The fact how Indonesia was indeed rich, fertile soil "gemah rimpah loh jinawi", with the world's best quality agricultural produce. Some of agricultural / plantation include the following:
1. Cinnamon
By chance my friend accompanying cinnamon farmers, I recently found out that cinnamon Indonesia is the world's best quality. Especially cinnamon from Kerinci, Sumatra. Cinnamon tree was just in the garden, and the older the tree, the bark of the sweetness of the more qualified. These friends are now assisting the farmers in order to obtain a certification that the product can enter the European or other export destination countries.
2. Tea
Indonesia's Tea was also the best in the world, not least by the Sri Lankan tea. In fact, friends of the Kerinci once told me that even Queen Elizabeth II of England alone the consumption of tea, tea from the ground Kerinci. Unfortunately, branding tea Indonesia defeated by tea from Sri Lanka. Though a well-known British tea brands, sourcing tea from Indonesia. It's stating an official PTP when we walks into the tea plantations in Gunung Mas, Puncak.
3. Coffee
Indonesia's Coffee has the world's best quality, including civet coffee, the only one in Indonesia. Indonesian coffee is characterized by a sense of steady, legit, with nuances of nuts (coffee Papua), citrus aromas (coffee Bali), there is little taste guava. Anyway steady and unique deh! Well, now it has begun to Indonesian young entrepreneurs develop Indonesia's coffee cafe-cafés. Incidentally in Surabaya, I met the owner of the cafe anomaly, which was deliberately 'blusukan' to the affected areas, meeting farmers to buy coffee directly from farmers. He told the ups and downs 'deal' ma farmer. Sometimes different samples sent. But he remains a passion to buy directly from farmers, so farmers can get a good price. Fair Trade. Now even he has been able to export it also coffees. Of farmers in the form of green bean, then roasted or baked (roasted), packaged, kept exported deh. Coffee needs is very high in Europe and America.
4. Cocoa
Indonesia is the third largest cocoa producer in the world. Unfortunately, most are exported, and returned to Indonesia in the form of finished, chocolate delights. Today, some entrepreneurs Indonesia has also developed a distinctive brown Indonesia alone, with similar quality Belgian chocolates. Wearing experts from Belgium as well. I also met a cocoa-producing farmers and have started making their own chocolate, but it was not yet established. Now they still facilitated as well as to improve the quality of their cocoa.
5. Soursop
Soursop from Indonesia sought after by the world, especially in the US and Canada, I knew when I met with one of the exporters of this soursop juice drinks. According to their buyers, soursop Indonesia the best quality in the world, with a good taste. Soursop is a fruit that has so many health benefits, including cancer prevention.
6. Red Guava (Jambu Merah)
Guava Indonesia is also the best in the world. Usefulness is also very much for health. Unfortunately, despite the high demand, but many exporters of fruits in Indonesia bankrupt. Because it involves high transportation costs (up to 60% of turnover; the large companies, MNC, how local businesses can also be an exporter)? and issue warehouse. This is what causes the fruit of Indonesia can not compete with Vietnam and Thailand.
7. Mangosteen
Mangosteen increasingly in demand in other countries. As in New Zealand, Australia, Hong Kong, China. Even now manggisnya skin was made into medicines. In 2007, the mangosteen was the star of Indonesian exports due to high demand from other countries. Manggis Indonesia is considered to have the quality and tastes better than mangosteen from Thailand. This does not include plants, other Indonesian herbal medicinal. Such as ginger, spices. But if, as in agricultural production diseriusin not, we lose much with India and China.
