Catalog: Sultan 26 Product Kudarat Products

Southern Gems This is a magazine that highlights the 1st Region 12 Coffee Congress, coffee being one of the gems of Southern Philippines particularly Region 12. More issues are hoped to be produced as we continue to highlight other treasures like Oil Palm, Muscovado, Rubber, Coconut, Banana, Mango, Tuna, Bangus, Craft-tourism and Business Process Outsourcing.

This issue intends to update the coffee stakeholders on the industry situation, the coffee key personalities in Region 12, Investment Costs on Coffee Production or Coffee Value Adding.

The province considered to have the largest coffee plantation in the country, Sultan Kudarat, is also highlighted here. Basic Information as well as the products produced by the entrepreneurs are also included.

With the information included, we hope that coffee investors are properly guided and that people who want to know more about the country’s major supplier of coffee, are informed.

Warmest greetings to the organizers, resource persons, participants, supporters and guests of the 1st Region 12 Coffee Congress.

The coffee industry remains robust and full of potential especially in the export market.

Although production declined by eight percent for the first half of this year vis-Ă -vis 2010 figures, income from coffee exports increased by 14 percent and the of imports declined by 46 percent.

For this, Region 12 has the most potential. The area has more than 13,000 hectares suitable for coffee farming. Moreover, coffee farmers and traders enjoy the support and assistance from the local officials in Region 12, the Department of Agriculture Regional Field Unit 12, the Senator Ninoy Aquino Coffee Industry Development Council, Inc.

We, at the Department of Agriculture, are pleased of the active participation given by stakeholders in the region. Rest assured that we will extend the necessary infrastructure, technical and logistics support to further strengthen the local coffee industry.

Buo ang tiwala ng Kagawaran ng Pagsasaka sa sipag at determinasyon ng mga bumubuo ng industriya ng kape sa Region 12. Sa ating patuloy na pagtutulungan at pakikipagugnayan, mas mapapataas pa natin ang produksyon at kita ng nagtatanim ng kape.

greetings of peace and abundance to each and everyone.

In line with the collective aspiration of the region to uphold a policy on sustainable agriculture and maintain an increasing production in all our primary and secondary produce, I am very happy that the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Trade and Industry, in cooperation with other line agencies, the Local government Units, and with the active involvement of the private sector, has thought of having an activity which would center mainly on sustaining and developing the coffee industry in the region.

Coffee is a very viable industry and is actually one of the major industries in the province of Sultan Kudarat. It has contributed significantly to our local funds and has given employment to a number of our constituents. It is due to the foregoing that the current administration is considering this industry as a very strong stepping stone in our pursuit of a more autonomous and progressive province.

With high hopes that this 1st Regional Coffee Congress will us in improving our production, to the end that the same will increase over the next years, and in sustaining our identity as the top coffee producer of the country, I warmly congratulate you all for giving your time and expertise to make this event possible. This will no less inspire me, and the province I represent, to ensure that the coffee industry will continue to flourish and develop for the benefit, not only of the people of Sultan Kudarat, but of the region as whole.

Thank you and May the Almighty Father reward your noble acts and intentions with abundance and prosperity.

DATU SUHARTO T. MANGUDADATU, AL HAJ Provincial governor

With the aforementioned accolade given to the region, Sultan Kudarat leads all component Local Government Units in terms of area of production of coffee, the fact we accepted the pride and commitment. We have existing institutions already in place within the established production areas, and strong coordination is being sustained with government line agencies and the private sector. Budgetary support is being allocated annually for the operation of our coffee nurseries and all-out advocacy and technical assistance is ably provided to ensure that efforts of farmers will get the benefits out of this very promising economic activity.

As we look forward for the success of the regional Coffee Congress, the whole officialdom of Sultan Kudarat affirms the usual commitment to extend the best we can for all the participants to have enjoyable and convenient stay in the province, Sultan Kudarat, Sikat ka!

2nd District, Province of Sultan Kudarat

I would like to congratulate the Sultan Kudarat Coffee industry Development Council (SK-COINDECO) and Sen. Ninoy Aquino Coffee industry Development Council (SNACOINDECO) and the Provincial government of Sultan Kudarat for holding the 1st Regional Coffee Congress with the Department of Trade and Industry, the Technical Education Skills Development Authority, growth with Equity in Mindanao (gEM).

The theme “Improving Productivity for Better Opportunity” is timely and appropriate.

The holding of this event in the Provincial Capitol of Sultan Kudarat is also significant because Sultan Kudarat is actually the top coffee producing province in the country and this event is a proper forum for us to spread this good news that Sultan Kudarat, Region 12 is a concrete example of a silent but naturally productive place with much to offer and much to be proud of and for that we invite investors to come, invest and be Region 12’s partner of growth and development.

Keep up and let’s continue to work in harmony and together let’s “bridge the gap, touch the heart” for each and every coffee industry players towards the attainment of food staple sufficiency of our country.

Almost three years after DTI – 12 identified coffee as a priority industry cluster in region 12, endorsed it to the Economic Development Committee and eventually the Regional Development Council 12, the Coffee Industry is now set on center stage as various government agencies and private stakeholders host the 1st Region 12 Coffee Congress.

The rallying cry for concerned government agencies to support the coffee industry has been successful. Today, the Dept. Of Agriculture, DTI, DOST, TESDA, the Provincial governments and concerned LgUs of Sultan Kudarat, Sarangani, South Cotabato and North Cotabato, the growers, traders, nursery operators are behind the staging of this event.

It is but fitting for Sultan Kudarat to host this since it is the country’s top producer of coffee for all varieties combined.

The DTI at the top level has identified three components for its blueprint for industry development, namely 1) push the growth in key big industry winners; 2) more rigorous focus on agribusiness; 3) develop strategies for sectors with large scale potential.

At the regional/provincial level, this is translated to the development of particular industries where coffee is among those on top of the list. We push for the growth of plantation-size coffee farming; coffee roasting or coffee shop business. This congress and its side events offer a lot of opportunities towards these identified ends.

The theme “ Improving Productivity for Better Opportunity” indeed speaks of the support mechanisms that agencies/institutions can provide, such that farmers and entrepreneurs maximize the benefits offered by the industry. Mabuhay Tayong Lahat.

IBRAHIM K. GUIAMADEL Regional Director, DTI -12

Isang mainit at nakakagising na KAPE sa inyong tanan!

For years, though in silence, Region XII is the primary producer of coffee in the entire country. The picturesque town of Sen. Ninoy Aquino, in the hinterlands of Sultan Kudarat, lies at the center of this booming industry.

Though we have bested the provinces of Cavite and Batangas, coffee industry in Region XII still has a huge potential growth.

This congress aims to jumpstart the industry and stimulate the interest of coffee growers, traders, processors and all stakeholders including government agencies.

Join us in this meeting of minds, as we draw the Coffee Roadmap of Region XII.

Welcome to all industry stakeholders participating in the 1st Region 12 Coffee Congress.

The GEM Program is proud to be working with many dynamic partners in Mindanao to develop its agricultural sectors, including the coffee industry. This is helping to create new jobs and thereby bring prosperity and peace to the region.

Coffee is an important global commodity. Mindanao already grows more than 70 percent of the country’s coffee, with Sultan Kudarat as the top producer in the region. So we are pleased to support this event, which will serve to make Mindanao’s coffee industry more competitive and to strengthen alliances between producers, processors and institutional buyers.

Our congratulations to the SK Coffee Industry Development Council, Sen. Ninoy Aquino Coffee Industry Development Council, provincial government of Sultan Kudarat, and Region 12 line agencies which collaborated closely to ensure a productive congress: the Department of Agriculture, Department of Trade and Industry, and Technical Education Skills Development Authority.

We wish you every success.

Coffee has been around for more than 1,000 years.

During that time, coffee has been considered a food, a medicine, an aphrodisiac, and even a wine.

Today, however, coffee is known as a beverage to be savored and enjoyed.

offee occupies an important place in the world economy, being widely consumed as the most prestigious beverage. Coffee is the second most consumed beverage in the world (after water), and the second most traded commodity (after petroleum), grown in some 70 countries, 60 of which are exporters. While instant coffee is still the general preference, the ground and brew sector is growing. Organic coffee is the other growth area that the industry can look forward to.

Coffee trees require a rich, moist, loose, well-drained soil best composed of organic matter, decomposed mold, and disintegrated volcanic rock; a well-distributed rainfall of about 40-70 inches annually with

peak wet season; high humidity, seven hours of sunshine daily; and plenty of mist and moderate winds.

Coffee trees vary greatly in sizes from dwarf trees to thick-trunked forest giants twenty feet or more in tropic. generally, they are restricted to areas with a medium average annual temperature of 21 C, not lower than 12 C and much above 26 C. The Philippines is located in the Bean Belt of the World. The top coffee producing countries are Brazil, Vietnam, Columbia, Indonesia and India. The combined production of Brazil and Vietnam is already almost ½ of the world coffee production.

Arabica VS. Robusta

Arabica is the superior

coffee beans distinct for its aroma and high quality tasting characteristics, little acidity and caffeine.

The plants tend to thrive when located in areas where there is light shade for a large portion of the day. Arabica is typically cultivated at a height of 1,300 and 1,500 m but there are species planted at the sea level and at 2.800 m height.

The plant is able to stand low temperatures but not frost. It needs a little shade to be grown if opposite to Robusta which does very well under direct sun rays.

It could be grown productively in cooler places with an elevation ranging from 1,200 to 1,800 meters above sea level.

Robusta grows in less rigid conditions, cheaper to produce and

has a greater crop yield than the major species of coffee. It is usually limited to use as filler in lower-grade coffee blends.

part of a blend because it complements Coffea Robusta nicely. The optimum temperature to grow Liberica is around 18 – 26 degrees Celsius.

Robusta is the chief source of the base for blending coffee and is important in the manufacture of soluble or instant coffee and espresso blends to form crema. Robusta has about twice as much caffeine as Arabica. It makes up around 90% of the Philippines’ total coffee production.

Excelsa - This mild

flavored coffee is often likened to Coffea Liberica. It has a smooth, slightly earthy without having any hint of a burnt flavor. This is a good coffee for people who don’t drink the beverage very often and those who dislike coffee with a bold, strong flavor.

Coffee beans Excelsa is often used a filler bean Liberica coffee tastes for many coffee blends. more like robusta.

Coffea Arabica is one The provinces of of the most popular Batangas and Cavite are coffees that is blended producers of a variety with Coffea Excelsa. of Liberica known as Like most other coffee Barako. It is often noted varieties, Coffea Excelsa that it has a mild and thrives in warm to hot nutty taste but Kapeng climates. Because of Barako, considered the drought resistant to be the best among properties, this plant Liberica species has a can thrive in desert more the mild to strong conditions, as well as a taste.

Coffee Benefits

T

he emotional and physical benefits of coffee are numerous. Not only does coffee taste good, it can stimulate you, relax you and refresh you.

Coffee stimulates your senses thanks to its caffeine content which stimulates metabolism and supports mental alertness and concentration. Your body absorbs it within 30 minutes, and its positive effects may last 2-5 hours.

Coffee relaxes you because it hydrates you.

Because water is the main ingredient in a cup of coffee, it helps you work towards your daily water needs and is practically free of calories.

Coffee refreshes you with its wealth of polyphenols.

Polyphenols are nutrients that help maintain your body in good health over time. They are also found in green tea, fruits and cocoa.

The next time you drink a cup of coffee, just think of all its benefits!
