DAVAO CITY – A local cooperative hopes to help coffee farmers here as it opened on Wednesday “The Library Café by Co-op Cups,” a coffee shop bannering specialty beans grown on the foothills of Mount Apo.
“There is a market prepared for them. They can have a better price as long as they can produce quality coffee,” he said. He said the establishment initially serves coffee from the award-winning Arabica coffee producer, Balutakay Coffee Farmers’ Association , of Bansalan in Davao del Sur, but they are also sourcing beans from other regions of Mindanao.
“We are planting coffee, and we would like to have a value chain for coffee. That’s why we opted to put up a coffee shop. It’s such a big thing to have opened a coffee shop because we can now give a good price for the farmers. It’s good that we can supply. The farmers’ produce will be processed by the Coffee Cups,” he said.
