BAEP-LEAP Coffee newsletter

We’ve been working side by side with coffee farmers in Basilan and Sulu, sharing hands-on training on rejuvenation, pruning, and good agricultural practices. These sessions have become more than just learning spaces; they’re places where farmers exchange ideas, encourage one another, and gain the confidence to revive their farms.

Behind every cup of coffee is a farmer’s story. Today, many of them are putting new skills and techniques into practice, bringing back productivity to their trees and building stronger communities along the way.

It only takes one well-pruned tree, one shared lesson, or one revitalized farm to spark change. Across villages, these small steps are multiplying, reshaping livelihoods, strengthening pride in local coffee, and breathing new life into the industry in Basilan and Sulu.
