Coffee export performance is expected to be better this year. The increase in coffee exports is supported by domestic coffee production, which is expected to increase by 10% compared with the same period last year.

He has been suffering since 2015. Coffee trees gradually returned to their original state after the impact of the El Nino attack and the weather is now good, which is one of the reasons for the increase in coffee production. As a result, the output of several coffee production centres is expected to be higher.

If coffee production is expected to reach 10 million to 10.5 million bags or equivalent to 600000 to 630000 tons (60 kg per bag) last year, coffee production this year will reach 11 million bags, or 660000 tons or 10 per cent more than in 2017.

A few days ago, Muriono, chairman of the industry and special department of the Indonesian Coffee exporters Association (AEKI). A reporter from Moelyono Soesilo said that last year, most of the coffee trees in the coffee garden have been affected since 2015. The impact of the Nino attack has fully recovered. "as a result, production will certainly be better this year."

Muriono predicts that the increase in coffee production will boost coffee exports this year. Coffee exports will reach 380000 tons, up 26.6 percent from only 300000 tons last year.

But it is not only China's coffee exports that have increased, but also production in other countries such as Brazil and Vietnam, so coffee prices in the global market are expected to fall this year. "production of kopi Robusta coffee in Brazil and Vietnam has recovered, while production of Arabica coffee (kopi Arabika) has improved almost entirely, such as in Brazil and Colombia."

According to Syafrudin, president of the Indonesian Special Coffee Association (AKSI), prices will not fall much as demand for coffee products continues to rise. As more and more people like to drink coffee, the demand for coffee continues to increase in several countries.

This is also happening in the domestic market, and the demand for coffee will continue to increase, as can be seen in more and more coffee shops. He therefore urged the Government to find ways to improve the quality of coffee and to improve the management mechanism from planting to harvest season.

"New planting land needs to be reclaimed so that new coffee crops can be replanted."
