Coffee is a beverage enjoyed by a large part of the world's population, including Indonesia. This is not only due to its enjoyment by coffee drinkers but also because of its economic value to coffee-exporting countries.
Indonesia's Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) recorded domestic coffee production at 774,600 tons in 2021. This figure represents a 2.74% increase compared to the previous year's 753,900 tons.
South Sumatra ranks highest as the largest coffee producer in Indonesia, with coffee production in the province reaching 201,400 tons in 2021.
The majority of coffee types in South Sumatra are robusta, approximately 70%. Coffee cultivation areas are located in Pagar Alam, Lahat, Muara Enim, Empat Lawang, Ogan Komering Ulu, and Musi Rawas.
The next largest coffee producer is Lampung, with production totaling 118,000 tons. Sumatera Utara and Aceh follow, each producing 76,800 tons and 74,200 tons respectively.
Subtropical and tropical regions are ideal locations for coffee cultivation. Therefore, the countries dominating global coffee production are located in South America, Africa, and Southeast Asia.
