Producers organized through Subak Abian

Producers organized through Subak Abian are smallholder farmers located in the Kintamani Highlands of Bali, Indonesia. They cultivate coffee in volcanic soil, often intercropping with citrus trees, and operate under a traditional, community-based agricultural system.

History

The Subak Abian system is a traditional Balinese agricultural collective rooted in the Tri Hita Karana philosophy, which emphasizes harmony between humans, nature, and the divine. This organizational structure has been used for over 1,000 years to manage resources and irrigation, with coffee cultivation in the region following these sustainable, organic practices for more than a century.
