Bringing the Geographical Indication (GI) Kintamani Coffee as Solution to Low-Carbon & Climate Resilience Coffee Production
‍
Over 9.5 billion kg of coffee is produced around the world each year, with a total trade value of USD$ 30.9billion. Coffee has great potential to improve the quality of life of farmers in Indonesia as one of the main coffee producers in the world. In the business sector, demand for Indonesian coffee is suitable for the needs of both the local and the world market means potential to increase living income to farmers.  

The Year of 2024 is the coffee ethics for Coop Coffee. Its trading entity, The Company on its CSR commitment has been working with its Foundation entity: www.coopcoffee.org on a blended finance scheme under the Tropical Landscape Grant Funding Program with a country donor ofCanada Government through UNEP to ensure its coffee ethics goal. We are working on a massive coffee replanting program scattered within the 23,485 ha area of Kintamani coffee protection to anticipate the increasing demand for the world’s coffee supply especial for Kintamani Bali coffee under the agroforestry system with shading trees and intercropping trees. This project reduces GHC emissions at either end of the spectrum through improved agroforestry and land management by building the nature-based solution on carbon capture storage – fueling a pathway to low emissions development through carbon sequestration and carbon low emission coffee production.

The Program named as The Kintamani Coffee Revival: Bringing the Geographical Indication (GI) Kintamani Coffee as Solution to Low-Carbon & Climate Resilience Coffee Production using The Quadruple-Tech Solution based has 2 objectives, 4 main outputs, 13main activities, and 21 deliverables is taking places at the Catur-Piloting Village in Kintamani district until end of 2025. Coop Coffee is partnering with treecoin using its carbon proprietary AI applied to satellite imagery on the 10piloting coffee farmers’ land to measure the carbon sequestered since 2017 and trade their carbon credits to Australian buyer as additional income to the household to help them closing the income living gap.

The goal of this project is to achieve the GreenEconomy Index (GEI) Indonesian coffee production and reduce GHC emissions by an estimated of 24.7 MT CO2e within five-year project period through establishing self-sustaining business-as-usual coffee trading within the GI protection area.It is expected that a reduction of up to 151 MT CO2e over the next 20 years through replication of similar efforts to all GI coffee area across Indonesia will be achieved. This will create effective low-emission land management strategies that can be applied to the variety of contexts across Indonesia.
