Phililppine Coffee Quality Competition
THE BEST ARABICA & ROBUSTA COFFEES IN THE PHILIPPINES
The PCQC is an annual green coffee competition that seeks to increase the consciousness of Filipino farmers on coffee quality and encourages them to improve their competitiveness in the domestic and international markets.
The Department of Agriculture (DA), the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), ACDI/VOCA, Barista and Coffee Academy of Asia (BCAA), and most recently, the Philippine Coffee Guild (PCG), have organized PCQC since 2017.
They seek to promote Philippine coffee locally and internationally, specifically Arabica and Robusta. The competition uses the Coffee Quality Institute’s (CQI) internationally accepted grading and profiling protocols.

“I would say it is one of the best Robusta coffee I have tasted in the local competitions the past four years because at 900 meters above sea level, it has sweetness and complexity pretty much like with an Arabica coffee”
Cherry Cruz, chair of the technical working group of the PCQC 2021

Despite significant progress in recent years, the Philippine coffee sector remains in need of support to realize its full potential and deliver improved livelihood opportunities to farmers throughout the country. PhilCAFE is building on the the success of the Mindanao Productivity in Agricultural Commerce and Trade (MinPACT) project and capitalizing on ACDI/VOCA’s extensive network and reputation from working in tree crops and other sectors in the Philippines for over 25 years.
