On July 28, 2025, Subang bore witness to a significant moment for Indonesian coffee with the official release of 57.6 tons of locally grown Robusta coffee for export to China. The event, led by Deputy Minister of Trade, Dyah Roro Esti Widya Putri, B.A., M.Sc., symbolizes the strong collaboration between Indonesian coffee farmers and the global market.
More Than Just a Shipment, This is an Achievement
This event marks more than just a coffee shipment; it is an achievement in collaboration, transparency, and progress made within the Indonesian coffee industry. Through the support of Asli Pangan via the Asli Farmers Finance Corporation (AFFC), coffee from the Gunung Luhur Berkah (GLB) Cooperative can now penetrate international markets, particularly China.
Key Factors in the Success of This Export:
Alternative Financing
AFFC plays a vital role in providing financing that drives the growth of coffee farmers, enabling them to boost production and meet international market demand.
Blockchain-Based Supply Chain
The use of blockchain technology provides full transparency and efficiency in managing coffee from the farmer all the way to international consumers, guaranteeing the quality and authenticity of Indonesian coffee products.
Access to Global Markets
With AFFC‘s support, coffee from GLB has successfully entered the international market, opening up immense opportunities for Indonesian coffee to become more globally recognized.
The release of this coffee export is a tangible example of how innovation, appropriate support, and a shared vision can elevate Indonesian local commodities onto the world stage. This is a step forward for the Indonesian coffee industry, creating new opportunities for farmers and broadening access to global markets.
