Sumatra Kerinci Premium Honey coffee is sourced from family-owned farms in the Kayu Aro highlands of Kerinci Regency, Jambi Province, Indonesia, and is organized through the export company PT. AgroTropic Nusantara (AGTN). Since 2013, AGTN has partnered with an association of 680 producers cultivating coffee on two-acre parcels along the slopes surrounding the Kerinci Valley, near Mount Kerinci, the highest volcano in Indonesia, and adjacent to Kerinci Seblat National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site and habitat of the Sumatran tiger.
AGTN’s work extends beyond quality production, with a strong emphasis on community development and environmental stewardship. The organization actively supports increased employment opportunities for women, including leadership at the operational level, as well as roles in nursery management and hand-sorting at the dry mill. In close collaboration with producers, AGTN also promotes sustainable farming practices that help reduce forest encroachment, positioning coffee cultivation as a protective buffer for the ecologically significant Kerinci Seblat National Park.
