Establishment of inclusive business on coffee production in Bali Province: Lesson from the coffee development project in Nusa Tenggara Timur Province, Indonesia

Abstract

Indonesia is one of the biggest coffee producers in the world. However, farmers’ income are still relatively small due to the low productivity, poor quality, low price, limited access to information, technology and market. This study aims to describe the inclusive business on coffee development in Bali, based on the Flores experience. The results of the study pointed out that the experience of inclusive business on coffee development in Nusa Tenggara Timur Province might also be implemented in Bali. The business model established should include the coffee farmers/farmers’ cooperative, coffee buyer/exporter, bank, government, research institution, and independent actor. Among the market actors, they should have mutualism partnership in order to obtain the economic incentives. This could ensure the sustainability of inclusive business on coffee development.
