Abstract:

Coffee has brought income for many households and significantly contributes to annual GDP growth of the Dak Lak province. The majority of households have said that water sources, soil quality, coffee caring techniques, capital, and cultivation experience are important for the sustainable development of coffee production [Table A1]. We used linear function and Cobb-Douglas functional form to analyze the factors affecting the sustainable development of coffee. The production has shown that capital, labor, and land are important factors contributing to improving coffee productivity. The impact assessments of certain factors, such as agricultural equipment, knowledge of farmers, and the investment of capital, are essential for researching sustainable coffee development. Furthermore, the research results will provide some useful information for those working in the agricultural sector management, the agricultural extension center, and the coffee-growing households in investing, planning and development of Dak Lak coffee to reach high yielding, stable and more efficient in the future.
