Abstract

The objective of this study was to measure the coffee agribusiness in Brazil, its indicators, and the economic impacts of exports, using the input-product matrix with a product x product focus for the year 2017. The production chain was divided into agricultural inputs, production of coffee beans, processed coffee (industry), and services. The results showed that the agribusiness of coffee generated 30.7 billion reais of income and 695 thousand direct and indirect jobs, with average wages that varied between 5,000 (agricultural sector) and 33 thousand reais (trade and services). The service sector was the aggregate with the largest share in the generation of value, with 47% of the gross domestic product (GDP Coffee), and the agricultural production was responsible for 50% jobs. Exports of coffee beans totaled 13.6 billion reais and generated 303 thousand direct and indirect jobs, 11 billion reais in income (GDP), and 729 million reais in net taxes. Exports of processed coffee totaled 1.5 billion reais with the generation of 25 thousand jobs, 1.2 billion reais of income, and 159 million reais of taxes. The approximation of the links in the chain has the potential to increase the product differentiation, adding value, and to generate jobs and income.
