Coffee Industry Profile
Coffee has been a valuable segment of the Philippine economy.Ā The Philippines became the 4th largest exporter of coffee in 1880, but coffee leaf rust destroyed the farms in 1894.Ā Ā
The Philippines is one of the few countries that can produce the four types of coffee:Ā Robusta, Arabica, Liberica (Barako), and Excelsa.Ā Arabica is the flavor variety and is mostly used as premium or gourmet coffee; Robusta is used as a blender to Arabica as well as in instant coffee.Ā Liberica or Kapeng Barako has rich and intense taste and is best served black.Ā The most common type is Robusta, which accounts for about 70 percent of total coffee production.Ā Coffee is sold as green, roasted, or ground beans, and as soluble instant coffee.
The proliferation of local and foreign coffee stores (e.g. Starbucks, Figaro, etc.) and brands (e.g. Nestle, Cafe Amadeo, etc.) is a strong indication of its rising demand in the marketplace. However, failure to meet this growing demand is a problem within the industry, especially with a 0.2% annual decline in coffee volume over the past 10 years (PSA, 2018).
According to Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), national production of 60,640.95 metric tons (MT) dried cherries in 2020 was not even enough to supply local demand, which was estimated at 198,720 MT.Ā The country imports coffee to meet local demand.Ā Average productivity in 2021 is 0.54 MT dried cherries/ha.
Problems in the Industry
The development of the industry is hampered by insufficient quality planting materials (high yielding) for expansion and replanting areas, low yield, and low quality beans.Ā Low yield is due to:Ā mismatch between the variety planted and environmental conditions, limited information on nutrient and water status, and occurrence of pests. Rising temperature due to climate change also threatens the industry as it might reduce the areas suitable for coffee growing, bring drought, increase the range of diseases and kill insects that pollinate coffee plants.

Bill | House Bill No. 10915 | 2024 | 19th | An Act Establishing A System For Certifying Single Origin Coffee Produced In The Philippines And For Other Purposes | Coffee cultivation in the Philippines began in the late 18th century, introduced by Spanish missionaries. Over time, Filipino farmers adapted their practices to diverse climatic conditions, leading to the development of a rich coffee tradition. By the 19th and early 20th centuries, the Philippines had become a prominent global coffee producer. However, challenges such as coffee rust disease and increasing international competition led to a decline in production. Recently, there has been a renewed focus on specialty coffee, sparking interest in local coffee varieties. | This bill aims to establish a certification system for single origin coffee produced in the Philippines. Single origin coffee, which is sourced from a specific location, offers unique flavors linked to the region’s environmental conditions. This concept is central to the specialty coffee industry, where traceability and quality are highly valued. Studies indicate that single origin coffees can achieve market premiums due to their distinctive taste and authenticity. For instance, research published in the Journal of Coffee Research shows that single origin coffees can command premiums of up to 30% over blended coffees. | https://docs.congress.hrep.online/legisdocs/basic_19/HB10915.pdf | Coffee | Null | Jeff | 11/22/2024 | C:\Users\trist\Documents\Formatting\Output\Coffee_2024-11-22_processed.xlsx | |
Bill | House Bill No. 9928 | 2024 | 19th | An Act Establishing A National Program For The Development Of The Philippine Coffee Industry, Creating For The Purpose The Philippine Coffee Council, And Appropriating Funds Therefor | The Philippine coffee industry holds immense potential for economic growth, social development, and environmental sustainability. Coffee has been an integral part of Philippine culture and history for centuries. However, the development of the industry has faced significant obstacles, such as but not limited to, limited access to markets and technology. By employing a whole-of-government approach, this measure seeks to unlock the full potential of the Philippine coffee industry. By doing so, the Philippine coffee industry will transform itself into a significant player in both the domestic and internationaL markets. More importantly, this will allow the Philippines to showcase the historical and cultural relevance and contribution of coffee to Filipino life. | This bill aims to achieve the following objectives: a. To fomulate strategies and craft action plans, following the value and supply chains analysis from farm to market that will provide direction for an enhanced and sustainable growth of the Philippine coffee industry; b. To integrate and harmonize programs, projects, and activities of government agencies and the private sector supportive of the short, medium and long-term agenda of the coffee industry; c. To promote Philippine coffee in the local market and in the international market; d. To uplift the welfare and increase the income of the country’s smallholder coffee farmers, producers, processors, roasters, and retailers including their dependent families and thereby attain the goal of inclusive growth; e. To create a proactive and responsive national implementing arm that will ensure and monitor the focused development of the coffee industry guided by the Philippine Coffee Industry Roadmap and subsequent program extension and development plans involving the coffee industry; and f. To harness and enhance existing participatory mechanisms to ensure full engagement of various stakeholders in the development of the coffee industry. | null | Coffee | Null | Jeff | 11/22/2024 | C:\Users\trist\Documents\Formatting\Output\Coffee_2024-11-22_processed.xlsx | |
Bill | House Bill No. 9830 | 2024 | 19th | An Act Creating The National Coffee Development Authority For The Modernization Of The Philippine Coffee Industry And Appropriating Funds Therefor | The Philippines used to be a top exporter of coffee, but through the years this has changed for lack of comprehensive and viable plan and actions, as well as minimum support from concerned government agencies. Local coffee production is decreasing by 3.5% per year over the past 10 years, when the Philippine’s consumption from 2018-2020 increased by 2.1.%. In 2015, the Philippines occupy the 30th slot among coffee producers in the world, but further slid to the 34th slot in 2020. The production value of coffee in the Philippines from 2012-2022 (in billions of Philippine pesos) amounted to the following: In 2022, the value of coffee produced in the Philippines amounted to around Php 3.37 billion, indicating an increase from the previous year. In the same year, the total coffee consumed by Filipinos amounted to 3.31 million 60-million-kilogram bags. Percent share in area planted to coffee by region (2020) was 113, 264.89 has. The top five regions with the biggest planting area for coffee in the last five years ago are as follows: SOCCSKARGEN, 27,010.25 ha; Davao Region,15, 881, 29 ha; ARMM,13, 976,ha; CALABARZON,13,196 ha.; and Northern Mindanao,11, 639.41 ha. There is a need to focus on the production andmodernization of the Coffee Industry in the Philippines if the country is to increase its production and be able to be globally competitive . For this reason, this presentation proposes the Creation of the National Coffee Development Authority that will, among others, promote the coffee industry in order to address not only the shortage of domestic coffee supply but be able to create a niche in the worldwide market for high value cash crop. | This bill seeks to promote and enhance the production of the coffee industry in the country with the aim of having an import-substitution to export substitution of coffee in the global market. Approximately 81% of all coffee requirements in the Philippines is imported. | null | Coffee | Null | Jeff | 11/22/2024 | C:\Users\trist\Documents\Formatting\Output\Coffee_2024-11-22_processed.xlsx | |
Bill | House Bill No. 9340 | 2023 | 19th | An Act Developing The Coffee Industry Of The Philippines And Creating The Coffee Industry Advancement And Research Center And Declaring The Province Of Sultan Kudarat As The Coffee Capital Of The Philippines | Notably, the Philippines, with a rich history of coffee cultivation, continues to be a key player in the global coffee landscape. In 2021, SOCCSKSARGEN, with its substantial coffee production, played a crucial role. It produced 21,007.41 metric tons of dried cherries (MT DC) and 10,503.71 metric tons of green coffee beans (MT GCB), 35.60 percent of the entire country’s coffee production. Sultan Kudarat alone provided 18,044.46 MT DC and 9,022.23 MT GCB, 85.90 percent of the region and is the highest coffee producing province in the country. Through extensive research and development, the center will also focus on post-harvest technologies, pest management, and other critical areas of coffee cultivation. It will facilitate the transfer of knowledge, technical training programs, and collaboration among stakeholders to foster innovation and best practices in coffee production. | This bill seeks to revitalize and strengthen the Philippines’ coffee industry. It recognizes the importance of research, development, and innovation in sustaining a vibrant coffee culture and generating economic opportunities for coffee farmers and stakeholders. | null | Coffee | Null | Jeff | 11/22/2024 | C:\Users\trist\Documents\Formatting\Output\Coffee_2024-11-22_processed.xlsx | |
Bill | House Bill No. 3552 | 2022 | 19th | An Act Establishing A National Program For The Coffee Industry Providing Funds Therefor And For Other Purposes | We are a nation of coffee drinkers. It is an undeniable fact that coffee has become a staple beverage among Fillpinos. From consumer drinks from your favourite coffee shop chain, to high-class brews from specialty stores, to 3-in-1 coffee mixes sold by the packet ā the demand for coffee bisects the class divide and coffee drinkers come from all over the economic spectrum. In a research study from Kantar Woridpanel Philippines, a company specializing in consumer knowledge and insights based on continuous consumer panels, it was found out that Filipinos shifted from being moderate to heavy coffee drinkers. Filipinos are buying coffee products close to twice a week, or about 81 times a year, spending an average of P22 per shopping trip. Heavy coffee buyers, on the other hand, buy close to thrice a week, or 126 times in a year, spending an average of P28 per shopping trip. Tracking the shopping behavior of 3,000 households across the country from June 2014 to June 2015, it was discovered that 30% of beverage allowance is spent on coffee. For being a nation filled with coffee drinkers, it is saddening to know that the local coffee industry, from coffee growers, processors and traders, is in such a sorry state. The Philippines produces around 30,000 metric tons of coffee per year but local demand is for 100,000 metric tons. Local supply cannot fulfill local demand that we have to import coffee just to meet it. Our coffee production ranks us 110th in the world in terms of output. For comparison, our South East Asian neighbor, Vietnam, ranks 2nd. The last time the Philippines was a leader in the coffee industry was when we were still under Spanish control ā we were the 4″ biggest exporter of coffee beans in 1880. | This bill seeks to revitalize our coffee industry, especially when it comes to export, by creating the National Coffee Board that will take charge of developing programs and instituting industry-wide improvements that would benefit farmers, processors, traders, consumers, and other industry partners. | https://docs.congress.hrep.online/legisdocs/basic_19/HB03552.pdf | Coffee | Null | Jeff | 11/22/2024 | C:\Users\trist\Documents\Formatting\Output\Coffee_2024-11-22_processed.xlsx | |
Bill | House Bill No. 1796 | 2022 | 19th | An Act Establishing A National Program For The Coffee Industry Providing Funds Therefor And For Other Purposes | Being situated in the “Coffee Belt”āor a band around the equator that is optimal for production of coffeeāthe Philippines is one of the world’s biggest coffee exporters. However, market conditions over time changed when output decreased since the early 2000s despite the increasing demand for the product. Coffee is one of the most valuable commodities in the world and a cultural phenomenon that has created a USD 100 Billion industry. As it is only cultivated in the Coffee Belt, this makes it one of the most sought-after industries, especially for coffee-producing developing countries. However, our local farmers are only able to produce 25,000 MT annually while demand is more than 75,000 MT. As a result, the country imports from neighboring countries such as Vietnam and Indonesia in order to meet demand that current supply cannot fulfill. Nonetheless, the government recognized the country’s opportunity to be a key player in the coffee industry and has taken actions on supporting this. Coffee is currently one of the priority sectors identified for development in the country, prompting the creation of the Philippine Coffee Industry Roadmap by the Department of Trade and Industry. | This bill aims to support the current efforts being undertaken to boost the Philippine Coffee Industry through the establishment of a National Program for the Coffee Industry with the goals of developing processing technologies, conducting research thereof, and promoting to investors. It also aims to help coffee farms by establishing proper coffee processing facilities and providing marketing and promotions for export of the commodity. This creation of a National Coffee Board will help supervise and monitor development of the Philippine Coffee Industry and help it become a world-class commodity. | https://docs.congress.hrep.online/legisdocs/basic_19/HB01796.pdf | Coffee | Null | Jeff | 11/22/2024 | C:\Users\trist\Documents\Formatting\Output\Coffee_2024-11-22_processed.xlsx | |

Competitiveness of Philippine Robusta Coffee Industry under the ASEAN Economic
Producing coffee in the Philippines was found to be competitive under the import substitution scenario wherein producing domestically is cheaper than importing. This implies that the Philippines should focus on improving its domestic production of coffee. Based on the results, coffee yield (0.636 mt/ha) should not go down by 14% in order to maintain its import competitiveness. Results also revealed that to attain export competitiveness, yield must go up by 34% or domestic cost must decrease by 38%.

Coop for a Cup: Role of Cooperatives in Coffee Technology Adoption
As a labor-intensive country, one of the major driving forces of Philippine agricultural development is technology. Aside from cost reduction, technology enables farmers to enhance the quality of their produce, discover effective and efficient farming techniques, and ultimately address the risks and challenges inherent in agriculture. The success of a technology, however, boils down to its dissemination and adoption at the field level. It is important to recognize that technology is deemed useless if farmers will not adopt it, which is why understanding a farmerās behavior, particularly the factors affecting their decision to adopt a certain technology, is crucial.
In 2017, PCAARRD funded a program titled, āRole of Cooperatives in Technology Adoption for Improved Production and Market Efficiency in Dairy Buffalo and Coffeeā. Dr. Agham Cuevas from the University of the Philippines Los BaƱos led this initiative to determine how cooperatives and other rural/community-based organizations (RBOs) affect technology adoption, and production and marketing efficiency, assess their effectiveness as platforms for innovation and technology transfer in the rural areas, and provide specific recommendations on how cooperatives/RBOs can enhance technology adoption.
Impact of Coop Membership in Technology Adoption and Production and Marketing Efficiency
The study showed that cooperatives/RBOs play an important role in stimulating the adoption of technology for the enhancement of production and marketing efficiencies. In fact, studies have shown that collectively, small-holder producers share information, pool resources, and distribute costs and risks among themselves to improve yield and productivity, which would not be possible if the smallholder farmer is working alone.
Among 380 respondents, 58 percent is a member of a cooperative/RBO. Findings show that members have a greater tendency to adopt technologies (52%) relative to non-members (40%). Farmers attribute this to the prioritization of cooperative members in the provision of agricultural inputs and technical services, attendance in various training, and linkages with other stakeholders. These provisions give members greater information, resources, and support.Ā Likewise, membership was also found to significantly affect a farmerās ability to maximize their output given a level of inputs (technical efficiency). This suggests that cooperative members are more productive than those who are not. It was also highlighted that members have greater marketing efficiency thanks to better selling prices, greater access to buyers, and better processing activities.
Institutional constraints
Cooperatives/RBOs identified the following institutional constraints which affect the performance of their industries:
Lack of information/Poor access to technologies
Inadequate equipment/facilities
High input and transportation costs
Poor access to credit
Limited market access
Challenges and Recommendations
Although cooperatives serve as instruments in both industries, they are still confronted with issues such as membership delinquency, lack of participation among members, poor planning, and lack and/or mismanagement of resources. Hence, policy incentives to form and join cooperatives must be provided and associations must be strengthened through management and developmental seminars for its members. Further, greater public investment is warranted for technology diffusion, enterprise development, and establishment of facilities and processing centers near the farmers.
