Work Program of the Indonesian Coffee Exporters and Industry Association

Strengthening the Role of Central and Regional Administrators

The first program targets the management itself. Every member of the BPP and BPD is expected to be directly involved in the national coffee agenda, not simply be listed on the management board. The motto used for this direction is: Unite, Work, and Create.

This program served as the foundation for the next seven programs. Outside of Jakarta, the Regional Development Bank (BPD) is the closest extension of the organization to coffee farmers in its region.

Coffee Education for Independent Entrepreneurs

Among the eight programs, education is prioritized. The goal is to develop self-sufficient coffee entrepreneurs, and the implementing agency is the Indonesian Coffee Training Center (PPKI).

The materials, schedule, and costs for each class are discussed on the respective training pages, not repeated here.

Regular Activities, Training, and Competition Events

The third program organizes the organization's calendar: recurring forums, classes, workshops, and seminars, including a space for coffee practitioners to compete. Its four annual agendas are:

• AEKI National Coffee Symposium
• Coffee Export Training
• Regular coffee profession training: Roasting, Barista, Cupping, Latte Art, and Manual Brewing
• Coffee entrepreneurship workshop

Services and Benefits for Members

This is the only program with benefits exclusively for members. Registered exporters and industry players receive market information, updates on changes to export regulations, basic export procedure guidance from the Secretariat, and a channel to convey their concerns to the government.

Details of the benefits per membership package and their costs are listed on the membership package page.

Coffee Commodity Market and Hedging

Coffee traders and distributors face two common challenges: insufficient capital to maintain inventory and volatile prices. The seventh program addresses both. Together with several partners, AEKI is promoting the establishment of a Coffee Commodity Market as an alternative financing source to ensure a stable supply.

In the same market, hedging instruments are prepared to reduce the risk of price fluctuations and help establish reference prices.
