One of the very few countries growing all four commercial coffee species — including Liberica, which almost nowhere else does.
Production figures are for the 2025/26 crop year.
The Philippines is unusual in growing Arabica, Robusta, Liberica and Excelsa commercially. Robusta is the bulk of the crop, from Mindanao and the southern Tagalog provinces. Arabica comes from the Cordillera highlands of northern Luzon — Benguet, Kalinga, Mountain Province — and from Bukidnon and Sultan Kudarat in Mindanao.
Liberica is the distinctive one. Known locally as *barako*, it is grown mainly in Batangas and Cavite, produces very large beans on tall trees, and has a following in the Philippines that it has nowhere else in the world. Total national production is modest and the country is a net importer — domestic demand comfortably exceeds what is grown — which keeps most of the crop at home and makes Philippine coffee a rarity on export markets.
Shaded provinces contain growing areas; the crop covers only part of each.
Benguet and Kalinga in northern Luzon — the country's Arabica highlands.
The home of barako — Liberica, grown almost nowhere else on this scale.
Bukidnon, Sultan Kudarat and Davao — most of the national volume.
Cordillera Arabica is sweet and medium-bodied with nutty and milk-chocolate character and moderate citrus acidity. Barako is the outlier and tastes like nothing else in this atlas: intensely aromatic, woody and almost smoky, with a pungent, slightly medicinal bitterness and a body heavier than Robusta's. It is an acquired taste and a genuinely endangered one.
Coffee arrived in the eighteenth century and by the 1880s the Philippines was among the world's leading exporters, with Batangas at the centre of the trade. Leaf rust destroyed the industry in the 1890s and it never recovered its former scale. Replanting favoured Robusta; the Liberica that survived did so mainly for local consumption.
