Indonesia is a world coffee paradise. The predicate given special coffee community in the Specialty Coffee Association of America exhibition event (SCAA) in April 2015 and in Seattle, the United States. Indonesian heritage as a world coffee paradise based on the assessment of many coffee variants in Indonesia.
One of the most popular variants of the Indonesian coffee are popular in or overseas, namely coffee luwak. The variety of coffee is a quality coffee fruit that is cooked in the tree then eaten and fermented in the stomach of the luwak then removed along the dirt in the form of whole coffee seeds that can be cleaned and processed as it is coffee seeds in general. The unique manufacturing process makes the coffee beloved to taste, and is recognized as a special coffee, which is as one of the world’s most important coffee.
One of the leading coffee manufacturers can be found in Pranggang Village, Plosoklaten District, Kediri Regency, East Java. Luwakmas, so people know a coffee producer that is in a new year is able to produce a ton of coffee luwak for domestic and foreign markets. The owner of the company, Yekti Murih Wiyati, 39, admitting the demand of high-calc coffee from time to time. According to Yekti, the company is overwhelming to meet the market demand. Don’t forget to export large scales, for local markets only has not been fulfilled entirely.

The land area, time limitations and quality luwaks become the main constraints of luwak coffee production, not only for Yekti, but also for other manufacturers in Indonesia. If you see the constraints, it is reasonable when the increase in the production of coffee in Indonesia in 2015 based on the Indonesian Luwak Coffee Association (AKLI) was impressed by minim, that is only five percent of the previous year reaching 120 tons.
The new ibarat coffee commodities are trapped in the archipelago. The existence is still waiting for the best sons of the nation. It is not impossible, coffee must be able to become a reliable commodity as well as placing Indonesia as the best coffee producer and butterni in the world.
