Coffea canephora, known as robusta coffee, is an important species in the world coffee industry, valued for its caffeine content and its adaptability to diverse climatic conditions. The Technical University of Cotopaxi - Ecuador through the project “Promotion of Integral Coffee Production in the Province of Cotopaxi” evaluated the production of varieties and clones of robusta coffee (Coffea canephora P) under subtropical conditions in the parish of Guasaganda, province of Cotopaxi - Ecuador in the experimental center Sacha Wiwa. Two experimental lots were established, lot 1 with the varieties Ecorobusta, Napopayamino and Coniolón and lot 2 with the clones COF-06; COF-01; COF-02; EET-375611; NP-2024; NP-3051. Each lot was studied differently, in a randomized complete block design (DBCA) with four replications, for the analysis of means the Tukey's multiple range test was used at 5 % probability. The varieties and clones were evaluated in the rainy and dry seasons of 2022 and 2023. In lot 1, the variety with the highest production was Ecorobusta with 9,121.78, 17,548.39 and 13,979.12 g/plant; in lot 2, the clones that stood out in the dry and rainy seasons were COF-06 with 535.50 and 53,010.00 g/plant and clone EET-375611 with 6,842.50 and 16,071.00 g/plant. These varieties and clones have adapted to the agroclimatic conditions of the area, so it is recommended to disseminate them among farmers.
