Coffee production in the Philippines

Coffee production in the Philippines began as early as 1740 when the Spanish introduced coffee in the islands.  It was once a major industry in the Philippines, which 200 years ago was the fourth largest coffee producing nation.

As of 2014, the Philippines produces 25,000 metric tons of coffee, and is ranked 110th in terms of output.  However, local demand for coffee is high, with 100,000 metric tons of coffee consumed in the country per year.
