Coffee production is highly vulnerable to pests, making Integrated Pest Management (IPM) vital for sustainable cultivation. This study presents the first bibliometric and ecological synthesis of coffee IPM, analyzing 655 Scopus publications from 1977–2024. Annual output grew 8.68%, with rapid expansion after 2000, reflecting rising global focus on sustainable pest control. Research is dominated by Brazil, the USA, and Mexico, with contributions from Indonesia, Colombia, and Europe, supported by 33.74% international co-authorship. Influential scholars (e.g., Perfecto I., Vandermeer J.) and journals such as Biological Control and Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment have structured the field. Thematic focus has shifted from pest specific studies (e.g., Ceratitis capitata) toward biological control and ecosystem based strategies. Key natural enemies include Hymenoptera, entomopathogenic fungi (Beauveria bassiana), and predatory mites. Pollination services are now recognized as a critical yet underused ecosystem function, directly enhancing fruit set and yield stability. Persistent gaps remain in species level resolution, field validation, and smallholder adoption. Emerging tools AI monitoring, climate smart practices, and participatory approaches signal IPM’s role in resilient coffee agroecosystems.
