Abstract

A comparison among 26 innovative and 135 traditional coffee growers indicated that innovators had more schooling, larger farms, bigger coffee plantings, and utilized recommendations more fully and followed them more closely than traditional farmers. Consequently, farmers using recommended high-output practices obtained an average yield of 1278 kg/ha and a net profit of $1590.88/ha, while traditional farmers produced 275 kg/ha, with a net loss of $738.48.
