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.
