Philippines coffee production decreased in 2022-2023 due to climate challenges and limited access to better varieties.

The Philippines’ overall coffee market is projected to increase at 8.22% annually from 2023 to 2028.

The Philippines is a net importer of coffee, despite producing robusta, liberica, arabica, and excelsa.

Secondary products derived from a coconut, such as husks, oil, shell, leaves, wood, sticks, and flowers.

Different types of coffee beans, such as robusta, liberica, arabica, and excelsa, produced in the Philippines.

Arabica coffee plants prefer elevations of 1,000 meters (3,280 feet).

Robusta coffee can grow at lower elevations, from 200 meters (656 feet) to 800 meters (2,625 feet).

Coffee prefers slightly acidic soil with a pH of 5.2 to 6.3.

Slightly acidic soil allows higher nutrient availability (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium).

Loamy soil is good for coffee due to its drainage and nutrient retention.

Liberica coffee beans are larger than Arabica and Robusta, with a teardrop shape and unique floral/fruity aroma.

The Philippines grows Arabica, Robusta, Excelsa, and Liberica coffee.

Coffee was introduced to the Philippines by Spanish colonizers.

The Philippines produces significant amounts of Arabica, Liberica, Excelsa, and Robusta coffee, with Cordillera, Batangas, Quezon, and Davao/Cavite contributing substantially.

Arabica coffee is grown with pine and alder trees to provide shade in drier regions for better growth.
