"Toward sustainable coffee production in Vietnam: More coffee with less water" focused on the process of growing coffee and the importance of irrigation water to this plant because it is a national aesthetic to Vietnam. Globally, Vietnam is one of the largest coffee producers and exporters, which means the production of coffee beans if very important to their country and their economy. They must need enough amount of water to grow, but the dispersion of irrigation water has to go to other important crops such as cherries in Vietnam. That is why this paper strive to improve the water management options, much so that coffee exports and production can still be huge in Vietnam. By estimating the average amount of water used in coffee production, gross and net income of coffee, and productivity, the paper finds the high times of when rainfall comes to Vietnam, and starts irrigation supply early to break dormancy of other plants and fruit production. The findings of this study showed that there is a potential to reduce irrigation CQU and increase coffee production by inducing water stress, which in return means there needs to be more management of scheduling irrigation. This study is important because coffee is Vietnam's national aesthetic and it wants to be kept as one. With this study, Vietnam will be able to keep their country as one of the biggest coffee producers and exporters.
Question: How important are the other crops that the irrigation water distributes to in comparison to the coffee production?
