Department of Agriculture(DA)

Hi! I would like to request for the following data about coffee:

1. Number of coffee farmers per province per coffee variety (Arabica, Excelsa, Liberica, and Robusta).

2. Farmgate price of Arabica, Excesla, Liberica, and Robusta (dry beans).

These information are not available in the CountryStat website. The data would be of great help for me in developing Coffee Yield Insurance. 
Looking forward for your response. 
Thank you!
