KILAS
TWENTY YEARS AGO, Nestlé Indonesia
established Agriservice Coffee Team to
provide trainings for Lampung coffee
farmers on how to improve coffee qua-
lity and productivity, an effort to sup-
porting the sustainable coffee farming.
Beside trainings, Nestlé Indonesia also
initiated the establishment of joint en-
terprise groups for coffee farmers (KUB)
to empower partnership and coffee
beans marketing in order to earn sus-
tainable income for coffee farmers.
Located in the village of Ngarip, Tang-
gamus, Agriservice Coffee Team started
with post-harvest practices training so
the produced coffee beans can meet
the criteria, known as the “Nestlé Stan-
dard and set up the first joint enterprise
group for coffee farmers in Ngarip.
Having established the KUB, coffee
farmers can directly deliver the beans
to Nestlé Indonesia factory in Panjang.
This KUB has now become one of Pan-
jang Factory partners and the hub of
coffee farmers’ delivery to factory.
Furthermore, Agriservice Coffee
Team also provided trainings for cof-
fee farmers on how to apply good ag-
ricultural practices. The coffee farmers
were keen to participate, even Rohadi,
the village head of Ngarip, fully sup-
ported these activities. This hard work
is now showing good results, evident
from the increased in productivity up to
1,200 kg/ha, 50 percent higher than the
average national coffee productivity.
In 1996, Agriservice Coffee Team set
up its demonstration farm in Ngarip
for multi-location test of five coffee
clones which were developed by In-
donesian Coffee and Cocoa Research
Institute (ICCRI) and Nestlé Research
Center in Tours, France. In 2014, Nestlé
Indonesia set up a new 4 hectare Ex-
periment and Demonstration Farm in
Talang Padang village, Tanggamus
which is used for a demonstration plot
coffee nursery training as well as loca-
tion for good coffee clones collection
from ICCRI.
This partnership, which has now in-
volved 15,000 coffee farmers in Lam-
pung, continues to grow and involve
other stakeholders. In 2012, together
with WWF, Nestlé Indonesia through
NEWTrees program, conducted train-
ing for farmers on how to preserve the
environment and also planted 8,000 silk
trees (Albizia Chinensis) as a form of
land conservation effort in Lampung.
Within the same year, Nestlé Indo-
nesia also launched a global initiative
called the “NESCAFÉ Plan” that is also
being implemented in Lampung as a
global effort to source sustainably ma-
naged coffee beans and directly buy
from farmers. In 2014, Nestlé Indonesia
will directly purchase 20,000 tons coffee
beans from KUB, including 15,000 tons
produced by some 13,000 4C* certified
coffee farmers. This 4C purchasing from
KUB by Nestlé Indonesia is a way to trace
the location of produced beans, known
as ‘Traceability Scheme’.
Rohadi said he has learned a lot since
the partnership’s establishment with
Nestlé Indonesia in 1994. “From defect
system, the application of traceability,
and the implementation of 4C certifica-
tion. All these things are challenging for
us, but we feel more excited to bring out
the best results.” Through partnership
with Lampung coffee farmers, Nestlé
Indonesia ensures that all raw materials
for NESCAFÉ products from Panjang
Factory are directly sourced from coffee
farmers who manage their farms in a
sustainable way.
Nestlé Indonesia is committed in
using 100 percent of Lampung coffee
beans, bought directly from the farmers,
to produce NESCAFÉ Classic and NESCAFÉ
Mixes instant coffee. This, in turn, will
add value to Indonesian coffee beans
and support the government and the
community in improving the farmers’
welfare. The partnership reflects Nestlé’s
business concept that has been deve-
loped globally, in which for a company
to be successful, the communities we
serve, need to prosper as well. Hence,
there is creating of shared values.

KONSTIYANTO, THE PIONEER OF COFFEE
FARMERS JOINT ENTERPRISE GROUP
S
ince the beginning of the 1980s, the Government,
through the Ministry of Agriculture and Ministry of
Cooperative and SMEs encourages farmers to coope-
rate with corporations in order to improve agriculture and
farmers’ welfare through joint enterprise or cooperative. This
program led Konstiyanto, who served as a staff of the Estate
Crop Agency in Pulaupanggung District, to encourage coffee
farmers to form joint enterprise group so they can improve
their welfare. Together they can learn and implement good
and integrated agricultural practices, as well as the market-
ing process.
During his time in the Estate Crop Agency, Konstiyanto
has established three Joint Enterprise Groups (Kelompok
Usaha Bersama – KUB). The first was KUB Mawar in 2002,
led by Rohadi, one of the senior coffee farmers in Ngarip vil-
lage. Konstiyanto later established KUB Sinar Abadi, which
unfortunately did not last due to internal problem. Even
so, he refused to give up and continued to motivate coffee
farmers to join the KUB. In 2010, KUB Robusta Prima was es-
tablished in Pulaupanggung. A total of 1,595 farmers from
61 farmer groups joined this KUB.
After his retirement from the Estate Crop Agency,
Konstiyanto focused in developing KUB Robusta Prima
and was chosen to lead the organization. Two years after
its establishment, KUB Robusta Prima was chosen as one
of the joint enterprise groups (KUB) trained by Nestlé In-
donesia. He also registered KUB Robusta Prima as one of
Nestlé Indonesia factory’s business partners in Panjang. This
process required each member to dedicate their time and hard
work because they they were expected to provide raw mate-
rials in accordance the criteria known as “Nestlé Standard”
among the coffee farmers in Lampung. This effort finally made
its way when in 2012, KUB Robusta Prima was officially an-
nounced as the partner of Nestlé Indonesia factory in Panjang.
Since partnering with Nestlé Indonesia, the economic sta-
tus of KUB Robusta Prima and its members was improved,
including the financial difficulties faced by the group. The
transparent transaction process, competitive price and form
of support in high quality plantlets supply, training cost and
KUB development fund, have encouraged its members to
produce raw materials of “Nestlé Standard”.
Konstiyanto also mentioned that one of the programs
benefiting KUB members was the women coffee farmers
empowerment through waste bank training by the Rain-
forest Alliance, one of Nestlé Indonesia’s partners. “Having
completed the training, women coffee farmers are capable
in managing the waste bank, in addition to coffee farm-
ing. They are able to produce fertilizer and recycle goods
from the compiled waste which can be sold as additional
income sources,” said Konstiyanto.
Kostiyanto hopes that the relationship between Nestlé
Indonesia and KUB Robusta Prima will sustain and is equal-
ly positive for both parties, as well as for the surrounding
environment.
