Indonesia

Rikolto’s history in Indonesia dates back to the 1950s. For over 40 years, we have been supporting farmer cooperatives. In 2021, our projects impacted the lives of 15,310 producers.

Our work in the cocoa, coffee and rice sectors dates back to the late 2000s. As of 2017, Indonesia was one of the first countries where we started up our Good Food for Cities programme. Currently, we are running our Sustainable cocoa & coffee programme, Sustainable rice programme, and our Good Food for Cities programme in the cities of Depok, Bandung, Solo and Denpasar.
