SUMMARY:

Coffee is one of the most important agribusiness crops in Brazil, and harvesting is a crucial stage in the production process. This study aimed to examine the technologies associated with the mechanization of coffee harvesting in the country. The research analyzed patent databases to identify inventions and applicants in this area, as well as studying the sector's evolution over time. As the largest producer, exporter and second largest consumer of coffee in the world, Brazil plays a significant role in the global market, which makes this research relevant. The methodology was based on quantitative research, documentary analysis of patent databases from the National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI) and the international Orbit Intelligence database using keywords and the IPC (International Patents Classification) code. Both nationally and internationally, the results showed that Brazil is a priority country for patent applications in this segment, with Brazilian agricultural machinery companies standing out. However, educational and research institutions had low participation and there were few registrations of computer programs related to coffee harvesting. The sector has been growing since the 2000s, probably due to the expansion of the industry and the development of public policies that favor the innovation environment. This research provides input for agricultural machinery Research & Development (R&D) organizations, whether in developing new technologies, identifying commercial partners or transferring technology.
