sudah bertahun-tahun saya dengar cerita yang sama dari sesama petani di daerah saya. biaya pupuk naik, upah petik naik, biaya transport naik. tapi harga cherry yang dijual ke pengepul hampir tidak...
I am from the Philippines and in the last months I tried two Indonesian single origin coffees that made me curious to explore more. First was Aceh Gayo from a local roaster here in Manila. heavier...
Ada satu hal yang cukup ironis di industri kopi sekarang. Di hilir, kita sering lihat harga kopi naik, bahkan jadi "premium". Tapi di hulu, banyak farmer yang justru masih struggle. Cost naik terus...
gue lagi coba mapping ulang supply chain kopi dari petani ke roaster akhir dan angkanya bikin kepala pusing. rata-rata ada 6-8 tangan yang pegang kopi sebelum sampai ke roaster. petani ke pengepul...
this one keeps coming back around me lately. Export-style traceability is starting to shape farm routines much earlier on paper it should be cleaner than this. real batches say otherwise. one run...
lagi riset soal ini dan nemu beberapa nama yang sering disebut di literatur luar tapi jarang dibahas di forum Indonesia. Catimor itu hasil cross Caturra x Timor Hybrid. Timor Hybrid sendiri itu cross...
Teknologi di dunia farming sekarang mulai masuk ke level yang dulu kayaknya gak kepikiran. Ada yang pakai sensor untuk monitor tanah, drone untuk mapping kebun, bahkan AI untuk prediksi hasil panen...
Belakangan ini makin kebukti kalau climate change itu bukan lagi isu teori, tapi sudah kejadian langsung di kebun. Banyak origin yang dulu stabil sekarang mulai "geser" musim panen berubah, cuaca...
Sekarang mulai banyak dikembangkan varietas kopi yang lebih tahan terhadap panas dan penyakit. Secara logika, ini solusi jangka panjang untuk climate change. Tapi selalu ada satu pertanyaan besar...
sudah dua musim berturut-turut angka proyeksi panen dari dinas dan dari model yang saya pakai sendiri meleset jauh dari aktual. satu kali meleset 20% lebih rendah dari proyeksi, satu kali 30% lebih...
Satu isu yang mungkin gak terlalu sering dibahas, tapi dampaknya besar: makin sedikit generasi muda yang mau masuk ke dunia farming. Banyak kebun yang sekarang masih jalan karena generasi lama, tapi...
Beberapa waktu terakhir banyak roaster mulai ngerasain hal yang sama: supply makin gak bisa diprediksi. Kadang barang telat, kadang kualitas batch beda jauh, kadang harga berubah cepat. Jadi planning...
throwing this here because the topic is getting louder and my confidence is not getting better. Buyers say they want long-term partnership, then switch fast on small price gaps forum talk makes it...
Recently I have been discussing fine robusta as a real category for serious farms with several coffee people and nobody gives the same answer. Some treat it as small detail, some say it changes the...
Recently I have been discussing harvest labor shortage in coffee farming with several coffee people and nobody gives the same answer. Some treat it as small detail, some say it changes the whole...
My confusion with long-term contracts with coffee farms is that the idea makes sense on paper, but practical execution looks much less clean. The more I ask around, the more I hear opposite...
throwing this here because the topic is getting louder and my confidence is not getting better. Shade management is becoming a market topic, not only agronomy topic forum talk makes it sound simple...
not writing this like a tutorial, just honestly stuck on it. Buyer requests for living-income proof are growing faster than farm payment systems i keep hearing strong opinions, almost none of them...
I grow arabica in Doi Chaang area at around 1100-1200m altitude. for three years I practice honey process, same protocol: remove cherry skin with pulper, keep some mucilage on bean surface, dry on...
gue lagi riset soal ini dan datanya lumayan bikin tidak nyaman. laporan SCA 2019 soal coffee and climate change bilang sampai 50% area suitable arabica global bisa hilang sebelum 2050 di skenario...
