The DA-BAFS, in collaboration with Technical Working Group (TWG) members, Ms. Joji Pantoja and Mr. Gerome Sumagaysay from Coffee for Peace, Inc., along with Mr. Emmanuel Belviz, and Ms. Mary Grace Belviz from Belviz Farm, Dr. Lorna Herradura of BPI Davao Research Center and with support from DA-RFO 11, conducted a field data gathering activity in Davao City on September 11-12, 2024.
This initiative is part of the development of the Illustrative Guides (IG) for the Philippine National Standards (PNS) on Green Coffee Beans – Specifications and Fresh Fruit – Durian. The team documented the specifications and grading for both commodities, which is crucial in developing the IG.
The IG serves as a supporting document for the PNS, providing visual representations to clarify specific provisions and requirements outlined in the standards.
