Coffee researches

The Università del Caffè Brazil was born in March of 2000 as a result of a partnership between PENSA (Agribusiness Knowledge Center - FEA/USP and FIA) and illycaffè. The mission, since the beginning, has being the generation and dissemination of knowledge to the coffee system. To celebrate 18 years of activities we publish this collection of research conducted between 2013 and 2017. During these years of activity the UdC Brazil team, in close harmony with Illycaffè, has conducted courses to coffee growers and technicians covering technical and managerial aspects. There were more than 9 thousand participations in seminars, short courses and five editions of Specialization Course in the Coffee Agribusiness. In tune with the needs of coffee growers and illycaffè, since 2014 the UdC Brazil courses are held at a distance through the portal universidadedocafe.com.Aligned with its mission, the University of Caffè Brazil generates knowledge through the production of research. This book intends to support the dissemination of the knowledge to the community of the coffee agribusiness, adding value to all its participants.
