International Coffee Partners in Indonesia

Home to a rich, diverse ecosystem, Indonesia grows some of the world's most exceptional coffees. Indonesia is among the largest coffee-producing and exporting countries on the globe. As in our other project regions, smallholder coffee farmer families in Indonesia face challenges such as poor access to expertise and support services, effects of climate change, and little agricultural knowledge.

The current project is located in the region of OKU Selatan District in Southern Sumatra. There, we focus on:

  • supporting smallholder coffee farmers make their businesses more profitable,
  • professional capacitiy building,
  • establishing farmer organizations,
  • promoting the participation of women in all operations,
  • improving the perspectives of youths in the rural areas.

Current Project Phase

We aim to improve the livelihoods of smallholder coffee farming households by

  • increasing their quantity and quality of coffee,
  • increasing their climate change resilience,
  • supporting them in organizing themselves in strong and professional farmer organizations,
  • counteracting deforestation.

The project strengthens smallholders' adaptation to changing climatic conditions. This should increase the climate resilience of entire coffee landscapes. Using the approach of the initiative for coffee&climate, the project works with pioneer households to test a variety of intercrops, shade and cover crops, fertilization, and management regimes to best suit their local situation, resources, and potential climate risks.

The Almukatin Family in Times of COVID-19

In 2017, the Almukatin family joined the Muda Jaya Farmer Group to register with the local ICP project. Located in the ICP project region of Southern Sumatra, the Almukatins live in one of the major Robusta-producing regions of Indonesia. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, they experienced lower income from farm products on the one hand and increasing food prices and living costs on the other. However, the pandemic also became an opportunity for innovations. Together with the ongoing support of ICP, the Almukatins set up a small demonstration plot on their farm to test practices to boost their farm resilience.
