Indonesia kembangkan kopi specialty di 12 provinsi

JAKARTA: Terpincut oleh harga komoditas kopi specialty yang bagus, pemerintah berencana untuk mengembangkan tanaman perkebunan itu di 12 provinsi.

“Untuk biayanya, pada 2010, pemerintah menganggarkan dana Rp 28 miliar,” ujar Dirjen Perkebunan Departemen Pertanian (Deptan) Achmad Mangga Barani di Jakarta kemarin.

Dia mengatakan selain memiliki cita rasa yang khas dan tumbuh di daerah tertentu di Tanah Air, kopi jenis ini telah dikenal oleh masyarakat internasional. Jenis kopi itu a.l. kopi baliem, kopi toraja, kopi mandailing, kopi aceh, dan kopi kintamani. “Harganya, cukup tinggi. Kini, di pasar internasional mencapai US$15-US$20 per kg,” ujar Achmad.

Ke-12 provinsi yang akan dijadikan sebagai kawasan pengembangan kopi spesial itu a.l. Bengkulu, Papua Barat, Nusa Tenggara Barat, Bali, Sulawesi Selatan, dan Sumatra Utara. Dari beberapa wilayah tersebut, kini telah dihasilkan sejumlah kopi itu.

Mangga Barani menyatakan saat ini ada tren harga kopi akan terus membaik menyusul adanya prediksi bahwa perekonomian dunia akan membaik dan tingkat konsumsi kopi masih terjaga. “Harga kopi kemungkinan beranjak naik, seperti kakao,” katanya.

Selain program itu, kata Dirjen, pemerintah juga akan membangun pasar kopi di Indonesia, sehingga fluktuasi harga kopi di pasar dunia bukan momok bagi produsen kopi di Tanah Air. Apalagi tingkat konsumsi kopi di pasar domestik setinggi tingkat permintaan di Brasil dan Kolombia, yang bergerak di kisaran 3 kg--4 kg per kapita per tahun.

Konsumsi kopi per kapita di Indonesia, katanya, hanya sekitar 500 gram setiap tahunnya. Tingkat konsumsi kopi robusta akan dinaikkan dari 500 gram per kapita per tahun menjadi 700 gram. Adapun, konsumsi kopi arabika akan didorong ke atas dari 500 gram menjadi 1.000 gram per kapita per tahun.

Dalam skenario Deptan itu, kenaikan konsumsi kopi akan dibarengi dengan kenaikan produksi yaitu kopi robusta dari 650.000 ton menjadi 750.000 ton per tahun melalui pemakaian bibit unggul.

Ditjen Perkebunan Departemen Pertanian mencatat Indonesia merupakan salah satu negara produsen kopi di dunia selain Brasil, Vietnam, dan Kolombia. Namun, volume ekspor kopi dari Tanah Air, sebagian besar berbentuk biji kopi dan berada di urutan keempat terbesar dunia setelah Brasil, Vietnam, dan Kolombia.

Tahun ini, Indonesia diprediksi mampu memproduksi kopi sampai sekitar 689.140 ton yang terdiri dari kopi robusta sebesar 557.190 ton atau sekitar 81% dari total produksi dan sisanya 131.950 ton merupakan jenis arabika. Selain itu, sekitar 469.000 ton atau 68% dari total produksi kopi dalam negeri diekspor ke luar negeri.

Singapore, Sept 18 - Coffee exporters in Indonesia's main growing island of Sumatra have delayed the shipment of between 10,000 and 15,000 tonnes of robusta beans due to high premiums and tight supply, dealers said on Friday.Daily News Alerts

The delays could encourage roasters to shift to Vietnam, where new harvests just started and beans were offered at a big discount to London futures. Earlier this year, though, Vietnamese exporters had also delayed shipments due to bean scarcity. [COF/AS]

Many Indonesian exporters have made robusta advance sales that were too heavy on expectations of good harvests in the world's second-largest producer after Vietnam, but farmers held back on stocks, hoping for a greater rebound in London futures. .

"The crop coming into Lampung is very little. It's the end of the season and farmers are still holding some beans," said an exporter in Singapore, referring to the growing province of Lampung on Sumatra.

"Indonesian differentials are very high compared with Vietnam's. If this continues, then a lot of people will shift to Vietnam which is selling beans at a discount," said the dealer, who has delayed shipment of Sumatran beans for at least a month.

Dealers said up to 15,000 tonnes of Sumatran robustas failed to be delivered to buyers in recent weeks because of problems in getting beans. A strong rupiah also discouraged sales during the current harvests, they said.

Sumatran grade 4, 80 defects were quoted at a premium of $50 to $60 above London's November contract, lower than the $80 last week, but many dealers also offered the beans at a premium of $100, said dealers.

Vietnamese beans from the previous crop were offered at $40 below November contract, while beans from the new harvest fetched a discount of $100 to $110 under London's January contract.

London November robustas rose $12 to settle at $1,524 per tonne on Thursday to track gains in arabica. The contract has bounced from a lifetime low of $1,250 struck in late June but was still more than 30 percent below a peak of $2,392 last July. [SOF/]

In Indonesia, coffee exporters normally agree on export commitments but delay decisions on prices until after beans have been delivered. Beans were offered by farmers at 15,000 rupiah ($1.6) per kg in Lampung, steady from last week.

"At 15,000 rupiah per kg, the price is equal to $100 premium to London futures, but buyers may only want to pay for the beans at a discount of $100. It's a huge loss," said an exporter in Jakarta.

Indonesia's coffee output is forecast to grow by about 3 percent to 689,000 tonnes in 2009, an agriculture ministry official said, while exports were expected to be steady at 469,000 tonnes. [IDJAK366776]
