The research is expected to be completed by the end of April.

With the exception of Paraná, all the states mentioned will carry out the research in person with visits to rural properties, cooperatives and other partner entities. In the case of São Paulo, the second largest producer of Arabica coffee in the country, cooperatives and entities linked to coffee cultivation will be visited, mainly in the regions of Franca, São João da Boa Vista, Espírito Santo do Pinhal, Garça, Marília, Tupã, Pirajú and Jaú . Fieldwork in the state of São Paulo takes place between April 11th and 23rd.
