PH-Indonesia partnership to bolster coffee industry – The Manila Times

In a statement, PCBI said 10 Filipino coffee farmers received training grants to expand their knowledge and skills on coffee farming and processing, boost their productivity, and help arrest the declining supply of locally grown coffee in the Philippines.

She said the joint project aims to improve coffee bean production in Benguet, Quezon, Ilocos, Negros, Davao, Bukidnon and Sultan Kudarat. “Through the educational grant, we hope to help reboot the country’s coffee industry by equipping our coffee farmers with the necessary knowledge, skills and mindset to derive the most economic benefit from their produce,” Juan said.

Farmers who qualified for the grant own at least a hectare of land planted with coffee and could produce at least one metric ton of coffee a year.
