            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.
