Lampung will hold an international exhibition on the coffee processing industry at Pringsewu regency from May 3 to 5.
“The 2018 CoffeeMach exhibition is the first of its kind in Indonesia,” said Bayu Robiansyah, head of the committee and director of PT Kreasi Primatama Indonesia, on Tuesday to Antara.
He said previous coffee exhibitions were more on the retail side, alongside barista competitions.
The 2018 CoffeeMach will have displays of coffee machines and their handling methods.
Bayu said the event is supported by Lampung provincial administration as well as international coffee companies, such as Bühler from Germany.
“The event will showcase a number of coffee machines, such as grinders, mixers, roasters and blenders,” he added.

In addition to the exhibition, there will be a workshop on the retail business, with speakers who are experts on coffee, international trade and baristas.
The 2018 CoffeeMach will also be joined by Indonesian coffee associations, such as the Indonesian Coffee Exporters Association (AEKI).
Around 500 people from 20 countries will participate in the event.
Pringsewu was selected to hold the exhibition as it is the economic center of three regencies in Lampung, which is also known as the third-biggest robusta coffee producer in Indonesia.
Bayu said Indonesia was one of the biggest coffee producers and exporters in the world. It is also known to have its trademarks, such as luwak and Mandailing.
Coffee is the fourth-biggest Indonesia foreign exchange income after palm oil, rubber and cacao.
The 2018 CoffeeMach is expected to be a successful business platform for producers and consumers. (wng)
