Farming activities carried out by female farmers are influenced by outpouring of work time.

The wider the area of farming that is cultivated, the more female laborers are poured out, which indicates the variation and variety of activities and quantity of time spent / labored by female farmers. The lower the economic level of a farmer's household, the greater the amount of time / energy for women to generate family income. In coffee farming, women farmers play a role in the activities of planting, fertilizing, pruning, weeding, harvesting and post-harvesting. The constraints faced by women farmers for increasing coffee productivity are lack of knowledge and skills, physical constraints, lack of access to farmer groups, and no access to cooperatives or financial institutions.
