Green coffee beans
Berdeng butil ng kape
Unroasted coffee beans, sold by farmers and co-ops to roasters. Better picking, drying and sorting earn a much better price.
How it’s made
- Pick only ripe red cherries.
- Process them: dry the whole cherry (natural), or pulp and wash then dry (washed), or something in between (honey).
- Hull, sort out defects, and bag by grade.
Who buys it
Roasters, cafés that roast, traders and exporters.
Rules to know
Exporting green coffee needs a phytosanitary certificate from the Bureau of Plant Industry (BPI). Requirements change, so confirm with the agency before you start selling.
Where it’s made in the Philippines
Arabica in Benguet, Mountain Province, Kalinga and Mt. Apo; Robusta in Mindanao and Southern Luzon; Liberica and Excelsa in Batangas and Cavite.
How to start small
Selective picking and careful drying matter more than equipment. Cupping your coffee with a roaster shows you what to fix.
