National Ube Association
A national body for the stewardship of Philippine ube — Dioscorea alata.
The Association safeguards the heritage, origin, and quality of Philippine ube; recognizes the growers and enterprises who uphold its standards; and represents the crop's interests to government, industry, and the world — so that the value ube generates returns to the regions and people who cultivate it.
What the Association does
The Philippine Ube Standard
A published specification for origin and quality — how genuine Dioscorea alata is defined, graded, and recognized.
For Growers & Producers
Recognition that travels, a premium that returns to the farm, and a collective voice for those who cultivate the crop.
Membership
Open to growers, cooperatives, processors, and enterprises who meet the Association's criteria.
The Association operates independently. It was established with support from Philippine Ube Co., a Philippine-registered exporter of origin-traceable ube. Membership is open to all growers, cooperatives, processors, and enterprises who meet its criteria.
