“…This research confirms previous studies (Ramirez-Gomez et al, 2022;Pião et al, 2020) showing the importance of VSSs to upgrade working conditions and safety. Certified farms present better agricultural practices and labor standards than non-certified farms, based on the criteria verified by the inspections Lima et al, 2008).…”

“…This explains the proliferation of certifications and labels in this market, which cover a broad range of criteria, including agricultural practices, working conditions, and environmental impact, among others. These private governance instruments, referred to in this paper as VSSs, play a significant role in enhancing the production and labor standards of this production chain (Ramirez-Gomez et al, 2022;Lima et al, 2008;Pião et al, 2020).…”

Resumo O surgimento de mecanismos de governança privada tem sido destacado como um instrumento fundamental para evitar a flexibilização dos direitos trabalhistas e defender condições de trabalho decentes nas cadeias agrícolas. Este artigo analisa o impacto dos Padrões de Sustentabilidade Voluntária (VSSs, da sigla em inglês) nos direitos trabalhistas no setor de produção de café no Cerrado Mineiro, uma importante região produtora no Brasil. Em 2017, o Brasil passou por uma reforma abrangente de suas leis trabalhistas e instituições legais que regulam tais relações. Com base em pesquisa qualitativa utilizando dados primários e secundários, esta pesquisa investiga se os VSSs foram eficazes em preservar os direitos trabalhistas dos trabalhadores rurais em um ambiente institucional mais desregulamentado após a reforma trabalhista de 2017. Os resultados indicam que os VSSs não garantem os direitos trabalhistas e que a flexibilização das leis trabalhistas pode ameaçar os trabalhadores rurais do setor de café.

“…Among Colombian growers, medium and wealthy farmers benefit more than small and low-income farmers due to the high costs and strict requirements of the certifications and sustainability standards. Similar results and considerations have been reported by Beuchelt [9], Gómez-Cardona [8], Rámirez-Gómez [16], and Valbuena et al [15]. In their studies, these authors highlight how certification costs and requirements can be burdensome for smallholders.…”

Coffee is one of the most highly traded commodities in global markets. However, the coffee sector experiences significant value chain asymmetries and inequalities, both at the local and global levels. While market instruments may address these imbalances, there is an increasing recognition of the need for governance models that ensure fairness throughout the coffee supply chains, from agricultural production to the roasting and consumption of coffee. This article aims to provide a state-of-the-art review and analysis of research studies on governance dynamics within the coffee chain in Colombia. Colombia is a key coffee-producing country at the global level, with relevant coffee chain governance features. The review encompasses articles published from 2008 to 2023, a period that coincides with significant political and economic transformations in Colombia. The analysis and discussion of the findings highlight key issues and insights for further research to identify potential strategies promoting equity and sustainability within Colombian coffee chain governance.

“…Adoption of recommended application rates of manure, fungicides, and pesticides can also positively affect coffee productivity at the farm level [6,7]. Furthermore, collaboration between the government, agricultural research institutions, and the coffee industry can help address the challenges faced by coffee farmers [8][9][10]. This collaborative effort can increase the productivity of coffee farmers, resulting in more optimal yields [11,12].…”

Coffee has become a significant commodity for the people of Indonesia, including in Bener Meriah Regency. However, the quality of coffee remains low, partly due to deficiencies in the post-harvest process. This study aimed to analyze coffee farmers' post-harvest process in the Permata Sub-district and identify strategies to enhance coffee quality through farmers' institutions. The research method was qualitative, with data collection techniques comprising in-depth interviews and observation. The findings indicated that most coffee farmers in the Permata Sub-district lacked comprehensive post-harvest processing, impacting the coffee quality. The recommendations of this study emphasize the importance of strengthening coffee farmers' institutions, such as coffee farmer groups, to improve farmers' knowledge and skills in conducting optimal post-harvest processing following specialty coffee standards.
