Abstract

This work aims to describe the behavior of coffee culture in the micro region of Varginha - MG between the years 2008 to 2018. Such an approach is justified by Minas Gerais being the largest coffee producing region in Brazil, and the micro-region studied has cities that are among the largest Brazilian producers. In this way, the main objective of the work is to verify the behavior of the variables related to coffee culture in the 16 cities belonging to the microregion. In order to achieve these purposes, a bibliographic research on the topic will be carried out, as well as a quantitative research using secondary data extracted from official government sources and coffee institutes, with the researched area of production, production, productivity, employment of coffee worker, wages and exports, between 2008 and 2018. For interpretations and conclusions, descriptive analyzes and crosses between variables were performed. The result of the research shows that despite the decrease in production area and the low growth of labor in this culture, productivity increased significantly, in addition to showing a decrease in exports, contrary to Douglas North's basic export theory, in the quest for improvement in development regional.
