In the late 1600s coffee came to Indonesia & started growing in the late 1700s, Indonesia was the fourth largest coffee producer in the world in 2014 and has remained in place so far, Indonesian coffee in general, is noted to be distinctly rich, plump and slightly acidic.
With the increasing number of local coffee shops, the demand for coffee in the country is also increasing, the amount of coffee grown by 8% per year. A few years ago, Indonesia's per capita coffee consumption was only 0.8 kg or 800 grams per year, now it has reached 1.5 kg per year, which means that Indonesia's domestic coffee consumption continues to increase. Thus, in a year, an Indonesian can drink an average of 2-3 cups of coffee per day. However, coffee consumption in Indonesia is not as large as in Japan or Malaysia, where this figure can reach 4 kg per person. While all Indonesian coffee is exported rather than consumed domestically, 630,000 tonnes are produced domestically each year, with the majority – about 500,000 tonnes – being exported. However, domestic consumption will certainly continue to increase as more and more people get into the habit of walking and drinking coffee. The opportunity to boost Indonesia's domestic consumption remains open. Therefore, domestic coffee production needs to be increased to meet the growing demand.
One of the most expensive coffees in the world, Kopi Luwak is actually fermented in the stomachs of Asian palm civets. In Indonesia, civets eat ripe coffee cherries from coffee farms, but they can’t digest the beans, so the beans go through a “special” fermentation process before they’re collected by farmers and processed into the familiar coffee bean.
