Indonesian coffee industry sustainability efforts

Overview

Indonesia is integrating coffee production and consumption with environmental sustainability initiatives. On the consumer side, the ‘Kampanye Indonesia Asri’ initiative is utilizing the country’s growing coffee shop culture to promote circular economy practices, such as repurposing coffee grounds and managing waste through workshops.

On the production side, farmers are employing agroforestry and regenerative agriculture to balance economic growth with conservation. In North Sumatra, initiatives have prepared coffee for export to Singapore and distributed seedlings for forest management. However, producers in West Sumatra face technical challenges regarding the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), as they must provide specific geographic coordinates and polygon data to prove their traditional ‘parak’ farming methods prevent deforestation.
