Boosting Exports, Indonesia Strengthens Coffee's Position in the Global Market through JCFF 2026
Indonesia has now solidified its position as one of the four largest coffee producers in the world. Alongside other major coffee-producing nations such as Brazil, Vietnam, and Colombia, Indonesia possesses significant potential to continue increasing its contribution to the international coffee industry.
However, a major challenge still looms over this sector as Indonesia's coffee exports are currently dominated by raw coffee beans. This means the value-added potential of local coffee products in the international market remains suboptimal compared to processed coffee products, which command higher selling prices.
To address these challenges, the Business Matching event within the Jakarta Coffee Festival (JCFF) 2026 series is being held as a strategic move. This activity serves as a meeting platform for local coffee business players and buyers from various countries to expand business networks and introduce the quality of Indonesian coffee more broadly.
Through this initiative, the government and industry players hope to boost the export of coffee products that already possess added value. By strengthening promotion and improving the supply chain, it is hoped that Indonesian coffee will not only be known as a raw commodity but also as a premier global product.
This step is expected to improve the welfare of coffee farmers in various regions across Indonesia. With more open market access and appropriate business support, there is optimism that Indonesian coffee can compete more strongly on the global stage in the future.
