Gov’t Pushes for Improved Quality of Tea

According to data from the Ministry of Agriculture, the total provisional figures for domestic tea production in 2017 reached 139,362 tons. [...]

Gov’t Pushes for Improved Quality of Tea. According to data from the Ministry of Agriculture, the total provisional figures for domestic tea production in 2017 reached 139,362 tons. Meanwhile, this year's production is estimated to only reach 140,084 tons.
Director General of Plantations at the Ministry of Agriculture, Bambang, admitted that although it is growing, the increase in domestic tea production is indeed very small.
However, he said that increased production must also take into account international market demand and the quality of domestic tea so that demand can increase.
 `Yes, it is still small, but we are directing it towards quality. There is still an increase, but we are also considering the needs of the international market,` he said recently.
Therefore, Indonesia must also be able to improve its image, which is followed by promoting its tea abroad. However, before this is realized, improving the image of tea needs to start domestically, one of which is by boosting quality and local consumption.
“Increasing local consumption is usually also followed by international demand; domestic confidence increases international trust,” he added.
For this reason, his party is encouraging cooperation between the private sector or industry and small-scale tea farmers in order to advance the quality of domestic tea. In addition, his party will also distribute aid for tea rejuvenation on smallholder plantations.
This year, said Bambang, the Ministry of Agriculture will distribute funds amounting to Rp6.7 billion to intensify 215 hectares (ha) of tea plantations in 1 district/city and rehabilitate 1,000 ha in 7 districts/cities from 2 provinces.
“At the very least there is a partnership model [between industry or private sector with farmers], so we hope that the industry will help with the difficulties faced by our farmers, but perhaps because of price fluctuations on the market so that the industry's interest in paying attention to farmers is weak. This is where the government needs to be present,” he concluded.

PT KPBN Targets the Sale of 52,000 Tons of Tea This Year

PT KPBN Targets the Sale of 52,000 Tons of Tea This Year

This increase is in line with the increasing production figures of tea managed by PT KPBN’s parent company, PT Perkebunan Nusantara III (Holding) [...]

PT KPBN Targets the Sale of 52,000 Tons of Tea This Year. This increase is in line with the increasing production figures of tea managed by PT KPBN’s parent company, PT Perkebunan Nusantara III (Holding) or PTPN, as well as the target to expand the export market. PT KPBN’s Director of Operations, Ery Erwin Efendi, said that the company will place more focus on developing the export market, both existing and new, throughout 2018. PT KBN has set an export target of 17,457 tons or 33% of this year’s total sales target. This figure is a 10% increase from last year’s actual exports which reached 15,870 tons.
“In 2018, with the increased volume, we will be opening new markets. Some of these markets have actually existed for a while now, but not directly. We will be selling directly to South Asian, Middle Eastern, and CIS countries,” said Ery when he was contacted by Bisnis, Tuesday (13/2/2018).
He explained that Indonesian tea has been exported to a number of markets such as Malaysia and Pakistan for a long time now. However, most of these exports were conducted by traders who buy the tea from auctions or the Jakarta Tea Auction (JTA).
In the future, PT KPBN intends to directly fill these export markets without having to go through auctions in Indonesia.
As for new markets, PT KPBN will target a number of export destinations such as several countries in South Asia, CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) member countries, and Africa. The sales target for this market is 700-1,000 tons this year.
Additionally, according to Ery, PT KPBN has also been visiting a number of countries such as Dubai, India, and Pakistan which have also been targeted as direct markets for PT KPBN’s tea exports. Ery said that even though the sales to Pakistan are still small, this country will become the export gateway to the CIS countries. 
“Through PT KPB’s visits to India, Pakistan, and Dubai, we have met with several buyers in Pakistan. There are already four buyers. We are currently in the process of exploring exports to this country,” Ery explained.
As for the export plans to Dubai, PT KB has established communication with the Dubai Trade Center. Ery said that there have been at least two interested buyers. The company has also recruited a Liaison Officer to market PTPN’s products, including tea.
Aside from the three regions mentioned above, PT KPBN will also re-establish the European market which has lately been weakening due to the anthraquinone issue. However, according to Ery, a portion of the parent company’s tea products from West Java has fulfilled the requirements and even the anthraquinone levels are now lower than the European Union’s standard.
“So the market expansion has to be done, because the volume is very high. That was our target. Frankly speaking, PTPN is currently in recovery, so its production has increased and there have been improvements. Well, the market has also increased,” he added.
Aside from the expansion of the export market, domestic market absorption is also predicted to increase. Ery explained that the domestic tea consumption has been high up till now. Last year, PT KPBN’s domestic sales reached 27,231 tons. As for this year, the sales volume inside Indonesia is targeted to increase by 26.85% to 34,543 tons.
Ery explained that currently, Indonesian tea consumers generally still prefer the orthodox black tea which still uses a mixture of manual and machine techniques in its processing.

Tea Distribution: PT KPBN Targets 50% Contribution from Export Market
Bisnis.com, JAKARTA—PT Kharisma Pemasaran Bersama Nusantara (PT KPBN) is targeting that its tea exports will reach 50% of the total sale in 2019-2020. For 2018, this subsidiary of PT PT Perkebunan Nusantara III (Holding) or PTPN is targeting a total tea sale of 52,000 tons or a 20.64% increase from last year’s sale realization of 43,101 tons. 
PT KPBN estimates that its tea export figure will reach 17,457 tons or 33% of this year’s sales target.
“It is estimated that in 2019 or 2020 it will have reached that figure,” said PT KPBN’s Director of Operations Ery Erwin Efendi when contacted by Bisnis.com on Tuesday (13/2/2018). 
Ery explained that the achievement of this figure will be boosted by increased production and, most importantly, the quality of Indonesian tea. According to Ery, Indonesian tea which has been exported abroad by traders is still inferior in quality compared to the production of other major producer countries such as India, Sri Lanka, Kenya, and Turkey. 
In the future, after the tea quality improves, the company is targeting to increase its direct export market share without having to go through traders who buy the tea at the Jakarta Tea Auction (JTA) or the tea auction center in Jakarta. 
Aside from quality, the anthraquinone level is another issue that has been hindering tea exports to Europe. However, according to Ery, PTPN VIII in West Java now has a number of plantations that produce tea with anthraquinone levels below the threshold set by the European Union. 
Based on PT KPBN’s data, up until 2016 the company has exported to at least 11 countries including Malaysia, Russia, Pakistan, America, the United Arab Emirates, England, Poland, and others. 
Subsequently, PT KPBN will also expand its market and target new markets in CIS member countries, the Middle East, and South Asia.

Expanding Tea Market in Pakistan, PT KPBN Collaborates with Banks
Bisnis.com, JAKARTA—PT Kharisma Pemasaran Bersama Nusantara (PT KPBN) is focused on making Pakistan one of the target countries for expanding the market to export tea products by collaborating with domestic banks
PT KPBN’s Director of Operations Ery Erwin Efendi said that Pakistan is key to entering the other target export markets of this subsidiary of PT PT Perkebunan Nusantara III (Holding) namely the CIS member countries which were part of the Soviet Union.
“Pakistan is our key to entering the CIS region. Its port is in Karachi,” he said when contacted by Bisnis on Tuesday (13/2/2018).
Ery explained that even though Pakistan has a lot of demand and is the key to entering the market for CIS countries, its payment system which is still semi-traditional becomes a challenge in the country.

PTPN TEA SALES: Export Market Becomes the Driver. Thus, PT KPBN is targeting sales of 52,000 tons this year. This target is in line with the increasing production figures for tea managed by PT KPBN's parent company, PT Perkebunan Nusantara III (a plantation holding company), and the expansion of export markets. KPBN Operations Director Ery Erwin Efendi said that his company will focus increasingly on expanding existing export markets and creating new markets throughout 2018. PT KPBN has set an export target of 17,457 tons, or 33% of total sales this year. This figure represents a 10% increase over last year's export volume of 15,870 tons. `[For] 2018, with increasing volume we will open up new markets. Some of these markets have actually existed for a long time, but not directly,` said Eri when contacted by Bisnis, Tuesday (13/2). He explained that Indonesian tea has actually long been exported to markets such as Malaysia and Pakistan. But most of these exports were made by traders who purchased the tea at auction or at the Jakarta Tea Auction (JTA). In the future, his company intends to be able to enter these export markets directly, without going through domestic auctions. Regarding new markets, PT KPBN will target several export destinations such as countries in South Asia, member states of the CIS [Commonwealth of Independent States]/breakaway Soviet states, and Africa. Sales to these markets are targeted to reach 700-1,000 tons this year. Ery also said that his company has visited several other countries, such as Dubai, India and Pakistan, which are also being considered as direct markets for KPBN tea exports. The company will also strengthen the European market, which recently has been weakened by the issue of the anthraquinone limit. According to Ery, some of the tea products managed by the company's parent company in West Java have fulfilled the anthraquinone content requirements as specified by the European Union. Ery explained that achievement of these figures will be driven by increased production and, most importantly, the quality of Indonesian tea. Ery explained that Indonesian tea, which up to this point has been exported abroad by traders, still lags behind in terms of quality compared to the products of other large producing countries, such as India, Sri Lanka, Kenya and Turkey. Besides the expansion of export markets, domestic market absorption is also expected to increase. Ery explained that domestic tea consumption has always been high. This year, domestic sales volume is targeted to increase 26.85% to 34,543 tons. Ery explained that at this time, the majority of Indonesian tea consumers still prefer orthodox black tea, which is processed using a mixture of manual techniques and machines.   QUALITY Meanwhile, based on data from the Ministry of Agriculture, domestic tea production for this year is predicted to increase to 140,084 tons, with a cultivated area of 113,808 hectares (ha). This figure represents an increase of just 0.52% compared to the provisional production figure from last year. The Ministry of Agriculture's Director General of Plantations, Bambang, acknowledged that despite the growth, the increase in domestic tea production, which is less than 1% compared to last year, is indeed very small. However, he explained that increased production must also consider the needs of the international market and the quality of domestic tea, so that demand can continue to increase. `Yes it is still small, but we are directing it towards quality. There is still an increase, but we are also considering the needs of the international market,` he said. Therefore, Indonesia must also improve its image, followed by promotion of its tea abroad. However, before this can be realized, improvement of the image of tea must start domestically with efforts to increase quality and local consumption. Thus, his office supports cooperation between private industry and smallholder tea farmers in order to advance the quality of domestic tea. Additionally, his office will also distribute assistance for the rejuvenation of tea in smallholder plantations. Bambang said that this year the Ministry of Agriculture will distribute funds amounting to Rp6.7 billion to intensify 215 ha of tea plantations in 1 district/municipality and rehabilitate 1,000 ha in 7 districts/municipalities in 2 provinces.
