Indonesia
Coffee’s history in Indonesia dates back to the 1600s when Dutch colonists introduced coffee cultivation on the islands and the country quickly became one of the world’s top coffee producers. After Indonesia gained independence in the 1940s, smallholder farmers began to dominate production and the recent rise of specialty coffee in recent years has brought a new focus on quality and sustainability, further enhancing the country’s coffee reputation on the global stage.
