NH-ILO-Kape-Gquetulio-2020-2

Kape or robusta coffee thrives in tropical climates and can be found in certain areas in Lambunao, mainly Cabatangan, Panuran, Bagongbong, and Agsirab. Its flowers have a pleasant fragrance, often described as sweet and floral with hints of jasmine or citrus notes. The fruit is called coffee cherry, which resembles a cherry in appearance and has a dark red color when fully ripe. The beans, found inside the cherry, are then dried, roasted, and grounded to make coffee. These are then sold by the community, providing income and employment opportunities. The kape can withstand harsh conditions such as high temperatures, intense sunlight, and occasional drought. However, it is susceptible to pests and diseases, deforestation, monoculture farming, and excessive use of agrochemicals.
