Coffee investors sought

JAKARTA (JP): The Southeast Sulawesi administration is seeking
local and foreign investors to open coffee plantations.

The province's plantation service chairman, Soewondo, said in
Kendari yesterday that there were at least 10,000 hectares on
which Arabica coffee could be planted.

He said most of the land was in the northern part of Kolaka
district.

Locals there have developed 2,000 hectares of coffee
plantations with financial assistance from Japan's Overseas
Economic Cooperation fund. (bnt)
