DAVAO: A coffee farmers’ association in the Davao del Sur town of Sta. Cruz received PHP18 million worth of facilities and capital from the Department of Agriculture – Philippine Rural Development Program (DA-PRDP) over the weekend.

DA-11 Director Abel James Monteagudo said Monday that they successfully turned over the facilities to Tibolo Farmers Workers Association (TIFWA).

‘Congratulations to TIFWA and we hope that this intervention will help boost the income of the association and will help produce and market high-quality green coffee beans,’ Monteagudo said in a Facebook post.

project, which he said would improve efficiency, reduce logistics costs, and maximize profits.
