Abstract

Coffee farmers in Central Java have widely cultivated Robusta
cultivars. During the last decade, the demand for coffee has
increased substantially. The coffee commodity is cultivated
because of the high price, which potentially generates income
for the farmers. The study aimed to analyse the farmers’
income associated with the post-harvest processing and anal�yse the factors that affect the post-harvest processing from
coffee farming in the Temanggung Regency. Primary data
were obtained from direct interviews with 98 farmers running
the coffee farming business. The results show that the product
processed in green bean coffee boosted the farmers’ income,
and the socio-economic characteristics, extension service, and
plan density influenced product processing. The confound�ing factors influencing the income were the farm size, the
age of coffee plantations, production level, and the variable
cost. It is recommended that farmers sell green bean coffee by
intensifying extension services and increasing plant density.
