Indonesia is aiming to surpass Vietnam and become the world’s second-largest coffee producer, according to Chief Food Affairs Minister Zulkifli Hasan. Currently ranked fourth with over 700,000 tons annually, Indonesia wants to increase output through improved seedlings, post-harvest processing, and packaging, the Jakarta Globe has reported.
The publication also notes that:
- The government is calling for deeper collaboration with the private sector to scale production and capitalise on favourable global prices.
- The country currently holds 54 Geographical Indications for coffee, including 26 for Arabica and 24 for Robusta, and benefits from diverse growing regions stretching from Aceh to Papua.
- Vietnam remains ahead with 1.8 million tons of mostly Robusta coffee produced annually, compared to Indonesia’s 700,000 tons.
- From January to September 2024, Indonesia exported 342,220 tons of coffee worth US$1.49 billion and imported 67,650 tons, mainly from Vietnam (47,270 tons), Brazil, and Malaysia.
