Environmental Enhancement Activities Coffee
Needs assess- ment
(Oct.2016)
Training of trainers and lead farmers on environmentally friendly coffee farming & processing in Toraja and Gayo (Mar 2017) Training of target SME lead farmers in environmentally friendly coffee farming and processing
(Jan 2018)
Monitoring environmen tal progress
(Apr-May 2018)
Training and monitoring were conducted in partnership with Indonesia Coffee and Cocoa Research Institute (ICCRI-Jember)
October 2016 – May 2018; three training sessions with 80 participants (lead farmers and agricultural extension officers) from Aceh and South Sulawesi
Sustainable Coffee Production and Processing Training Subjects
Land preparation Seedlings, vegetative propagation techniques and planting Maintenance, pruning, weeding, etc. Pest and disease management Fertilizing /composting Post-harvest handling Processing and waste management Coffee farming and processing technologies Basic tasting/ coffee grading Field trip to Bondowoso organic coffee farming
What techniques have been adopted and how have they improved farmer coffee production?
Adopted techniques
Results of technique application
Faster compost making Pruning techniques Vegetative propagation techniques (e.g., cutting, grafting) Pest and disease control Latest coffee technology/machinery Roasting techniques Shade tree management Post-harvest handling
Healthier, more robust plants with more yield Good seedlings with preferred characteristics (e.g., strong roots, good taste, high yield, etc.). Reduced pest and disease occurrence. Reduced labour Better coffee cherry quality Better green bean quality
Some Examples of Adopted Practices

Recommendations
- Adoption of environmentally friendly coffee-farming techniques
is good for the environment and can also potentially improve coffee production and market access.
- Teaching farmers sustainable agricultural practices has the
potential to increase production without expanding coffee- growing areas, which could lead to further deforestation.
- Farmers appear to feel secure producing environmentally friendly
and sustainably certified coffee when the price and market are good and relatively stable.
- Governments should consider linking Arabica coffee farmers
with companies that focus on sustainable coffee.

Workshop introducing SCORE-Cleaner Production Tring 1: Wainorkplace Collaboration & 5 S On-site consulting
- n Workplace
Collaboration & 5 S Training 2: Resource Efficiency & Cleaner Production
On-site consulting on resource efficiency & cleaner production
Workshop to report SME progress
Field trip to observe good practices on cleaner production
Training and technical assistance are based on ILO’s SCORE-(Sustaining Competitive and Responsible Enterprise) Resource Efficiency and Cleaner Production Program and were undertaken in partnership with ILO’s licensed Business Export Development Organization (BEDO-Bali). SCORE aims at improving SME’s working conditions and productivity through workplace cooperation and leaner and cleaner production. SCORE program implementation: Sept.2017 – April 2018S 12 SMEs received 2 in-class training sessions on workplace collaboration & cleaner production, 10 of which also received 6x one-on-one in-factory
- consulting. The 10 SMEs represent over 600 workers
How have adopted practices contributed to cleaner and more efficient production ?
Adopted practices
How the practices contribute to cleaner production and efficiency Improved communication between management and employees Clean and decluttered working spaces provide a healthier, safer, and more pleasant work environment. The new sequential production layout increased productivity The FIFO system promotes more efficient use of raw materials and avoids unnecessary waste and expired items. Reduced electricity use Reduced pollution Reduced waste/ prolonging of by- products life cycles 8 companies report that improved communication has helped avoid production mistakes and reduced production-reject rates and waste by 4 to 20 per cent. 7 companies reported that their employees were more motivated as a result of the improved work environment. 3 companies reported that the new layout increased production (ranging from 5 to 40 per cent) while using the same number of employees. 9 companies applying the FIFO inventory system reported less time spent storing and finding supplies, thus increasing company efficiency. 4 companies reported reduced electricity use/unit of product. 1 company reported reduced pollution. 2 companies reported reduced waste/prolonging of by-products life cycles.
Some Examples: Before and After Program Implementation

Lessons Learned from Apparel and Footwear SMEs
Active involvement and support by company owners and senior management from the start of the program is critical to success. The owner’s business vision shapes the direction and extent of the company’s environmental improvements. All 10 companies recognized the importance of improving communication and cooperation between management and employees. This is the foundation for environmental and other improvements. SMEs practising 5S have reduced wasted employee time and effort, excess inventory waste, and rejected-products waste. Resource-efficiency measures have helped to reduce production waste, pollution, and energy consumption. SMEs are more likely to implement cleaner-production measures when they can see the economic benefits (e.g., reduced costs, increased employee productivity). The SMEs noted that the one-on-one coaching and site visits were essential to their success. They appreciated that the program was not merely theoretical, but focused on concrete actions and change.
