The 9th La Trinidad Coffee Festival, led by the Municipal Local Government Unit of La Trinidad through the Municipal Agriculture Office of La Trinidad, is being held from February 16โ22 in La Trinidad, showcasing the municipalityโs rich coffee heritage and its growing role in the local agri-enterprise sector.
As part of the festivalโs Coffee Festival FAIR, Cordillera Consortium for Agriculture, Aquatic and Resources Research and Development (CorCAARRD), in collaboration with Benguet State University โ Institute of Highland Farming Systems and Agroforestry (BSU-IFSA), mounted an exhibit aimed at bringing science-based coffee innovations closer to farmers and other industry stakeholders.
The festival provided a strategic and highly visible platform for CorCAARRD and BSU-IFSA to promote available coffee technologies and products developed by Consortium Member Institutions. Through an exhibit-based approach, the team disseminated Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) and promotional materials to coffee farmers, processors, enthusiasts, and the general public. The interactive exhibit setup allowed direct engagement with visitors, enabling clearer understanding of the showcased technologies and products without the need for formal training or demonstrations.
Specifically, the participation sought to advertise locally developed coffee technologies and products, increase public awareness and appreciation of research-based innovations, and encourage greater interest in adopting improved practices within the Cordillera coffee industry.
The La Trinidad Coffee Festival continues to serve as a dynamic convergence of coffee stakeholders, farmers, entrepreneurs, researchers, and consumers through exhibits, product showcases, learning exchanges, and cultural activities. Through its participation, CorCAARRD, together with BSU-IFSA, reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening research dissemination, technology promotion, and knowledge sharing in support of a more sustainable and competitive local coffee industry.
