PROVINCE OF MOUNTAIN PROVINCE Bontoc, Mountain Province
PROVINCIAL COMMODITY INVESTMENT PLAN
FOR COFFEE IN MOUNTAIN PROVINCE
PROVINCIAL COMMODITY INVESTMENT PLAN FOR COFFEE IN MOUNTAIN PROVINCE
I. Development Background/Context
Mountain Province is an upland area in the Cordillera
Administrative Region with temperate climate, 83 percent of its
land area having mountainous topography and the remaining 17
percent is rolling to flat terrain. With its mountainous terrain and
temperate climate, it is suitable for highland vegetables (cabbage,
white potato, carrots, sweet peas, cauliflower/broccoli, etc) and
agro-forestry production (Arabica coffee, citrus, etc) traditional and
improved rice varieties in the eastern part of the province. It has
also potentials for hydro power generation, mining, and eco-
tourism development. However, despite these resource potentials,
the province still remains poor as indicated by its poverty incidence
of 47.1 percent in CY 2012. Unemployment rate was also high at
49.0 percent in the same period. This poverty condition could be
traced to the slow pace of economic development in the province
resulting from untapped and/or undeveloped natural resources,
low agricultural productivity coupled with the inaccessibility
problem and remote condition of the area also aggravated by
climate change.
In the agriculture and agri-business sector, most farmers are living
at subsistence level despite the province’s resource potentials.
These farmers are composed of indigenous peoples namely: the
Aplai and Kankanaey tribes of the western municipalities, the
Bontoks of the central towns and Baliwons of the Eastern
municipalities with farming as their major source of
income/livelihood. As identified in the Value Chain Analysis of the
commodities including coffee produced in the province, the
problem confronting most farmers is low crop productivity due to
the following:
(1) High production cost of commodities viz-a-viz low market
prices; (2) Lack/ inadequate production support facilities, such as
the poor road conditions that limit access to production areas
which in effect increase the costs of inputs and hauling cost of
harvest to market; (3) Continuing soil fertility depletion as a result
of continuous use of inorganic fertilizers and topsoil erosion due to
the mountainous terrain; (4) Lack of cooperation/will among the
farmers themselves to institute crop zoning/plantation in order to
stabilize supply and prices of commodities; (5) the lack of post-
harvest, processing, marketing facilities results to crop
losses/spoilage affecting the price and quality of produce. Given
these issues and concerns besetting the farming households,
more farmers are now shifting to work elsewhere such as the local
mines within and outside the province.
II. Development Vision and Framework of the Province The Provincial Development Physical Framework Plan of Mountain
Province envisions “An economically able, healthy and educated
citizenry living in a peaceful orderly and ecologically balanced
environment”.
Aligned with the national and regional development goals, the
provincial development plan aims to reduce poverty, enhance
economic prosperity and environmental management within the
context of balanced and sustainable development. Thus, its
strategic direction is anchored on developing the province’s
comparative advantages and resource potentials for agro-forestry
and highland vegetable production, eco-cultural tourism, mini
hydro power production, and provision of adequate infrastructures
and facilities.
In the agricultural and agribusiness sector, the challenge is to
increase income of farmers through increased market and profit
share of the identified commodities and make Mountain Province
the major producer of quality agro forestry crops (coffee and citrus
fruits) and highland vegetables (cabbage, carrots, potatoes, etc.)
including traditional rice. With the Value Chain approach, and
through PRDP, it hopes to address the issues and concerns
identified per chain or segment of identified commodities with
appropriate interventions from production, processing, marketing
and institutional concerns.
For the Arabica Coffee Industry in Mountain Province, it expects to
accelerate crop productivity, increase production and ensure that
each player of the segment share from coffee earnings/income
through appropriate interventions. The project would likewise
enhance public-private partnership in ensuring that each player of
the segment share from the income derived from the coffee
industry.
III. Priority Commodity Chains Development 1. Commodity Value Chain for Coffee
A. Commodity Profile TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The Philippines Recommends on Coffee Production says that
coffee is a beverage crop that grows well at elevations 600 to
2,000 meters above sea level depending on the variety. There
are four (4) commercially cultivated in the Philippines, namely:
Arabica, Liberica, Robusta, and Excelsa.
The Department of Agriculture Regional Field Unit– Cordillera
Region (DARFU_CAR) also documented that the four major
coffee varieties grows well in the region with Robusta variety
registering the highest yield per hectare of 5,117 metric tons
(MT) per year (2008). Arabica coffee variety on the other hand
offers the best quality because of the excellent flavor and aroma
and is also best suited in the highland provinces of the region;
in Benguet, Mountain Province, Ifugao and Kalinga. It is fast
growing and bears fruit within 2 to 3 years after transplanting a
one-year old seedling with an average yield of 536 metric tons
per hectare per year (2008).
Similarly, all the four major coffee varieties are grown in
Mountain Province where Arabica coffee variety is the most
cultivated in the medium to high elevations while the other
varieties: robusta, liberica and excelsa are grown in the
backyards in the low lying areas. The table below shows the
coffee production in Mountain Province.

Data Source: OPAG, Mountain Province
Coffee berries are harvested only once a year from
December to March for all the four varieties being planted.
Lean supply months are from April to November.
The total number of coffee bearing trees is 94,311 with an
average yield of 1.3 kilograms per tree per year while there
are 193,760 non-bearing trees which are expected to bear
fruits after three to four years from now, as reported by the
Office of the Provincial Agriculturist in Mountain Province.
UTILIZATION AND CONSUMPTION As coffee is widely grown in the country, it is traded in
various forms like fresh berries, parchment beans, dried
green beans, roasted whole beans and ground coffee by
organized farmers and individual coffee growers
consolidated by private coffee processors.
Buyers and processors consider moisture content (usually
14%) and purity (no broken beans and foreign matters
included) as the primary qualities of a good traded coffee
bean, however, some private roasters say that there is no
such 1st class and second class coffee beans but depends
on the roasting procedures by processors.
The proliferation of coffee shops all over the country to
include foreign investors like the Starbucks, which is the first
international coffee chain to penetrate the Philippine market,
the Figaro Coffee company, the largest domestic coffee shop
(30 outlets), two in Baguio City (CAR) and one in Davao City,
thus big demand for coffee beans. Local processors and
coffee shops also sprouted like mushrooms in Mountain
Province including the indigenous Alamid Coffee that sells up
to PhP200.00 per cup in the tourist destinations within the
province. These serve as the established markets for the
locally grown and processed coffee products in Mountain
Province. Markets outside the province that comprise more
or less 30% of the total production goes to Kalinga, Ifugao,
Baguio City and Benguet province and in Metro Manila
markets (DTI VCA).
The Philippines imports around 75,000 MT to 100,000 MT of
coffee annually from Vietnam and Indonesia (data from The
Philippine Star, Oct. 30, 2013) at a cost between P7-10
Billion. Experts report that there is a need for all stakeholders
to support the expansion of coffee plantation to 60,000
hectares to meet the demand for coffee.
B. Investment Plan
The Value Chain Analysis as a tool in identifying appropriate
interventions to improve if not to give solutions to underlying
issues and problems in agricultural development in the
province,strengthen proper utilization of meager
development funds of a 4th class province. It also pursues a
commodity-based approach to holistically analyze the
requirements of certain commodities and industries such as
economic viability and sustainability and generally promotes
public and private partnership towards self reliant
commodity-based industries.
The priority commodities identified for Mountain Province like
coffee, highland vegetables such as bellpepper, carrot, white
potato, cabbage, lettuce (protected cultivation) and
traditional rice production will be enhance through the
Philippine Rural Development Program (PRDP) through the
provision of technical, financial and infrastructure support
services to address the issues and concerns besetting the
industries in the province; and thereby increasing value-
added incomes and opportunities that are equally benefiting
producers, traders and consumers. There will be an equal
distribution of the benefits derived from value-adding as
identified in the Value Chain Analysis of the Coffee Industry
in the province.
