Variability of Coffee Production in El Salvador and its Possible Relationship with the Space Weather

Abstract

The objective of this study is aimed at showing the possible relationship between the variability of Solar Activity and the behavior of coffee production during 40 years (1980 - 2019) in El Salvador from the database provided by the Salvadoran Council of the Coffee (www.csc.gob.sv), consisting of the volumes of the grain accumulated annually. At the same time, the causal relationship with the rainfall regime in the region is analyzed. The research was developed within the framework of the collaboration of the Ibero-American Society for Bioeconomy and Climate Change and the Ibero-American Network of the same name and inspired by previous work carried out by researchers who are members of said Society in recent years related to this topic. The results are shown and the possibility of the causal association is evaluated.
