| How You Can Help
|
There are many things you can do to help save the Barako and our local coffee industry. Here are a few:
|
|
Donate. Be informed. Plant a Barako seedling.
|
|
Purchase Barako Blend or Barako Gold from any of the Figaro outlets. Part of the proceeds from sales of these blends will go to the Barako Revitalization Fund to facilitate more Barako plantings.
Plant Barako in your farm. For questions regarding Coffee Farming, you may call Dr. Alejandro Mojica, National Team Leader, Coffee Research and Development Programs; Director for Research, Cavite State University at Telefax (046)415-1355 or email him at andy_mojica@hotmail.com
|
|
Donate your change to the Barako Coin Bank at any Figaro outlet.
|
|
Sponsor a Barako seedling in your name. Barako seedlings cost only Php 30.00 each. This seedling will then be planted in your name during the Annual Barako Tree Planting event of the Figaro Foundation Corporation. Interested parties may call the Save the Barako Hotline at 8929535 or e-mail info@savethebarako.org.
You may also participate in activities initiated by the National Coffee Development Board. For inquiries, you may email ncdb_secretariat@yahoo.com or visit their website www.philippinecoffees.com.
