INDUSTRY.co.id - Tangerang Selatan - One of the aesthetic coffee exhibited at the Exhibition & Expo Kopi Nusantara 2018, at Intermark Hall, BSD, Tangerang, Friday (9/3/2018) is a type of coffee liberika. This type of coffee is still rare in Indonesia, rather than two other types of arabica and robusta. The region producing the type of liberica coffee is the province of Jambi.

The exhibition and Expo was held in order to commemorate the launching of National Coffee Day initiated by the board of DPP Dewan Kopi Indonesia (Dekopi). This national-scale exhibition was held from March 9-11, 2018.

Head of Industry and Trade Agency of Jambi Province Ariansyah revealed that this type of coffee is one of the unique types of coffee in Jambi. The uniqueness of the coffee is because it grows and breeds in the lowlands and peatlands.

Although the quality and hype still inferior to the type of robusta coffee and arabica, liberica has a more expensive selling price.

"liberika sold for 120 thousand/kilo. If arabika or robusta the price ranged between 60-70 thousand/kilo ," said Ariansyah when found in the Exhibition & Expo Kopi Nusantara 2018.

For example, one kilogram of liberated coffee beans when processed only to about 100 grams of ground coffee, while with the same amount, arabica and robusta coffee can produce 700 grams of ground coffee. The lack of processed products is caused by the thicker peel of the coffee beans than the arabica and robusta coffees.
