Abstract

The objective of this study was to identify what are the resources that explain the variation in the
performance of coffee farms in the state of Minas Gerais, using four variables to represent the
performance: two measures of economic efficiency, profitability index, and other profitability index. The economic efficiencies were obtained by stochastic frontier and data envelopment analysis (DEA)
methods, considering information on the crops 2009/2010 and 2010/2011. Also, the grouping of producers according performance was based on cluster analysis and resources that explain performance were identified by logistic regression. Of the 97 analyzed properties, it was found
that 55 were classified as major performance properties. . In addition, the results indicated that productivity increases, better selling prices, increasing the degree of mechanization, labor productivity
control and the altitude can increase the chances of a farm be classified in higher performance group.
