KARA Company Profile

Coconut has been a part of Indonesian culture and the country’s culinary. The crop itself can be easily grown in equator area – the facts that Indonesia is a country that is passed by the equator line and known as the second country with the longest beach line in the world has been helping Indonesia to become one of the biggest coconut producers in the world1. The demand for coconut products is increasing every day and to meet the needs, the involvement of smallholder coconut farmers surely cannot be separated from its production process.
Every single coconut goes through quite a lengthy process – from the trees all the way to the consumers. The coconuts are being harvested by using traditional means by owners of the groves who are the smallholder farmers. Once the coconuts are harvested, each farmer would transfer their harvest to the collection points where it would then be transported to the processing facilities by using wooden boats and shipped to Sambu Group’s processing facilities in Riau. Upon the arrival at the factory, each coconut is going through a hygienic and integrated processing to produce high quality coconut-based products.
