MANILA - At least P4.2 billion is needed annually to implement the updated Philippine Coffee Industry Road Map, which targets to boost the country’s coffee self-sufficiency to 47 percent by 2027.
DA-High Value Crops Project Development Officer IV Enrique dela Cruz told the House Committee on Agriculture and Food that the additional funding will be used to provide seedlings, fertilizers and training to coffee farmers associations and cooperatives. The agency proposed a budget of P600 million for next year, but only P84 million was approved by the Department of Budget and Management, according to DA-HVCDP’s Atty. Joycel Panlilio.
“The roadmap, just for this year, 2023, requires for implementation P4.2 billion just for this year and it goes to area expansion expenses, seedlings, fertilization both organic and synthetic and training, mechanization and processing centers,” he added.
