In order to make a preliminary assessment of the current problem surrounding coffee production in the state of Guerrero, information obtained from interviews in 2019 with producers from the municipalities of San Luis Acatlán, Chilpancingo de los Bravos, Chilapa de Álvarez and Atoyac de Álvarez was organized to recognize, through Checkland’s soft systems methodology (SSM), processes and strategies that can strengthen the coffee production chain in the state. The results show that coffee production in Guerrero has decreased by almost half in the last 18 years, affecting more than 20 thousand producers in the region. The causes and consequences are megadiverse, including disinterest of government agencies, lack of public policies, lack of technology and programs to combat phytosanitary problems. It is identified that these problems intensify and change as the time and spatial scale is analyzed. The major interest that arises from coffee producers in Guerrero is to transmit to the new generations the respect and use of the crop.
