Amid popular overseas demand, the Indonesian Plantation Association (GPPI) has prepared to ship local instant coffee packets to stores across New Zealand.
GPPI chairman Delima Darmawan said several convenient store chains in New Zealand had asked the association to make Indonesian coffee brands, such as Kapal Api, available for sale in the country.
“The deal went through after we promoted local produce like coffee, cocoa and products derived from palm oil at this year’s Pacific Exposition in Auckland,” Delima said on Monday as quoted by Antara news agency.
She said the GPPI had reached an agreement with several coffee roasters in New Zealand that would allow them to import green beans from Indonesia.

She went on to say that the GPPI was also able to discuss possible market partnerships with delegates from the Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea and Fiji during the business matching session at the Pacific Exposition.
“We’ve also asked our diaspora friends in Wellington and Australia for their assistance in promoting our local products,” Delima said.
