Bank Indonesia (BI) Tegal is actively supporting the expansion of Pekalongan coffee to penetrate the prestigious European export market. This initiative involves comprehensive training and curation programs designed to ensure that local coffee beans meet international specialty standards. By enhancing the quality of both the raw product and the processing techniques, BI Tegal aims to elevate the global competitiveness of Pekalongan’s agricultural commodities. This strategic intervention is expected to open new trade corridors and establish long-term partnerships with European coffee importers and distributors.
The central bank’s support extends to facilitating business matching sessions and participation in international trade exhibitions. These platforms allow local farmers to showcase their unique coffee profiles directly to global buyers, fostering trust and brand recognition. Collaborative efforts with the local government are also being intensified to improve the production infrastructure and logistical efficiency for exporters. Moving forward, the successful entry into the European market is envisioned as a catalyst for sustainable economic growth and increased foreign exchange earnings for the Pekalongan region.
