Food Production - Tangerang, Banten, Indonesia
Started back in 2014, Adena Coffee was a social research project done in Gayo Land, Sumatra, Indonesia. Now, we are a social enterprise relentlessly working with local farmers in Gayo and Flores to develop a winning quality coffee. We are striving to promote an independent coffee community (free from the local mafia and able to direct their own trajectory) in every plantation we develop.Currently, we are developing 2 coffee plantations in Kenawat, Sumatera, and Sokoria, Flores. During the 2000s, a separatist group was raging a separation movement from the government and was well known as Gerakan Aceh Merdeka – Aceh's Independence Movement- or simply as GAM. Kenawat was located in the eye of the storm, becoming one of many centers of the Separatist base. Right after the peace negotiation, Kenawat was left with hectares of land suitable for coffee plantation and no one to produce it. On 2015, Adena arrived at Kenawat and started to forge a cooperation with one local farmer named Fahman Yoga – now he's currently the manager of The Adena-Kenawat Center of Green Beans Post Processing (CGBPP) – to once again trying to revive the pride of producing good coffee and being a villager of Kenawat.On 2017, Ferdy Raga, one of few locals who's lucky enough to be able to have a good education, decided to come back and trying to develop his hometown in Flores. While being a teacher, he is also preserving local culture, environment and child's education level, ensure it to live up to the national's standard. Mr. Raga came in contact with Adena team in the middle of 2017 while we are trying to find a suitable location for opening new cooperation with the local coffee farmer. While it is well known in the coffee industry that Flores is one of the hidden jewels of coffee, Adena also believes that Flores Sokoria is very suitable to be developed given its location and cultural profile.
