SCOPI Member Assembly 2026 Strengthens Collective Action to Build a Sustainable, Resilient, and Prosperous Coffee Ecosystem
Jakarta, 10 June 2026 – The Sustainable Coffee Platform of Indonesia (SCOPI), together with its members and strategic partners, reaffirmed the importance of strengthening collective action across stakeholders to accelerate the transformation of Indonesia’s coffee sector toward a more sustainable, resilient, and prosperous ecosystem. This shared commitment emerged as a key outcome of the SCOPI Member Assembly 2026, held in Jakarta under the theme “Navigating the New Normal: Building a Sustainable, Resilient, and Prosperous Coffee Ecosystem.”
The event commenced with a Fun Cupping session, where participants sampled a diverse range of coffees from across Indonesia. The gathering fostered a shared understanding that the challenges facing the coffee sector require stronger and more coordinated collaboration among stakeholders.
The Chairman of SCOPI Executive Board for 2024–2027, Irvan Helmi, opened the discussion through a Context Setting session, highlighting the various challenges currently facing the coffee sector, including evolving global regulations, market access barriers, and the increasingly evident impacts of climate change, which have become the new normal across many coffee-producing regions. He also underscored SCOPI’s achievements in reaching more than 90,000 coffee farmers through its Master Trainers, while emphasizing the need to expand impact beyond the farm level toward broader systems transformation.
In her opening remarks, Merrijantij Punguan Pintari, Director of Beverage, Tobacco, and Refreshment Industries at Indonesia’s Ministry of Industry, emphasized the importance of policy support and cross-sector collaboration in strengthening the competitiveness of Indonesian coffee.
“Government support and intervention are still highly needed in our coffee sector. Coffee can also be recognized as a strategic commodity, considering that many of its actors and practitioners are smallholder farmers,” said Merri.
The call for stronger collaboration was reinforced through a keynote speech delivered by Puspita Suryaningtyas, Secretary to the Deputy for Food, Natural Resources, and Environment at the Ministry of National Development Planning (Bappenas). She emphasized that strengthening the coffee sector requires a value-chain approach that encompasses farmer productivity, downstream development, logistics, innovation, and access to global markets.
“The government has major programs, and associations also have significant initiatives. To achieve greater impact, these programs should be aligned. Strong coordination and improved data systems will enable us to generate the right insights and implement meaningful improvements moving forward,” Puspita concluded.
This commitment aligns with the SCOPI Outlook 2026 presentation delivered by SCOPI Executive Director Ade Aryani, who reaffirmed SCOPI’s role as a neutral and pre-competitive platform that facilitates collaboration among members and strategic partners.
“How can we map the initiatives of our members and accelerate collaboration among members and SCOPI’s strategic partners? This is something we are striving to achieve together as Indonesia’s coffee community, so that we can collectively advance and improve the sector,” Ade explained.
The discussion was further explored through a panel featuring Richard Atmadja, Head of Purchasing at PT Mayora Indah Tbk and Member of SCOPI’s Supervisory Board; Nuzul Qudri, Cocoa and Coffee Programme Manager at Rikolto Indonesia; and Abyatar, Founder and CEO of Adena Coffee as well as a member of SCOPI’s Executive Board. The session was moderated by Nur Jamila, Director of BERAGAM Indonesia and member of SCOPI’s Executive Board.
The panel generated a shared understanding that the sustainability of Indonesia’s coffee sector requires greater investment, farmer regeneration, climate adaptation, and stronger collaboration across the entire value chain. Through the “Innovation Session: Uncovering Root Causes for Collective Action,” participants identified four priority areas for collective action: regulatory compliance and market access, regenerative agriculture and climate change, farmer welfare and the living income gap, and coffee sector governance.
In addition to producing strategic agreements, SCOPI Member Assembly 2026 also featured a Business Matchmaking session that connected sustainable coffee producers with potential buyers from the industrial, retail, and HoReCa (hotel, restaurant, and café) sectors. The initiative was designed to generate more tangible economic benefits for SCOPI members and networks, particularly through facilitating business opportunities for sustainably produced coffee.
SCOPI Member Assembly 2026 was made possible through the support of Rikolto Indonesia, ITFC, Rainforest Alliance, Varion Coffee, Anomali Coffee, Indonesia Coffee Academy, BERAGAM, and Toko Kopi Tuku. The event was also supported by the ACT! Project, a consortium consisting of Rainforest Alliance, SCOPI, and the Cocoa Sustainability Partnership (CSP), with support from the European Union through the SWITCH-Asia Programme. The contributions of these partners reflect the collaborative spirit that serves as a critical foundation for building a more sustainable future for Indonesian coffee.
