Abstract Agriculture, specifically farming, has been the primary source of livelihood for a large proportion of the Philippine population. Despite an increase in consumption, there is a decrease in coffee output that needs to be increased to supply domestic demand. Due to financial instability and a lack of resources, farmers join cooperatives to solve their concerns. This study examined and analyzed the effect of Cafe Amadeo Development Cooperative (CADC) initiatives on the living wages of their coffee farmers' members. This research proved whether CADC effectively boosts their living wages to enhance their lifestyles. Using Ordinal Regression Analysis, calculate the data from the primary data gathered through a quantitatively designed survey questionnaire from the members. The study's findings highlight the importance of coffee bean pricing and dividends in enhancing the living standards of coffee farmers. These factors contribute to higher living wages and improved overall well-being. However, loans and patronage, while not directly impacting living wages, play an essential role in addressing the financial needs of coffee farmers, both as farmers and as family providers. The research findings reflect on CADC initiatives and serve as a roadmap for their upcoming approach to promoting coffee farmers' advancement. Researchers recommend that Cafe Amadeo Development Cooperative (CADC) implement advances in farming practices and introduce modern machinery to foster growth. These measures can empower farmers, enhance their productivity, and increase their living wage.
