SUSTAINABLE VALUE CHAIN ISSUES, INSECT TRAPS AND SOLUTIONS FOR COFFEE BERRY BORER IN THE NORTH OF VIETNAM

In the world and including Vietnam, scientists has thought of using traps, alcohol traps to reduce generations of insects, reduce female insects that are harmful. There are some factors that influence traps for example: wind direction, climate, etc.

The reason for scientists to limit chemical pesticides and move to other methods to eliminate coffee berry borer is that chemicals will be harmful for coffee products, for farmers and for consumers. That’s why we present and compare traditional and new approaches to monitor CBB and traps to reduce CBB generation.

This study was conducted not only to assess the CBB infestation, but also propose solutions to eliminate CBB generations well. We find out that less damages when we process CBB with alcohol traps and use Beauveria bassiana to control CBB, compared to chemical pesticides. We also perform analysis on agriculture sustainable value chain in order to propose suitable solutions for coffee crops and for farmers to have more benefits sustainably.
