Abstract

This article aims to identify and analyze the growth dynamics of the
coffee crop in Minas Gerais and in two traditional producers of the State’s Southwest
and Savannah regions. The theoretical framework used is based on the theory
of induced innovation. The analytic model is denominated “Shift–Share”, which
allows decomposing growth sources in affected areas, yield, geographical location
and composition, in order to find the factors responsible for the growth (or fall)
of production. The results indicate that there are differences in the factors that
determine the growth of coffee production in the most traditional area (Southwest)
compared to the relatively more modern area (Savannah). Therefore, it can be
pointed out that developing programs and policies in certain agricultural areas
should take into consideration their specific characteristics in order to stimulate
activities and practices that can generate the best possible results for them.
