        "content": "<p>Local coffee products from West Bandung Regency (KBB), West Java, are\nincreasingly in demand in the global market. Most recently, 4 tonnes of\nMount Tangkuban Parahu arabica coffee worth Rp 800 million were exported\nto Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n<p>The shipment of green beans, the result of a fermentation innovation\nusing pineapples cultivated by farmers in Cibodas Village, Lembang\nDistrict, was released by West Bandung Deputy Regent Asep Ismail\ntogether with Tonas Kopi farmers and the Arjuna Farmers Group in\nNgamprah on Saturday (29\/8\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Asep said the success was encouraging news for the development of the\ncoffee commodity in West Bandung. Moreover, this shipment marked the\nfirst direct export by Lembang farmers to the Middle East region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlhamdulillah, one of them has now succeeded, namely Kopi Poctan\nArjuna or the Tonas Coffee product to Saudi Arabia,\u201d said Asep.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the achievement was inseparable from the\ncollaboration of various parties in encouraging micro, small and medium\nenterprises (MSMEs) and farmers to improve product quality so as to\npenetrate the international market.<\/p>\n<p>He expressed hope that the success of the export to Saudi Arabia\ncould serve as a stepping stone for West Bandung coffee farmers to\nexpand their market to other countries. \u201cHopefully Mr Ananda, Mr Dikdik,\nand Kang Adil can continue to improve their products. They say that\nhopefully next year they can export to Japan,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Asep also conveyed his appreciation to Bank Indonesia, Customs and\nExcise, the West Java Provincial Government, and the West Bandung\nRegency Government for their support in the development and export\nprocess of MSME products.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Tonas Kopi Manager and millennial farmer Dikdik\nRamdaniansyah said the journey to being able to export independently did\nnot happen overnight. He began working in the agricultural sector and\npost-harvest coffee processing in 2015. However, it was only in 2026\nthat he was able to carry out direct exports abroad by handling all\ndocument requirements independently.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlhamdulillah, it is now complete and we have found a direct buyer,\na coffee shop in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,\u201d said Dikdik.<\/p>\n<p>The export opportunity began with a colleague who was in Saudi\nArabia. The colleague then introduced the product to a prospective buyer\nuntil direct communication took place via email.<\/p>",
