Tóm tắt
Coffee and pepper are key crops generating income and employment for farmers in the Central Highlands. The intercropping of the two crops has been practiced recently by farmers and this has initially shown to be a good production system. The study was designed to evaluate the economic performance of coffee and pepper intercropping in Quang Hiep commune, CuMgar district, Dak Lak province, and propose key recommendations to improve the economic performance of the system. In-depth interviews with 50 farm households were conducted, and evaluated using descriptive and comparative statistics. The results show that the average area of intercropping is estimated at about 1.5 ha/ farm household. On average, a hectare of intercropping produces 2.76 tons of coffee and 1.51 tons of pepper, generating an income of about 203 million VND/ha for households during the crop season 2014 - 2015. The system proved to be more economically efficient than the mono-system. Economic performance of the intercropping system was found to be different between households and depended on the production scale, irrigation status, seed quality, gender, ethnicity, and farmers’ technical know-how. The production system now faces other obstacles, such as crop diseases and pests, changing weather, input and output market, and market information. Key recommendations to improve economic performance of coffee-pepper intercropping in Quang Hiep commune are proposed accordingly.
