The Batangas Barako coffee or Philippine liberica plant is in a decline! Up until 1986, the Philippines was earning at least US$150 million a year in coffee exports. Coffee had always been one of our biggest dollar earners -- up until 10 years ago. Now there is a consortium of coffee farmers in Cavite, who are doing something about it. Help save the Batangas Barako coffee!
