Fresh ube tubers
Sariwang ube
Whole purple yam tubers, harvested after about 9 to 12 months. The base of everything else, and the part of the chain where farmers most need fair prices.
How it’s made
- Plant setts at the start of the rainy season and train the vines up poles.
- Harvest when the vines die back, digging carefully to avoid bruising.
- Clean, sort by size and keep in a cool, dry, airy place.
Who buys it
Processors, halaya makers, bakeries, traders and markets.
Rules to know
Exporting fresh ube is currently suspended; processed products can still be exported. Check the latest with the DA and BPI. Requirements change, so confirm with the agency before you start selling.
Where it’s made in the Philippines
Bohol, Bukidnon, Romblon and many provinces.
How to start small
