About the Indonesian farmers
Wahyu founded Kojoyo in 2019 with an intent to make economic impact for farmers that were interested to produce specialty coffee. This region because of it’s altitude specializes in Arabica and very little robusta. Along with his experience, his thoroughness when it came production, processing protocols, quickly made it possible for them to start becoming profitable. In 2020, this coop added a new mission, partnering with Indonesia’s Counter Terrorism Body (BNPT), to counter Islamic radicalization agenda by empowering farmers and rehabilitated terrorists on the area the chance for self employment through coffee cultivation and coffee tourism. Out of 250 members, 5-6 of them are ex-imprisoned radical Islamic terrorists who have now turned coffee farmers, thanks to Wahyu! Currently the government has dedicated 100 hectares of land for this project out of which 30 are productive with speciality coffee and expanding the rest in the coming years.
