Agriculture / coffee production | | Spanish term or phrase: caficultura joven | | Uno de los principales aspectos que reflejan la buena administración de los cultivos por parte de los productores, es el mantenimiento de una caficultura joven que, entre otros factores, determina la producción, la productividad y la competitividad del cultivo. La caficultura de Caldas ha sobresalido a nivel nacional debido a que la renovación de cafetales (programa bandera de la institucionalidad cafetera) se ha consolidado como una práctica anual de los caficultores en el manejo de sus predios, garantizando el mantenimiento de una caficultura joven y tecnificada, componente fundamental para una mayor productividad a nivel de finca |

"la renovación de cafetales" which comes further down in the context refers to rejuvenation programmes in order to maintain this low age profile. Ref.:
Coffee plantation renewal programs: Key instruments for the Colombian coffee sector
The Competitiveness Program started in 1998, aimed toward maintaining technified plantations in optimal productivity
• The targets of this program are all coffee plantations of more
than 5 years old, located in ideal production areas for the crop.
• Each plantation must renew at least 400 trees per year.
