Organic Arabica Coffee from West Papua is Called Baliem Blue Coffee
The Bailem Arbaica Cooperative set up in 2007, with the assistance from AMARTA USAID has enabled the cooperative to export the Organic Arabica Coffee from the Western part of New Guinea Island to the USA market since November 2009.
The Bailem Arabica Coffee, or commonly called in Indonesia as Wamena Coffee is the first commodity to be exported directly from West Papua, and the first Papuan native export ever done in West Papua history. (West Papua here includes Papua and Papua Barat provinces of Indonesia).
The Baliem Arbaica Coffee is exported to the global market, whereas Baliem Blue Coffee is a locally distributed ground coffee. People in West Papua today already getting used to drinking coffee.
Many events have been organised by the cooperative and also the cooperative attended many events organised by the governments or other business entities in Papua and Indonesia in general to introduce this coffee coming from traditional farmers far in remote highlands of West Papua.
It is of course, more expensive in comparison to what we call "un-organic" and "fake" coffee produced by big coffee companies in Indonesia, but we hope sooner or later, all Papuans will understand and appreciate that the coffee that is produced in their own land is organic, healthy and beneficial for their own health, and on the contrary consuming the "fake coffee" is actually dangerous to human/ consumers.
Organic Arabica coffee from West Papua called Baliem Arabica is now on sale at the first minimarket as well as the first 24-hour shop, and the first shop that is fully owned by Papuan natives at Jalan Raya Sentani, Hawai No. 05, Sentani Kota, Kabupaten Jayapura, Provinsi Papua, Indonesia.
PAPUAmart.com is the first mini-market serving the people 24-hour, and the first minimarket owned fully by Papuan native, and the minimarket that was set up and owned by the Organic Arabica Cooperative farmers who live far in remote villages of Western New Guinea.
