IN PHOTO: Drying coffee beans in Kaatuan, Lantapan, Bukidnon

A boy helps his father dry catimor coffee, a variety of Arabica coffee in Kaatuan, Lantapan, Bukidnon. The family takes care of the coffee farm owned by a businessman. They divide the produce into two as a compensation arrangement. Coffee farmers here usually sell their dried coffee to a buyer in San Jose, Malaybalay City. Farmers here use the barangay road for drying because of lack of solar driers in the area. If vehicles pass by, farmers have to keep the beans stock back to the side.  BukidnonNews.Net photo by Erniel Tan Delante
