“…Coffee has adapted to the varied topography of the state and its diversity of climates since it is cultivated from 300 to 3000 m asl [18]. Therefore, today, its production exceeds 140,000 ha [19], whose area occupies almost the entire state with immersion throughout the entire state [11]. Veracruz has 10 regions within in its territory, each with different environmental, economic, social, and cultural characteristics [20].…”

Coffee is one of the most traded crops worldwide. In the state of Veracruz, Mexico, coffee has been a strategic crop due to its economic, social, environmental, and cultural characteristics that differentiate it from other crops, contributing to the economy of almost 86,000 producers. Several studies have shown that climate is the main cause of the decrease in coffee production and yield. Due to the multi-faceted importance of coffee for the state, the relationship of coffee production and yield with the variables of precipitation (mm) and temperature (°C) from 2003 to 2022 was analyzed through the implementation of a mathematical model that was able to identify that both the total volume of coffee production is decreasing on average at a rate of 7614.9 Mg year−1 as well as the yield, with a significant decrease of 0.106 Mg year−1. It was also found that the optimum temperature value is 18.7 °C, and the optimal precipitation is 1700 mm for the development of coffee. This model also shows that yield is more sensitive to temperature than to precipitation in the study area. Through the application of surveys to 360 producers in 16 coffee-growing municipalities, seven stressors were identified that together hinder the continuity of the coffee industry in the state. These stressors are (1) economic, (2) climatic, (3) land use, (4) technical, (5) social, (6) political, and (7) other. Finally, some strategies are herein proposed to improve coffee production towards greater sustainability, such as agricultural restructuring at the national, regional, and local levels as well as programs and policies to support producers for the continuity of the crop in the region.

“…Los principales estados productores son Chiapas (41%), Veracruz (25%) y Puebla (15%) (SADER, 2018, 2020, Escamilla-Prado et al, 2021. El estado de Veracruz tiene más de 143 mil hectáreas sembradas y participan más de 40 mil productores concentrados principalmente en las regiones de las Altas Montañas, los Tuxtlas y la Huasteca, en el caso de la primera destacan los municipios de Coatepec, Coscomatepec, Zentla, Huatusco, Ixhuatlán del Café, Zongolica, Tezonapa y Córdoba (SADER, 2018;Sánchez-Hernández et al, 2019;Vargas-Arroyave et al, 2020) siendo el mercado internacional su principal objetivo (80%) (Estados Unidos de Norteamérica, Alemania, Bélgica y España) (Mestries, 2006).…”

Background: Veracruz is the second largest coffee producer in Mexico and its production is of productive, economic and social importance. Objective: to analyze the participation of women in the coffee production process and decision-making in 11 municipalities in the region of the High Mountains of Veracruz. Methodology: A survey applied through personal interviews was used, with the application of 98 questionnaires to women coffee producers. We worked with two focus groups: coffee plantation owners defined as Women Coffee Producers (MDP, 15) and non-owners of coffee plantations but who participate in family production considered as Family Women Coffee Producers (MFP, 18); A database was created in Excel Microsoft Windows, the data was analyzed with Statistica version 8.0. Results: It was found that the MDPs play a double role (producers and housewives/entrepreneurs/artisans), while the MFPs are exclusively dedicated to the home. Therefore, coupled with the fact that they have land ownership rights, their participation is low. Implications: it is important to carry out research with a gender perspective to recognize the preponderant activity of women, considering men. Conclusions: it is important to encourage women to recognize their work in order to make visible the work carried out on the plots.

“…It is a strategic activity in the agrifood sector of the State of Veracruz --the second largest national producer, with 139,000 hectares and 42,000 growers. The following municipalities stand out in this agribusiness: Misantla, Tlapacoyan, Coatepec, Coscomatepec, Zentla, Huatusco, Ixhuatlán del Café, Zongolica, Tezonapa, Córdoba, and Sierra de Santa Marta (Los Tuxtlas Region) (Sánchez Hernández et al, 2019;Vargas-Arroyave et al, 2020).…”

Objective: To characterize the profile and empowerment level of women in the coffee (Coffea arabica L.) production sector in the High Mountains Region, Veracruz, Mexico. Design/methodology: The assessment considered two scenarios: women coffee production owners (MDP) and coffee producers’ wives (EFP). The study was conducted in five municipalities with a “non-probabilistic” sample. Eighty questionnaires with a Likert-type scale were applied in the municipalities of Coatepec, Huatusco, Sochiapa, Tlaltetela, and Zentla, Veracruz. Results: The age of women in both profiles ranged between 41 and 60 years. Marital status for MDP is 20% single and 23% divorced, while 80% of the EFP are married. Education level among MDP is higher than among EFP. Most MDP have two or more jobs (78%), while EFP are mostly housewives (68%). Most MDP (65%) presented a high empowerment level and 35% a medium level. Among EFP, 45% had a high empowerment level and 55% a medium level. Limitations and implications: Survey on how male producers perceive women’s participation and empowerment within the coffee sector. Conclusion: Empowerment level is higher among women production owners —since this allows them to show leadership and autonomy in decision-making— than among women who depend economically on a male producer. This dependency limits the role women play in decision-making.
