Analysis and prioritization of production systems associated with coffee and avocado

The pressure for the change to avocado monocultures in traditional coffee systems in the state of Veracruz can have consequences, as this crop seeks to maximize financial profitability without considering the sustainability of employment, management, adapting and implementing environmentally friendly technologies, investment capacity and ecosystem services. The objective was to analyze and prioritize different production systems associated with the cultivation of coffee and avocado, through two scenarios: financial (EF) and multicriteria (EMC). EF included monetary measures, which calculated the Cost Benefit Ratio (RBC); at EMC, in addition to RBC, the criteria for the need for investment, employment, management, carbon and nitrogen in plant biomass, biomass and edaphic macrofauna diversity were incorporated, they were analyzed using the PROMETHEE method; through, from which a prioritization order was generated. The analyses were performed on five systems: monoculture avocado (SAM), avocado coffee (SAC), renovated coffee (SCR); coffee plantation with severe cleaning (SCL) and abandoned coffee (SCA), with cycle information 2018-2019. In EF the SAM resulted with RBC far above the others (2.43). EMC prioritized SCR, SAM, and SAC in the top three positions of the ranking. The analyses support the threat of SAM to displace coffee plantations, therefore, the challenge of designing and putting into practice public policies that value social and environmental variables remain, and thus consolidate SAC in a better position that allows to maintain coffee cultivation.

La presión por el cambio a monocultivos de aguacate en los sistemas tradicionales de café en el estado de Veracruz puede generar consecuencias, puesto que este cultivo busca maximizar la rentabilidad financiera sin considerar la sostenibilidad de empleo, gestión, adaptar e implementar tecnologías ambientalmente amigables, capacidad de inversión y servicios ecosistémicos. El objetivo fue analizar y priorizar distintos sistemas de producción asociados al cultivo de café y aguacate, mediante dos escenarios: financiero (EF) y multicriterio (EMC). En EF se incluyeron medidas monetarias, con las que se calculó la relación beneficio costo (RBC); en el EMC, además de RBC se incorporaron los criterios de necesidad de inversión, empleo, gestión, carbono y nitrógeno en biomasa vegetal, biomasa y diversidad de macrofauna edáfica, analizados con el método PROMETHEE; a través, del cual se generó un ordenamiento de priorización. Los análisis se realizaron en cinco sistemas: aguacate monocultivo (SAM), aguacate café (SAC), cafetal renovado (SCR); cafetal con limpiezas severas (SCL) y cafetal abandonado (SCA), con información del ciclo 2018-2019. En EF el SAM resultó con la RBC muy por encima de los demás (2.43). El EMC priorizo a los SCR, SAM y SAC en las tres primeras posiciones de la clasificación. Los análisis fundamentan la amenaza de los SAM para desplazar a los cafetales, por lo que se mantiene el reto de diseñar y poner en práctica políticas públicas que valoren las variables sociales y ambientales, y consolidar así SAC en una mejor posición que permitan mantener el cultivo de café.
