Coffee R&D initiatives to empower farmers and prompt increased production

Coffee, which is one of the Philippines’ major commodities, is recording declining production. To address the declining production and meet consumer demand, the country is turning to imports.

However, instead of imports, the country should strive for increased production by empowering farmers with technologies developed from research and development (R&D) initiatives.

This was expressed by Ms. Marita A. Carlos, Director of the Applied Communication Division of the Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST-PCAARRD) during the Coffee Farms and Industry Encounters through the Science and Technology Agenda (FIESTA). Carlos spoke on behalf of PCAARRD’s Acting Executive Director, Dr. Reynaldo V. Ebora.
