Coffee is cultivated in more than 56 countries, being of great economic importance for countries in Africa, Latin America and Asia. Its high economic value, environmental importance and social value have made coffee production a very important agricultural activity, which is why the objective is to characterize the social and economic aspects of coffee producers in the canton of Zaruma, province of El Oro. For this purpose, a descriptive and transversal methodological design was proposed, and the sample surveyed corresponded to the 42 coffee producers. The main results are: 90% of the coffee plantations are of the Arabica variety, 53.33% of the producers have from 1 to 5 hectares in their property, 40% from 6 to 10 hectares and 6.67% have more than one hectare to work with; 37% of the coffee producers harvest more than 1200 kg per year, 27% go from 800 to 1100 kg, however, 23% go from 400 to 700 kg, while 13% go from 100 to 300 kg. It has the advantage that they are all associates and sell their production to the collection center of Zaruma's coffee producers.
