Happiness of Coffee Farmer This Year

Happiness of Coffee Farmer This Year

The title above is deliberately chosen to represent a cheerful and happy mood arabica coffee farmers in the foothills  where they have coffee plantation. Because in this year, the price of Arabica coffee relatively more expensive than in previous years. It is inversely proportional to the price of sugarcane is still below forecast price, even within two months  this writing money DO (Delivery Order) of the sugar factory has not been disbursed. Apparently not as sweet as the sweetness of sugar cane price. As the feelings of this heart sank at once excited coffee and sugar.  If prices are high, of course authors are very pleased to see the neighbors to obtain the coffers of dollars are abundant.

Back to the point, that since the coffee harvest begins in early June  this year, "sweetness" arabica coffee prices had begun. First picking of coffee "glondongan" or red beans the price is at IDR 4,000. / kg, two weeks later increased to IDR 4,500, - / kg, then IDR 5,000. - / kg until the last priced at IDR 6,000. - / kg. That's the price of "glondongan" The price  will be different if the coffee is processed into seeds HS (there are skin ) or OC (greenbean / raw seeds) then the price of coffee is certainly more expensive.

Capitalize funding from CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) Bank Indonesia, some farmers in the foothills of the regency of Ijen already cultivated arabica coffee beans HS then be exported to the State (the United States, Europe, etc.) through a cooperative management. The price is exceeded estimates of IDR 37,000. - / kg for coffee beans HS Wet and IDR 45,000, - / kg. All coffee beans are exported is the result of a wet (full wash) so as to have a taste of international standards.

Finally, the authors hope and continue to pray that next year the price of coffee and sugar prices are equally high that smile will expand on all the neighbors.
