coffee is Kenya's main cash crop. Coffee is the country's principal foreign exchange earner, rural employment source, food security source, and revenue source. The reduction in coffee export earnings shows that coffee marketing cooperatives are inefficient and less flexible. This study examines how shared vision affects organizational ambidexterity. This transformational leadership-based study used exploratory and cross-sectional survey methodologies. The target audience was Kenyan coffee marketing cooperatives. The sample size was 242 Kenyan coffee marketing cooperative societies. A self-administered, semi-structured questionnaire collected primary data from cooperative society managers. The data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results show that shared vision favorably impacts organizational ambidexterity (R = 0.547, R2 = 0.299), explaining 29.9% of variation. Further, shared vision significantly affected organizational ambidexterity (P-value = 0.00). The study found that shared vision affected organizational ambidexterity. Thus, managers of coffee marketing cooperative societies should constantly discuss their vision with other employees to improve ambidexterity.

Indonesia has several Arabica coffee varieties that are well known in the domestic and world markets. However, marketing challenges exist for the domestic market and few cooperatives are able to export. Arabica Coffee Kerinci, a cooperative that exports, is an exception; nevertheless, marketing challenges persist for this cooperative too. Our objectives are to examine a case study of a successful cooperative that focuses on the export market and to clarify the challenges remaining for Arabica coffee marketing. Descriptive statistics were employed to capture the complexities of these marketing challenges. Semi-structured interviews using simple random sampling were conducted with the cooperative’s leader and with 51 farmers. We find that the fundamental challenges are quality inconsistency, price fluctuations, lengthy and bureaucratic export administration, absence of bank loans, and lack of government support. We recommend the following key steps: (1) focusing on improvements in producing and maintaining superior quality that meets export standards and provides capital stimulus; and (2) through greater government and industry synergy, encouraging governments to provide support to farmers and cooperatives alike. Further, other Indonesian regions could adopt Arabica coffee for rural development. This study contributes by formulating a better understanding of the major challenges facing producers of agricultural commodities.

Purpose - Cooperatives are people-centric organizations that are organized to meet the common needs of their members. One key goal for the establishment of agricultural cooperatives is to help improve the marketing efficiency of their members. This study aimed to analyze the correlation between cooperative membership and marketing efficiency among coffee farmers in the provinces of Cavite, Benguet, and Mountain Province, Philippines.
Design/Methodology/Approach - Primary and secondary data were gathered in the study. Linear regression with endogenous treatment was used to analyze the data which examined both observable and unobservable factors affecting the treatment, cooperative membership, potential outcome, and the marketing efficiency.
Findings - The results of the study revealed that the average farmer generated USD0.85 more farm income for every peso spent on marketing activities if he/she was a member of an agricultural cooperative. This implied that membership positively improved the marketing efficiency of coffee farmers. Moreover, farmers who sold their processed coffee to cooperatives and who had price access were observed to have higher marketing efficiency. Farmers who were females, adopted more processing technologies, took longer to search for price information, sold to cooperatives, had more coffee experience, and whose farms were located away from technology sources were more likely to become cooperative members.
Research Implications - The study recommended the promotion of cooperative membership among farmers to improve their marketing efficiency and capacity-building activities related to the technology adoption and management of cooperatives.

Purpose: Coffee is one of the most important agricultural commodities with a significant contribution to the growth and well-functioning of Ethiopia’s economy, and to the livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers and laborers. Despite its importance, smallholder coffee production and marketing performance have been unsatisfactory due to various reasons. The introduction of voluntary coffee certification schemes such as Fairtrade (FT) and Organic (Org) certification schemes through cooperatives are viewed as mechanisms to overcome the constraints smallholder farmers face in accessing high value coffee markets and earn better income. However, the impacts of these schemes on the livelihoods of smallholder farmers were not analyzed yet. The main purpose of this study was to estimate the impact of joining (FT, Org or dual FT-Org) certified coffee cooperatives on gross annual incomes earned by member farmers.
Methodology: The study employed cross-sectional data collected from randomly selected sample smallholder coffee farmers through a semi-structured questionnaire. Descriptive and simple inferential statistical tests (e.g., frequency, percentage, mean, t-and chi2-tests), and PSM methods were employed to analyze the data.
Findings: Results of the descriptive statistics depict that 234 (62.07%) of the total 377 samples farmers were members of certified coffee marketing cooperatives. Among the cooperative members, 83 (35.47%), 84 (35.90%) and 67 (28.63%) were members of FT, Org and dual FT-Org certified coffee marketing cooperatives, respectively. The results of the binary probit model however show that the decisions to join certified coffee marketing cooperatives was significantly influenced by sex, marital status, total livestock holding size, total coffee land size (ha), log total quantity of coffee produced (kg), credit access, and walking distances to development agent’s office, coffee marketing center and all-weather road in minutes, respectively. The PSM analysis results show that membership to certified coffee marketing cooperatives has a positive and significant impact on average annual gross income (ETB) earned. The average gross annual income earned by coop member farmers was ETB 14639.15, which is by 36.51% higher than their counterpart non-coop member farmers. The difference is statistically significant at 1% probability level.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study recommended that Cooperatives should be encouraged to establish credit and saving units in their internal structure and/or work in collaboration with other saving and credit providing institutions (such as Cooperative Bank of Oromia) to be able to provide demand-driven credit services to member farmers.

This study aimed to examine the trend of cooperative unions towards quality coffee production and supply and identify the challenges of coffee farmers’ cooperative unions in Gimbo woreda (district). Ten cooperative unions located in the woreda were selected to conduct the study. To achieve the objective of the study descriptive research design was employed and to obtain relevant information, 333 union members were selected using a simple random sampling technique. Both primary and secondary data were collected through questionnaires, interviews and document analysis. Collected data were analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively. The study revealed that farmers are effectively applying agronomic, physiological, pre- and post-harvest activities and producing quality coffee. However, they are not getting economic benefits from their product. Due to this, they are not motivated to produce high amounts and quality of coffee on their farmland. Cooperatives are not effectively providing services for their members. The government is also playing a role in improving the performance of cooperatives. Thus, it is recommended that all concerned bodies need to give due attention to improving the performance of cooperatives and members’ economic benefit

The repercussions of reforming an agricultural market are mainly observed at the most vulnerable segment of the value chain, namely, the producers. In the current commodity market created with trade through the Ethiopian Commodity Exchange (ECX), coffee is less traceable to its producers. Only cooperatives that sell certified coffee through the unions they belong to, are allowed to bypass the more commodified ECX market. This study aims to investigate if small-scale coffee producers in southwestern Ethiopia that sell coffee through the certified cooperative are better off. It is assumed that the coffee sales through, and membership of, a cooperative, allows farmers to improve their coffee production as well as to improve other aspects of their livelihood. A sustainable livelihood approach was used as the inspiration for the welfare indicators that needed to be considered, data collected amongst members and non-members of certified cooperatives, and a propensity score model to investigate the impact of cooperative membership on the livelihood indicators. Results suggest that members of certified cooperatives indeed receive, on average, better prices. Yet, no evidence was found that indicates that the higher price is translated into better household income. Furthermore, coffee plantation productivity of those members who were interviewed was lower than that of the non-members. This finding could explain the failure to find an overall effect. Since the majority of the producers’ income emanate from coffee, a sustainable way of enhancing the productivity of the coffee could revitalize the welfare of the coffee producers.

The role of cooperatives in buffering the effects of imperfect markets on smallholder agriculture especially in developing countries has been widely atoned. However, and in spite of eminent advantages, not all smallholder farmers join cooperatives. We use empirical data from coffee farmers in Northwestern Cameroon to identify key factors driving coffee farmers’ decisions to join or not to join a cooperative. Using a standardized questionnaire, data was collected from 140 randomly selected farmers (members and non-members) in contact with North West Cooperative Association Limited (NWCA). Data collection took place in January 2018, with 2017 as the reference period. We use the data to characterize the coffee sector in the region, and to identify key drivers for cooperative membership. 41.4% and 58.6% were NWCA members and nonmembers respectively. The area of land under coffee cultivation, dominant income source, household size, experience in coffee farming, and timely payment of farmers’ dues by the cooperative were the key factors influencing coffee farmers’ decision to join the cooperative or not (P=0.05). Identifying such drivers from farmers’ perspectives and informing policy decisions can increase competitive advantage of smallholder farmers and reduce the effects of market imperfection, as embedded in cooperative concept. This should render the concept once more attractive and portray it as a rational option to many smallholder farmers.

This study identifies the endogenous and exogenous factors that influence whether small coffee-growing households decide to join agricultural cooperatives in South Kivu, a conflict-prone province in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). After a pilot test, data were collected through a cross-sectional survey in the territories of Kabare, Kalehe and Idjwi, and 412 randomly selected small coffee producers, coffee cooperative members and non-members participated in the survey. Geographical representativeness was observed in the distribution of this sample across the three territories. A logit model was applied to determine the main factors of membership. In a challenging context such as the eastern DRC, trust in the leaders and initiators of an agricultural cooperative, the need for small coffee-growing households to build up social capital through the cooperative and the household’s perception of the adequacy of the economic benefits (dividends) to be received were the most significant factors in the decision to join or remain in an agricultural cooperative. Other factors such as the age of the household head, the household’s need to access to agricultural inputs and technical training, and the distance between the plantation and the nearest coffee washing station also had a significant effect on the decision to join a coffee cooperative in the eastern DRC. The results of this study help to clarify the dynamics of rural development and the management of agricultural cooperatives in difficult socioeconomic contexts, such as the eastern DRC. The findings also have implications for actions, strategies and public policies to be adopted by cooperatives, market system development actors and the government to promote social cohesion and improve the living conditions of the rural population through agricultural cooperatives.

The success of the Amungme Gold Coffee Cooperative as a business actor can be influenced by the business model that has been used so far. The Amungme Gold Coffee Cooperative produces Amungme Gold Coffee products, which the Amungme people traditionally cultivate. This study aims to determine the cooperative’s business model, internal and external conditions, and analyze the design of a new and to analyze the design of a new business model to develop the Amungme Gold Coffee Cooperative using the interview method with internal cooperatives and consumers who have bought and consumed Amungme Gold coffee. The data were analyzed using the descriptive business model method the Amungme Gold Coffee Cooperative currently uses and mapped using the Business Model Canvas. Each BMC element is identified using SWOT to determine strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats to produce alternative strategies that the Amungme Gold Coffee Cooperative can use. The SWOT analysis results become a reference for analysis with a four-step analysis of the blue ocean strategy to produce alternative strategies for the new BMC. The results of the study indicate that there is a need for a change in business strategy at the Amungme Gold Coffee Cooperative. So several strategies are recommended: adding new business units and creating an educational cafe concept, customer service using online media, developing warehousing facilities, and increasing training and mentoring farmers in cultivation activities.

The private sector is essential for improving the coffee sector by supporting farmers through cooperatives and groups. The study objective is to assess the impact of policy changes on moral hazard and private-farmers investment synergy. The present study used data collected from coffee farmers and cooperatives in Mbeya, Songwe and Ruvuma in Tanzania. Analyses were achieved by using descriptive statistics and difference-in-difference (DiD) at both the farm level and cooperative level. The results indicate that the 2017/2018 government policy changes ameliorated moral hazard and free-riding behaviors among farmers, owing to repay loans. Cooperatives with contractual arrangements with private investors suffered from moral hazards attributable to policy changes whereby the decline in the coffee collection was 33,040 kg (with an average treatment effect on the treated (ATT)) of coffee parchment, whereas, at the farmers’ level, farmers reduced the collection of coffee with an ATT of 24.6 kg. In addition, because of these changes, some central pulse units were found to be non-functional, while others were under-utilized. In this regard, such moral hazard behavior among coffee farmers destabilized cooperatives, as well as the existing synergy between private investors and cooperatives. It is recommended that before policy or any institutional change, it is important to consider strategies and paths to reduce the moral hazard and free-riding behaviors of any stakeholder to improve market efficiency. For the coffee sector, this would include farmers collecting coffee from member cooperatives only. The government must consider having an effective institutional/policy change mechanism, in particular having a preparatory stage for policy change, to ensure that all contracts that have to be affected by such changes are reinforced properly to reduce unnecessary losses for any actor in the value chain. The government can facilitate or mediate disputes related to investments in agriculture, provide administrative support, and help negotiate compensation.

PurposeFemale smallholder farmers in low-income countries face barriers to accessing capital and commodity markets. While agricultural cooperatives provide services that contribute to the income and productivity of small-scale producers, evidence of cooperatives' social and economic empowerment of female smallholders remains limited. We apply Sen's capability approach to female entrepreneurs' socioeconomic empowerment to examine whether women's participation in a coffee and microfinance cooperative from rural western Uganda benefits their social and economic position within their household. First, we study the relationship between women's cooperative participation and their household coffee sales and savings. Second, we investigate the link between women's cooperative participation and their intra-household decision-making and whether the inclusion of the husband in his wife's cooperative strengthens or lowers women's decision-making power.Design/methodology/approachWe carry out a case study of a hybrid coffee and microfinance cooperative that promotes social innovation through the integration and empowerment of female smallholders in rural Uganda. Using a cross-sectional survey of 411 married female cooperative members from 26 randomly selected self-help groups of Bukonzo Joint Cooperative and 196 female non-members from the identical area, employing propensity score matching, this paper investigates the benefits of women's participation in a coffee and microfinance cooperative in the Rwenzori Mountains of western Uganda. We present and discuss the results of our case study within an extensive literature on the role of institutions in collective action for women's empowerment.FindingsOur findings provide new empirical evidence on female smallholders' participation in mixed cooperatives. Our results indicate that women's participation in microfinance-producer cooperatives appears to be a conditional blessing: even though membership is linked to increased women's intra-household decision-making and raised household savings and income from coffee sales, a wife with a husband in the same cooperative self-help group is associated with diminished women's household decision-making power.Research limitations/implicationsThe focus of this study is on female coffee smallholders in an agricultural cooperative in rural western Uganda. In particular, we focus on a case study of one major coffee cooperative. Our cross-sectional survey does not allow us to infer causal interpretations. Also, the survey does not include variables that allow us to measure other dimensions of women's empowerment beyond decision-making over household expenditures and women's financial performance related to savings and income from coffee cultivation.Practical implicationsOur empirical results indicate that female smallholders' cooperative membership is associated with higher incomes and coffee sales. However, husband co-participation in their wives' cooperative group diminishes wives' decision-making, which suggests that including husbands and other family members in the same cooperative group may not be perceived as an attractive route to empowerment for female smallholders. For these reasons, an intervention that encourages the cooperation of both spouses and that is sensitive to context-specific gender inequalities, may be more successful at stimulating social change toward household gender equality than interventions that focus on women's autonomous spheres only.Originality/valueWhile the literature thus far has focused on microfinance's potential for women's empowerment, evidence on agricultural cooperatives' affecting women's social and economic position is limited. First, our findings provide novel empirical evidence on the empowering effects of women's participation in a self-help group-based coffee cooperative in rural Uganda. Second, our data allows us to explore the role of husbands' participation in their wives' cooperative and SGH. We embed our hypotheses and empirical results in a rich discussion of female entrepreneurship, microfinance and cooperative literature.

One of the leading export commodities in Indonesia that has been known in the domestic and international markets is Gayo Arabica Coffee (Arabica Coffee). The purpose of this study was to determine the quality criteria for receiving Gayo arabica coffee in several cooperatives and exporters in Central Aceh. In this study there were two cooperatives and two exporters (Central Aceh District), which were made as respondents, namely exporters A, B, cooperatives A, B. Data collection is done by observation, interviews, and documentation, directly or through questionnaires. Data from interviews and questionnaires are presented in the form of tables for the purpose of analyzing coffee criteria, which are used by cooperatives and exporters. Quality requirements that become a reference by cooperatives and exporters are SNI No. 01-2907-2008 concerning the Quality Requirements of Coffee Beans. Every cooperative and exporter buys seeds from members/farmers with certain quality conditions. The criteria for receiving coffee beans, grain coffee, rice coffee, which are used by respondents are quite diverse and some have not fully followed the standards of SCAA and SNI. However the quality criteria they use when selling / exporting coffee must be in accordance with SNI and SCAA.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper was to assess the influence of process innovation on the performance of coffee cooperatives in Kenya.
Methodology: A descriptive research design was applied. The target population was 525 coffee cooperative societies in Kenya registered with the Commissioner for Cooperatives and licensed by AFFA (Coffee Directorate) as at 30th of October 2016. The sample size was 227 respondents which was arrive at using stratified random sampling technique. Structured questionnaires were used to collect primary data. Descriptive statistic such as means scores and standard deviation and inferential statistics such regressions were used.
Findings: The study found that there was a positive relationship between process innovation and the performance of the coffee cooperatives (β=0.591, p=0.027). This implied that an improvement in the aspects related to process through which the firm operates relatively multiplies the performance outcomes of cooperatives in a positive manner. Investing in process innovation was found to have the largest and most significant effect compared to investing in organization, marketing and product innovations.
Recommendation: The study recommends that for prioritization purposes, coffee societies should prioritize investing in process innovations compared to other innovations, especially if there a limited budget. Policy makers should ensure a favorable environment for process innovations.

Coffee is one of the most consumed beverages in the world; its production is based mainly on varieties of the Coffea arabica species. Mexico stands out for its specialty and organic coffee. In Guerrero, the production is done by small indigenous community cooperatives that market their product as raw material. Official Mexico Standards stipulate the requirements for its commercialization within the national territory. In this work, the physical, chemical, and biological characterizations of green, medium, and dark roasted beans from C. arabica varieties were carried out. Analysis by HPLC showed higher chlorogenic acid (55 mg/g) and caffeine (1.8 mg/g) contents in the green beans of the Bourbon and Oro Azteca varieties. The caffeine (3.88 mg/g) and melanoidin (97 and 29 mg/g) contents increased according to the level of roasting; a dissimilar effect was found in the chlorogenic acid content (14.5 mg/g). The adequate nutritional content and the sensory evaluation allowed the classification of dark-roasted coffee as premium coffee (84.25 points) and medium-roasted coffee as specialty coffee (86.25 points). The roasted coffees presented antioxidant activity without cytotoxic effects; the presence of CGA and caffeine supports the beneficial effects of drinking coffee. The results obtained will serve as a basis for making decisions on improvements to the coffees analyzed.

Several factors can influence the process of pricing mechanisms, namely competition between market participants, regulation, product quality, and consumer preferences. This is a challenge for Gayo Arabica coffee farmers, where coffee is the main commodity in Central Aceh Regency. This paper aimed to determine the social relations that occur between social actors (farmers, collectors, certification cooperatives and exporters) in the coffee marketing mechanism. This paper used a qualitative research method with a survey approach by conducting interviews with farmers, collectors, certification cooperatives and exporters. The results showed that the marketing of Gayo Arabica coffee involved several layers of actors. The coffee product marketing system can be done through two facilities, namely through export sales and domestic sales. There are differences in the income of coffee farmers in marketing coffee abroad or in the country where farmers benefit more from selling coffee products for exports. Relationship among actors are interdependent and bound. Farmers need collectors as tool providers and coffee price informans. Farmers follow cooperative certificates to get fair and more profitable prices.

A women's cooperative is a form of women's empowerment in improving the economy of pre-prosperous women, where women are a marginalized group and face difficulty getting access to business capital loans, impacting their welfare. The presence of a women's cooperative is a solution to open access to capital provision for underprivileged women to improve their standard of living. Women's cooperatives have a very active role in the Bener Meriah Regency because they are managed directly by women, and all empowered members are women. Role theory and community empowerment theory are used to analyze the research results. The research paradigm used is the constructivism paradigm with a qualitative methodological approach. The results of this study suggest that cooperatives have an essential role in empowering the community, especially women as a marginalized group, to revive the household economy. The women's cooperative in Bener Meriah Regency is a cooperative in which all management is carried out by women, from coaching farmers to marketing agricultural products, especially the Gayo arabica coffee commodity. The women's cooperative addressed was Gayo Women's Coffee Cooperative (KOKOWAGAYO), which has been successful in empowering the economy of coffee farmers to carry out marketing to international markets through the export of coffee commodities.

Arabica coffee has promising market potential in the world market, which reaches 85%. However, national coffee commodity production has been dominated by Robusta coffee which reaches 90% and only 10% of production is Arabica coffee. Given the opportunity of this Arabica coffee market, the West Sumatra government tried to develop this type of coffee. Solok Regency is an area that develops Arabica Coffee rapidly so that it can become the second largest Arabica coffee growing area in the last 3 years. The study aims to: (1) Measure the proportion of smallholder farmers whose income is below the poverty line and the severity of the poverty situation; (2) Analyze the influence of economic and non-economic factors on the poverty rate of coffee farmers. This research will be conducted in Solok Regency which is selected purposively with the consideration that this area has a high poverty rate and has a rapid growth in arabica coffee growing area. The results showed that the poverty rate of Arabica coffee farmers is quite large with a Head-count index of 0.50 meaning that as many as 50% of farmers have incomes that are below the poverty line. Arabica coffee farmers who are members of cooperatives have a higher poverty rate compared to non-cooperative farmers both from the Headcount Index and from the Poverty Gap Index and Poverty Severity Index. This is because cooperative farmers have no other source of income and are very dependent on coffee farming on narrow land. Factors that affect the poverty rate of Arabica coffee farmers are assets and being members of cooperatives. The existence of cooperatives will be able to increase opportunities for farmers to gain access to economic facilities, one of which is access to financing sources, so that it will be able to encourage farmers to develop their businesses and open new businesses to increase their income.To increase the income of Arabica coffee farmers, there needs to be policies to encourage farmers to open other businesses so as to increase farmers' incomes. Diversification of business becomes very important because it will be able to help farmers to get out of poverty.

The seventh ICA principle of "concern for community" clearly urges the cooperatives to carry out sustainable community development activities. Even though the cooperatives are serving the community directly or indirectly, their sight to the concept Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is not clearly considered by their members, academicians, and the government. The objective of this study was to assess the corporate social responsibility practices performed by Coffee Producer Farmers’ Cooperative Unions at the study area. In this study primary and secondary data source were used. The size of respondents was 395 members of Cooperative Society and 50 Government officials. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 20. The finding shows that there are job creation, supply of agricultural input, and expansion of coffee processing industry for serving both members and non-members, whereas drawback on the awareness creation to the community, participation of community in planning, implementing, and evaluating community projects, inconsistent allocation of community fund, and financial statements at unions’ offices for CSR budget. Therefore, management of the unions should participate the community during planning, implementing, and evaluating socially responsible projects, cooperative social responsibility practices should be thoroughly supervised and supported by the government, cooperatives from their annual surplus should allocate community fund, both GOs and NGOs working on sustainable development activity at the area must work with cooperatives, and Cooperatives have to maintain separate book of account to record financial activities of cooperative social responsibility practices.

One of the forms of work in the agricultural sector at the Latin American level is the formation of organizations such as cooperatives. The Peruvian coffee sector has not been alien to this model, which after 50 years seems to have found an organizational model through the formation and strengthening of Associations or Cooperatives of Multiple Services, increasing their quality. The objective was to determine the adoption curve of the new organizational model of coffee organizations in the Peruvian coffee sector during the last 20 years and the consequences of adopting the new organizational model (OC) in the Peruvian coffee sector. Were used reports of coffee exporting OCs, analysis of information on coffee exports, consequences of capital analysis. Of the exporting POs in 2021, in the group of those formed before 2000, which are only 18, there were 112 in 2021 with the largest increases in the years 2000-2008 and 2012-2019, between consequences found there are better prices of the OCs per quintal exported, increase in certified coffees, and recomposition of the exporters, with a 37% share of exports for the OCs in the year 2021.

Agroforestry systems, with products in the form of robusta coffee, can increase income and environmental sustainability. The research objective is to find out the robusta coffee marketing channel. Retrieval of data through interviews with actors or institutions involved, observation, and documentation studies. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively qualitatively about the structure, behavior, and market channels. The results of the study indicate that there are several marketing institutions, namely: farmers, collectors, wholesalers, retailers, and cooperatives. In addition, there are three channels of robusta coffee marketing, namely: (1) farmers to collectors, then wholesalers and retailers, (2) farmers to cooperatives, then retailers, and (3) farmers to cooperatives. The most efficient channel is the third channel, but most farmers choose to sell their coffee to the first channel. This is because of the closer distance to the collecting traders, the lending of money given to farmers by collecting traders, and the absence of special treatment for coffee sold. The market structure formed in coffee marketing is the oligopsonist market, where the price of coffee is determined by large traders. The capacity of cooperatives should be improved by the government in order to compete with collectors, wholesalers, and retailers.

The main sources of community income at Air Kubang village, Air Naningan sub-district, Tanggamus District is from the cultivation and marketing of robusta coffee (Coffea robusta) that is managed using an agroforestry system. Coffee-based agroforestry also contributed a positive ecological impact on the surrounding communities such as the preservation of springs that are utilized by the community to meet household needs. A study on coffee marketing is urgently needed to determine the efficient marketing channels based on the market performance of each channel. The purpose of this research was to identify marketing channels of robusta coffee and determine the performance of each marketing channel. Data were collected in December 2018 in Air Kubang Village, Air Naningan District, Tanggamus Regency. The data were obtained through interviews with respondents such as farmers and marketing institutions involved in the marketing of robusta coffee. Market performances were analyzed through the calculation of marketing margin, profit margin, profit margin ratio, share, and marketing efficiency. The study identified three marketing channels as follows: (1) farmers – collector traders – wholesalers – retailers, (2) farmers – cooperatives – retailers, and (3) farmers – cooperatives. Analysis of marketing efficiency (EP) showed that the three marketing channels were efficient with the EP values <1. However overall results showed that the marketing of coffee for the three marketing channels was not yet efficient, showing high marketing and profit margins, uneven distribution of profit margin ratio, and low share received by farmers.Keywords: agroforestry, marketing efficiency, marketing margin, robusta coffee

Cooperatives are important vehicles for community development because of their capacity to mobilize local resources into critical masses. Their potential to respond to socio-economic needs of community cannot be underrated. Despite efforts by many governments to uplift their operations and sustainability, they continue to face sustainability challenges. The study was addressing the challenges and opportunities of agricultural cooperatives in coffee production and marketing in Bushenyi and Sheema Districts in Uganda. The specific objectives were to; identify the challenges that hamper cooperative growth and available opportunities for their growth and sustainability. The study was a descriptive-cross sectional survey engaging both qualitative and quantitative approaches for data collection and analysis. Information was collected from 360 cooperative members and other key informants using questionnaire and interviews. Data was analysed using SPSS version 21 to generate both descriptive and inferential statistics. The study identified various challenges hampering cooperative growth such as; inadequate supply of inputs, inadequate member participation, lack of trust, poor coordination, lack of democracy, failure to serve the members’ interest, lack of capital resources, poor power relations with the local government, corruption and mis-use of fund. The study also confirmed that; indorsing democracy, active participation, fighting corruption, building trust, and strengthening governance were the available opportunities for sustaining cooperative growth. This could however be achieved through policy measures like tough penalties against corrupt, prioritizing training and education, cooperative tax exemption, creating cooperative bank, emphasizing democracy and equal participation, strengthening governance structures as well as introducing reward systems. As a result of the significant results, the study concludes that there are different socio-economic and institution challenges hampering the potential of cooperatives in promoting agricultural development in Bushenyi/Sheema districts. It therefore recommends the reestablishment of a Cooperative Bank to provide loans necessary for agricultural cooperatives with suitable interests. It also recommends the need to create more awareness about the benefits of cooperatives to members and general population. Fighting corruption is also paramount.

Texto completoResumen
The existence of cooperatives in coffee production, centers is expected to support and help the economy of coffee farmers. One of the best coffee producing areas in Indonesia is Aceh Province, this is proven because coffee produced in Aceh has been exported to various countries such as Europe. America and countries in Asia. Aceh coffee which is better known internationally is the type of Gayo Arabica coffee because it has a distinctive aroma and taste. (Tambarta, 2016) The name Gayo Arabica coffee arises because the best-tasting Arabica coffee comes from the Gayo highlands, namely Central Aceh and Bener Meriah districts.
This research uses descriptive quantitative research methods. Quantitative descriptive is a method that describes the research topic with variables that can be measured quantitatively (Sugiyono, 2011). The research was conducted at the Women's Coffee Cooperative (KOKOWA) Bener Meriah Regency. This location was determined intentionally or purposively because the KOKOWA Cooperative is the only cooperative whose members are all housewives and coffee farmers (having dual roles). The method used in analyzing the data is descriptive qualitative analysis using a Likert scale instrument, which describes several question items arranged in a questionnaire and each question is given a score equal to the respondent's choice. Likert scale is a scale used to measure attitudes, opinions and perceptions of a group of people about social events or phenomena. This research produces TKT 1 with output targets in the form of (1) scientific publications in international research journals with accepted status, (2) HKI research reports with granted status, (3) publication of activities in print or online media.

The study's main topic was how Ethiopian coffee cooperatives' financial management practices and organizational performance are mediated by human capital. The cross-sectional study with multistage sampling was employed by the researchers. KMO was employed as a test for adequate data. To evaluate the overall impact of the regression, total variance was used. To determine if the observable variables could adequately explain the latent determinants, confirmatory factor analysis was utilized. The model fitness and mediation analysis were both tested using SEM. According to study, there was a significant link based on the data because the KMO value of.906 was greater than 0.5 and the statistical threshold for the Bartlett's test was lower than 0.05. The researchers discovered that the CMIN/DF was less than 3.0, indicating model acceptance. The model being tested is compared using the Tucker Lewis Index (TLI). Mediation of Human capital has led to a roughly 75% boost in performance of Coffee Cooperatives. As a result, there is now some partial mediation between financial management practices and coffee cooperative performance.

Texto completoResumen
Nicaraguan smallholder cooperative leaders working in partnership with a California-based small-scale roasting company pioneered an alternative approach to confronting the post-1999 coffee crisis. They built coffee tasting laboratories and integrated grassroots organizing efforts to create a national smallholder cooperative association that dramatically improved the quality, consistency, and prices from of the coffee they exported. Cooperative leaders used this development project to gain a more significant share of political economic power in a domestic coffee industry historically dominated by colonial powers, and corporate and domestic elites. This alli.ance between the artisanal small-scale roasting companies and cooperative leaders also proved that smallholders selling into fair trade markets could consistently produce and export high quality coffee. This case study unfolds into Nicaragua's northern mountains, northern California's coastal cities and the commodity trade and solidarity networks that connect them. Beyond following the coffee bean from mountainside farmers, through artisan specialty coffee roasters, and into the hands of Bay Area coffee drinkers, the article recovers the history of political and technological revolutions and the transnational solidarity networks that contributed to sustainability innovations within the coffee value chain. Although the tangible benefits of fair trade coffee to farmers and landscapes have not lived up to the lofty proclamations of its advocates, farmers generally receive higher prices for their coffee and are frequently more secure in their land titles. This political ecology of coffee and solidarity suggests theoretical questions about the role of classic revolutions, and Polanyian double movements in the efforts to practice the alternative values and principles that motivate many of today's sustainability innovations.Key words: Nicaragua, participatory action research, coffee cooperatives, sustainability, innovations.

This article illustrates the trust relationships among the members of the Brazilian Association of Fairtrade Farmers Organizations (BRFair), which is a second-level network of coffee-producing cooperatives. Representatives of 19 cooperatives were interviewed in 2018 to verify their opinions about the other associations regarding several aspects. Through software specific for social network analysis, the direction and level of trust among the various cooperatives were measured. One cooperative is recognized as the most active and trustworthy, while the other ones are followers and perform peripheric roles. Several improvements are possible, including improvement in the performance of this second-level network and strengthening of its bargaining role with the other actors of the value chain.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of coffee pricing on reviving coffee production in cooperatives societies in Meru county, Kenya.Methodology: A descriptive survey research design was used in the study. The respondents were the coffee farmers and managers from coffee cooperative societies. A sample of 30%, that is,42 cooperative societies in Meru county was considered. Coffee farmers were sampled using simple random sampling for those who met inclusion and exclusion criteria, while all managers in all the sampled cooperative societies participated in the study. Data collection was done using closed-ended questionnaires and interviews. To ensure validity and reliability, pre-testing of questionnaires was done on 10 active coffee farmers, while pre-test interviews were administered to 5 managers from Kamuthi housing cooperative society of Murang’ a County. Coded data in SPSS 24.0 computer program was analyzed quantitatively using descriptive statistics such as mean, percentage, and standard deviation. Univariate regression and multiple regression were used to test the hypothesis of the study. Tables, graphs, and detailed explanations were used to present the final results of the study. Results: Coffee pricing had the highest average mean score of 4.42 and a standard deviation of 0.89. The model summary of coffee pricing indicated that R-value was 0.932 and R-square was 0.869. This confirmed that coffee pricing predicted 86.9 % of the revival of coffee production. While being interviewed managers came out strongly that effective coffee pricing had increased new customers; there were improved sales quantities and there was retainment of old customers; clearance of stocks on time which improved revenue and reduced spoilage of coffee beans. The study therefore found out that coffee pricing significantly influences reviving coffee production in cooperative societies in Meru county Kenya.Unique contribution to theory, policy and practice: The study contributed that coffee pricing significantly influenced reviving coffee production in cooperative societies in Meru county Kenya. Coffee farmers should be encouraged to be interested in different types of coffee pricing to offer innovative suggestions to coffee cooperative societies. Managers should be well versed with different price types and also be innovative enough to suggest new ones based on various locations and different quality of the coffee sold. The marketing department in a cooperative society should do more research on their current market base to see what prices are working and the ones that are not. The government should set up policies that will see to it that local coffee consumption has improved. This is because only 5% of coffee is consumed locally while 95% is exported

Texto completoResumen
The specialty coffee sector represents opportunities for coffee farmers and other actors due to increased value within the supply chain, driven by elevated consumer purchase prices. We investigated these relationships up to the export stage, as well as the potential for specialty coffee to improve stakeholder participation in biodiversity conservation. Household data was collected from a sample of 272 coffee farmers belonging to five primary cooperatives, in the heavily forested area of Yayu, in the Illubabor administrative zone of Oromia regional state in south-western Ethiopia, for the 2017/2018 harvest season. Qualitative and quantitative data, gathered between 2015 and 2019, from focus group discussions, was used to supplement the survey and to explain the empirical findings. We show that the income from coffee (and thus household income) can be increased, in some cases substantially, via participation in the specialty coffee market. The unit price for coffee was much higher than standard market prices and those including certification premiums. Whilst quality is a key factor for specialty coffee, income increases via the specialty market are caveat bound. In particular, there is a critical requirement for efficient and effective cooperative management, and we provide suggestions for improvements. In the long-term, more focus is needed to increase the financial and human capacities of Ethiopian coffee cooperatives, to make them more effective partners in the specialty coffee value chain. The high conversion rates from harvested to clean exportable specialty coffee (8:1, or higher) is identified as a major constraint on profitability. We show that specialty coffee can bring about positive environmental benefits. Elevating coffee prices and farm profitability to bring household income levels to around or above the global poverty line may ensure the continuation of forest coffee production, and thus the retention of forest. The increases in income via specialty coffee production, reported in the study, were achieved without increasing land use or the application of environmentally costly inputs. Moreover, analysis of satellite data shows that a large proportion of the coffee farms surveyed retain a level of forest cover and quality approaching primary (undisturbed) forest, and that the coffee production area at Yayu has not experienced any significant deforestation (since 2000). We recommend that coffee premiums linked to environmental benefit should demonstrate clearly defined and appropriate metrics, as we have demonstrated here for forest (canopy) quality and coverage (area).

The potential for coffee development in Indonesia has great opportunities, supported by high market demand. The purpose of the study was to determine the characteristics of coffee agroforestry and its contribution to the income of farmers in Tulungrejo Village, Ngantang District, Malang Regency. Types of data consist of primary data and secondary data. Primary data were obtained from interviews with 90 respondents of coffee agroforestry farmers who are members of the Forest Farmers Village Partnership Institute (LKDPH). Data processing used quantitative descriptive analysis by calculating production costs, revenues, and income, as well as the contribution of coffee agroforestry to the total income of farmers. The results showed that farmers applied agrisilviculture with a simple system, namely planting robusta coffee (Coffea canephora) under forest tree stands. The value of the R/C ratio is 2.98 where the value is >1, meaning that coffee agroforestry farming provides benefits. The application of coffee agroforestry contributes significantly to the total income of farmers, which is 58.47%. The development of coffee agroforestry is directed at increasing productivity and quality without damaging the shade plants. The policy implications of coffee agroforestry development must involve all relevant parties including the government, entrepreneurs, farmer groups, banks, and cooperatives.

Majority of the farmers in the coffee-growing zones are determined to ensure high production despite the numerous challenges that they face. Though there have been many efforts made by National and County governments with the aim of maximizing coffee production in terms of quality and quantity, farm productivity has remained low and, in some cases, shown a declining trend. The study aimed at assessing the factors affecting farmers’ experience in optimizing coffee production in Chuka Sub-County, Kenya. A sample of 153 respondents was selected from a population of 7,428 coffee farmers using proportional stratified random. The respondents were from ten cooperatives in the Chuka Sub-County, and each cooperative was treated as a stratum. The study used Chi-square test to determine association between the effects of farmers' experience and optimization of coffee yield. The logit model was also used to establish the relationship between farmer’s experience and coffee yield optimization. The study revealed that coffee farming experience and the number of trainings attended positively and significantly affected yield optimization. On the other hand, the number of journals read negatively and significantly influences yield. Therefore, the study findings recommends that coffee farmers should persist in coffee farming for many years to increase they knowledge and increase training attendance to optimize coffee production.

Texto completoResumen
In present day Mexico, Chiapas is the state that produces the greatest amount of coffee, with both the highest number of producers and the largest cultivated area. A significant part of this production is organic coffee. Organic coffee growing emerged as an important alternative for small producers who previously devoted themselves to the production and commercialization of conventional coffee but found it increasingly difficult to make a living. The expansion of the cultivation of organic coffee was closely related to the processes of peasant mobilization that started in the 1970s when the agricultural model of the Green Revolution went into crisis. This article analyzes the expansion of organic coffee growing in Chiapas and its connection with the process of the collective organization of small coffee producers in cooperatives. In these cooperatives, an alternative model of production was established based on the peasants’ traditional knowledge. We argue that the development of organic coffee growing was strongly linked to the long tradition of community life, communal management of land and natural resources, and collective action. We also underline the resilience of the peasants’ traditional farming systems and their contribution to a more sustainable and environmentally respectful agriculture.
