Evaluating Integrated Pest Management within Coffee Production Profitability Dynamics in Central Tanzania: A Theoretical Framework

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a holistic approach to pest control in agriculture that seeks to minimise environmental impact while maintaining crop yields and quality. This study will employ a mixed-methods approach, integrating qualitative interviews with quantitative data analysis from existing studies and field observations. The theoretical framework established here provides a robust foundation for future empirical research into the economic impacts of IPM in coffee production. Policy makers should consider supporting farmers with training and resources to implement effective IPM practices, which can lead to sustainable and profitable coffee farming in Central Tanzania.
