Indonesia is one of the world’s largest coffee producers, with millions of smallholders depending on coffee as their main livelihood. From Aceh to Toraja, each bean represents the hard work of farming communities that keep this industry alive. But as sustainability and transparency become key requirements in global trade, the way coffee is produced and verified must evolve.

With coffee now included under the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), exporters and roasters are required to prove that every shipment is legally sourced, traceable, and free from deforestation. Certifications such as Rainforest Alliance and Fairtrade have long supported sustainable coffee production, yet the EUDR demands an additional layer of geolocation-based verification and supply chain transparency.

For many Indonesian producers and exporters, this shift represents both a challenge and an opportunity to increase supply chain transparency, boost buyer confidence, and remain competitive in global markets.

Koltiva, a Swiss-Indonesian agritech innovator, supports this transformation through digital platforms, field-level verification and coaching, and tailored advisory services. Its end-to-end solutions, KoltiTrace, for traceability and KoltiSkills, for field training and verification, complement existing sustainability frameworks by recording every stage of production, from farm to export, while equipping producers and field agents with the knowledge to meet global standards. KoltiTrace also integrate with tools such as the Cool Farm Tool to monitor greenhouse gas emissions and guide climate action.

Transforming Coffee Supply Chains through Digital Traceability

Operating across major origins, including Indonesia, Colombia, Mexico, Ivory Coast, Uganda, Ethiopia, and Brazil, Koltiva helps enterprises build ethical, transparent, and inclusive supply chains by digitizing every step from farm to factory, combining geolocation mapping, sustainability coaching, and digital payments to ensure verified impact.

Koltiva’s work addresses three urgent challenges facing the coffee sector today:

The growing complexity of global regulations such as EUDR, CSRD, and CSDDD
The exclusion of millions of smallholder producers from modern supply chains
Increasing consumer demand for sustainably sourced and traceable products

By connecting fragmented networks into a single digital ecosystem, Koltiva enables coffee businesses to meet compliance, mitigate climate risk, and unlock market opportunities—while empowering producers to increase productivity, resilience, and income.

Indonesia’s Coffee Industry Leading the Way in Sustainable Transformation

Across Indonesia’s coffee regions, sustainability is no longer just about certification checklists—it’s about proving impact through credible data. In Aceh’s Gayo highlands, Adena Coffee partnered with Koltiva to digitize traceability for 1,900 smallholders across 30 villages, ensuring every shipment is verifiably deforestation-free and EUDR-compliant.

In East Java, PT Asal Jaya scaled operations to 35,000 tonnes per year while maintaining full transparency through supplier mapping and tailored agronomic training. PT IndoCafco, part of the Ecom Coffee Group, is pioneering low-emission coffee farming by leveraging KoltiTrace and the Cool Farm Tool to monitor emissions and identify on-farm mitigation strategies.

In an era where sustainability and compliance are no longer optional, Koltiva stands out as a strategic ally for coffee businesses. Whether you're a boutique roaster or a multinational exporter, Koltiva’s ecosystem equips you to meet international standards, unlock new opportunities, and build resilient supply chains rooted in transparency and equity.
