The adoption of technologies generated for the coffee crop, depends to a great degree on factors such as the availability of resources and the producer´s scholarship which determines the importance of socioeconomic conditions in the coffee productive system structure. The objective of this investigation was to analyze the main coffee grower´s social and economic characteristics in the 220A and 221A Nariño Department ecotopes. 159 producers (86 from the ecotype 220A and 73 from the ecotope 221A), were selected randomly based on a sampling frame of 16.767 coffee farms, with the purpose of applying the survey questionnaire. In the statistical analysis, 58 categorical variables were used, they were subjected to a multivariate analysis using the multiple correspondence method and hierarchical classification analysis. The 220A ecotope was characterized by having coffee areas between 1 and 3 hectares, houses with eternit and zinc roofs, cement floors, electric power, aqueduct and sanitary unit. The performance is between 1.001 and 2.000kg.ha1, the cost of production is less than COP1.500,000 (USD44,83); the coffee growers attend training sessions and their family nucleus is made up of 4 - 7 people. In the ecotope 221A the houses with tile roof, cement floors, electricity, aqueduct and sanitary unit predominate; wastewater is disposed of in septic tanks. Good agricultural practices (GAP) aren’t used, the yields are less than 1.500kg.ha-1 (dried parchment coffee) and the cost of production is less than $1.500.000 ha-1. year-1
