-
In recent years, technology applied to coffee cultivation has begun to play a more prominent role in the academic sphere, becoming a subject of growing interest for researchers from various regions. This scientometric review focused on examining 291 studies published between 2004 and 2024, sourced from the Scopus and Web of Science databases, with the aim of understanding how scientific knowledge has evolved regarding the incorporation of technology into coffee farming. One of the most notable findings is the dominance of Brazil, both in terms of publication volume and its impact as reflected in citations. In contrast, Colombia—despite its strong coffee-growing tradition—shows very limited scientific participation. The study also identifies a rise in academic output starting in 2019, which appears to coincide with the adoption of tools such as precision agriculture, the use of sensors, and automation to optimize harvesting and post-harvest processing. These findings offer a clear perspective on research gaps and opportunities for countries with a coffee-growing tradition to strengthen their technological development and innovation.
