About Indonesian coffee

Coffee was first planted in Indonesia since 1696 century of the Arabica type. Coffee was first planted on the island of Java. Since then, arabica coffee growing and started to be planted in other areas such as Sumatra, Bali and Sulawesi.

The development of arabica coffee plants began to recede with the leaf rust disease terserangnya (Hemileia vastatrix) since the year 1876, which survive only in the highlands (1000 m asl) where the attack of this disease is not so strong.

As an alternative, imported coffee robusta species in 1875. Apparently this type is able to survive against leaf rust disease. Therefore, robusta coffee began to replace the arabica species, especially in areas with an altitude below 1,000 m asl and began to spread throughout the region both in Java, Sumatra, and in eastern Indonesia.
