Comparison of Multifactor Evaluation and Fuzzy AHP on Coffee Bean Quality

Abstract

The development of information technology in the agricultural sector is crucial, including in determining coffee bean quality. This research implements a comparison of decision support systems (DSS) using the Multifactor Evaluation Process (MFEP) and Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) methods to assess coffee bean quality based on moisture content, Trase, defects, color, aroma, and bean size. The results show that FAHP has an accuracy of 77%, higher than MFEP with an accuracy of 71%. Thus, FAHP is more effective in determining the farmers with the best coffee beans, thereby helping to improve the economic well-being of farmers and cooperatives.
