Nestlé Philippines corporate affairs head Jose Uy III said the company is on track to hit the goals set under its Project Coffee++, including higher yield and profit for coffee farmers, which is set to end next year.
The project is done by the company in partnership with the German Development Cooperation (GIZ). Under the three-year project, which began last year, some 3,000 farmers would be able to increase their yield and profit by 20 percent by next year.
Farmer-beneficiaries have been producing about 900 kilos per hectare at the end of the previous iteration of the project in 2022. Income-wise, farmers are now earning at least 100,000 per harvest season.
