Toraja

Coffee cultivation

Toraja has been famous for its culture and also for its coffee. Lately coffee production has been lacking and is going downward while demand is increasing. Sauan Subarran, a credit union in Toraja is looking for a method to improve the production and thus the regional income. We are getting involved and will try to assist with knowledge and training.

Agricultural support

Efficient cultivation of produce is of great importance. Demonstration plots will help farmers to learn what to plant when, where and how. The farmers will stay at a campus type building so they can cultivate the land and learn by hands-on experience.

Textile project

Because of its size and the numerous islands Indonesia consists of, many types of textiles can be found in its many regions. However the art of weaving is dying. It is impossible to survive on weaving only. Machine products are taking over. We are looking to find a high-end market in the West to make weaving for income possible again, focussing on one or two areas.
