From Farmer to the World: The Success Story of a Local Cooperative Going Global

How partnership with PT Adhi Cahaya Global opened access to international markets.

In a small village on the slopes of Mount Wilis, East Java, spice farmers once sold their harvest to local collectors at low prices. Today, they are part of a global export supply chain through their partnership with PT Adhi Cahaya Global. Through training in harvest quality, drying, and sorting, this cooperative has increased their product value by up to 40%. We buy directly from them, eliminate middlemen, and ensure timely payments. Their products — especially ginger and turmeric — are now exported to Germany, Japan, and the UAE. Many farmers have improved their homes, sent their children to school, and purchased new farming tools. This proves that fair and transparent trade can create real change. We are proud to be the bridge between Indonesian farmers and the global market.
