Understanding the Challenges in the Sustainable Coconut Farming

Indonesia, one of the world’s largest coconut producers, plays a central role in the global movement toward more sustainable and equitable coconut farming production. Despite this significant output, the industry faces multifaceted challenges:


  • Environmental Concerns: The expansion of coconut plantations has often come at the expense of forested areas, leading to biodiversity loss and ecosystem disruption.

  • Economic Vulnerability: Many smallholder coconut farmers live below the poverty line, earning less than US$200 per capita annually . Limited access to quality seedlings, sustainable farming tools, and financial services exacerbates their economic instability. koltiva.com

  • Market Access and Education: A lack of adequate training on sustainable farming practices and dependence on middlemen hinder farmers' ability to improve productivity and gain better market access.


KOLTIVA's Strategic Initiatives for Sustainable Transformation

In response to these challenges, KOLTIVA has implemented a series of strategic initiatives aimed at transforming the coconut industry:
