| description | The Philippines is one of only a few countries where <i>Coffea liberica</i> is commercially produced. Two infra-species, <i>C. liberica liberica</i> (also locally known as ‘liberica’) and <i>C. liberica var dewevrei</i> (also known as ‘excelsa’) comprise 1.1% and 5.7% of the national coffee production, respectively. These rare varieties are produced widely in the provinces of Batangas and Cavite mainly because of historical affinity, a local market, and more recently the renewed interest from importers. Aside from its unique flavor profile, renewed interest comes from the potential of the larger beans and deeper root systems of the species to thrive on a warming planet. In this paper, we present work that has been performed in evaluating bean morphology, chlorogenic acid, caffeine content and genetic variability of <i>C. liberica</i> varieties from different areas of the country. The initial efforts to predict areas for increased production were based on a maximum entropy model. Combining these data provides insights into development areas for increased production in the Philippines. |
