The coffee hub is expected to include processing facilities, training centers, and a marketing platform to help farmers improve coffee quality and access better markets. Pacquiao highlighted the potential of Cebu's coffee sector, noting that it can compete globally with proper support and infrastructure.
Local officials and agricultural experts welcomed the investment, saying it could create jobs and increase income for coffee growers in Cebu. The project aligns with national efforts to boost agricultural productivity and reduce dependence on imported coffee.
