BACOFA EXPORTS FIRST BATCH OF GREEN COFFEE TO THE U.S.A.

The representatives of Mount Apo coffee farmers are delivering two tons of their fresh, hand-picked coffee cherries. 20 October 2014. Coffee For Peace Processing Yard, Davao City.

Our Mount Apo farming partners are one of the community-network of well-trained and justly-treated farmers who supply us with their premium 100% arabica coffee paid at fair traded prices.

We’re so happy to see the Balutakay Coffee Farmers Association (BaCoFA) from Mt. Apo grow from being coffee cherry suppliers, to becoming post-harvest coffee processors, and now they have become green coffee bean exporters.

BaCoFA grew from 15 families to 75 farming households in 4 years.

These coffee sacks are their initial export quality products. And they are determined to produce more! These BaCoFA folks are indeed developing into being effective, self-sustaining “farmerpreneurs”.
