Los caminhos de la calidad, un estudio sobre la visión de expertos y productores rurales a respeto de procesos y tecnologías.

The production of special coffees consists of an art, employing different management and production and processing systems, to obtain the most advantageous results regarding final product quality. Several factors interact during the production cycle being, almost always, essential to obtain a product with better quality or, on the other hand, for its deterioration. This work aims to study and quantify the perception of the degree of importance of various forms and methods for the production of special coffees, from producers and experts, in the mountain regions of Espírito Santo. As methodology to understand the processes adopted by producers and indicated by experts, we used a questionnaire with closed questions, being the questionnaire validated by Cronbach's Alpha. After instrument validation, data were analyzed by t test, for analysis and comparison of the studied groups. The results indicate that some processes have no homogeneity between experts and producers of special coffees, indicating gaps which need to be better understood and studied. The harvest, wet processing, storage and technical assistance constructs were more homogeneous among the studied group, indicating that various techniques are rooted between experts and producers of special coffees.

Description
Summary:The production of special coffees consists of an art, employing different management and production and processing systems, to obtain the most advantageous results regarding final product quality. Several factors interact during the production cycle being, almost always, essential to obtain a product with better quality or, on the other hand, for its deterioration. This work aims to study and quantify the perception of the degree of importance of various forms and methods for the production of special coffees, from producers and experts, in the mountain regions of Espírito Santo. As methodology to understand the processes adopted by producers and indicated by experts, we used a questionnaire with closed questions, being the questionnaire validated by Cronbach's Alpha. After instrument validation, data were analyzed by t test, for analysis and comparison of the studied groups. The results indicate that some processes have no homogeneity between experts and producers of special coffees, indicating gaps which need to be better understood and studied. The harvest, wet processing, storage and technical assistance constructs were more homogeneous among the studied group, indicating that various techniques are rooted between experts and producers of special coffees.
