Indonesia’s specialty coffee industry is undergoing remarkable expansion, with production volumes increasing by 37% over the past two years according to ProSpace Indonesia’s Commodity Market Report. Export values for high-grade Indonesian coffee reached $1.2 billion in 2024, reflecting growing international appreciation for the country’s diverse coffee profiles.
Single-origin coffees from regions including Aceh, Toraja, Flores, and West Java command premium prices in international markets, with some micro-lots selling for over $50 per kilogram. Domestic consumption of specialty coffee has grown at 23% annually as urban consumers develop more sophisticated palates.
“We’re seeing Indonesia transition from being known primarily as a bulk coffee producer to gaining recognition for exceptional specialty offerings,” notes Diandra Purnama, Coffee Industry Specialist at ProSpace. “Direct trade relationships between farmers and roasters are creating value chains that reward quality over quantity.”
Coffee tourism emerges as a significant economic driver in production regions, with an estimated 320,000 visitors participating in coffee-related experiences in 2024. Producer cooperatives increasingly offer cupping sessions, processing demonstrations, and homestay programs.
Sustainability certification has grown by 65% since 2023, with organic, Rainforest Alliance, and Fair Trade designations improving market access and price premiums. Climate change adaptation remains a challenge, with farmers at higher elevations experimenting with new varietals and shade-growing techniques.
