Abstract:
Coffee is one of the most important commercial crops in the world. Karnataka is one of the major coffee-producing states in India, home to coffee-growing regions like Chikkamagaluru, Kodagu, and Hassan. Coffee planters confront a variety of difficulties when trying to produce and yield coffee. It prompts the researcher to investigate issues with coffee production and yield and to suggest suitable solutions. Making the right choices requires analysis of the coffee-producing region, its productivity, and its production. The research was conducted using coffee time series data obtained from the Coffee Board of India, Bengaluru, for a period of 25 years, from 1995–1996 to 2019–2020. Linear (Linear, Cubic) and nonlinear (Exponential, Logistic, and Gompertz) growth models were used to examine the data. For area under coffee in Hassan district, cubic model was found to be best fitted model. Exponential model was best-fitted for production and productivity of coffee in Hassan district. Results by the present study revealed that the area under coffee in Hassan district have an upward trend and productivity of coffee in Hassan have a downward trend over the study period. Finally, the best fitted models are used forecasting.
