Brazil is the world's largest producer (ca. 48.8 million bags of Arabica coffee in 2020) and exporter of coffee, which is one of the most important sources of income for Brazilian economy. Currently, the coffee agribusiness encompasses about 1900 producing municipalities, 370,000 coffee growers, 1 million rural workers, and more than 8 million Brazilians who depend on the agro-industrial …
The mechanisms that influence coffee quality are complex and involve factors such as genetics, cultivation conditions, post-harvest processing, toast and drink preparation. Multidisciplinary teams are necessary for the development of research and technologies at critical and strategic points of this coffee production chain so that the farmer is able to make assertive decisions to obtain q…
The project aims to elaborate an automated methodology for flowering and fruit ripening analyses in coffee by massive image capture, light manipulation and development of a program (algorithm/software) for digitization and data analysis. The desired results are quantitative, seeking to establish numerical patterns of floral proportion and ripening distribution in plants from the output da…
