Estudios de caso sobre costos de manejo integrado de la broca del café en el departamento del Risaralda
This study found that coffee collection was the activity with the highest participation (about 40 percent) in the production cost structure, followed by the fixed costs, labour used in other activities, post-harvesting process, inputs and Coffee Berry Borer management (about 9 percent of the total production costs). The cost composition for CBB management shows that approximately 90 percent of it is due to labour whereas the other 10 percent corresponds to inputs needed for this pest control. Furthermore, when carrying out sensitivity analysis which implied to simulate increasing in labour cost in 5, 10 and 20 percent there were little negative effects on unit variable cost, gross margin, unit variable costs and break-even point. Thus, due to low coffee berry borer management participation in the total costs structure, changes in labour cost do not affect economic performance of the coffee farm at all. However, when the coffee farmer carries out an adequate coffee berry borer management it is possible to reduce damage in coffee quality, which conducts to obtain better higher revenue. If there is no management or it is not adequate, serious economic problems will arise at farm level threatening its economic viability.
