RoeKI’s Global Journey – ELEVATING INDONESIA’S COCONUT TO THE WORLD STAGE
RoeKI’s Global Journey – ELEVATING INDONESIA’S COCONUT TO THE WORLD STAGE
Since 2015, Roemah Kelapa Indonesia (RoeKI) has been actively engaged in initiatives to strengthen and transform Indonesia’s coconut sector. These efforts began with domestic capacity building, farmer engagement, and value chain analysis—laying the foundation for a bigger mission: positioning Indonesia’s coconut as a global icon of sustainability, culture, and economic opportunity.
By 2017, we took a decisive step into the international arena, bringing “Indonesia Coconut” to the spotlight at world-class events and trade fairs in Germany, Australia, the Netherlands, Sweden, and several other countries. These platforms have not only showcased coconut products but also introduced the world to the deeper story of Indonesian coconut heritage.
1. International Branding with a Purpose
RoeKI’s global branding strategy has centered on three core narratives:
Coconut as the Tree of Life: Grown in the equatorial belt, Indonesia’s coconut is a resilient, self-propagating, and highly versatile crop—where no part goes to waste. From roots to leaves, husk to water, every part serves food, shelter, energy, or craft.
Sustainability at the Core: In markets that are increasingly sensitive to environmental and ethical sourcing issues, RoeKI highlights that coconuts are inherently low-impact crops, thriving naturally without heavy chemical input, while supporting biodiversity and local ecosystems.
Cultural and Social Heritage: Coconut is inseparable from the life of Indonesian communities—embedded in traditions, ceremonies, livelihoods, and arts. It is not just a commodity; it is an authentic heritage Indonesia offers to the world.
2. The Importance of International Engagement
Linking and socializing Indonesia’s coconut story internationally is critical because:
Global Perception Matters: Overseas markets—especially in Europe and Australia—are highly attentive to environmental stewardship, fair trade practices, and traceability.
Sustainability-Driven Demand: Consumers increasingly choose products with proven sustainable origins, making RoeKI’s storytelling a competitive advantage.
Market Access & Networking: International forums open doors for export partnerships, investment, and technology exchange.
3. The Technology and Market Imperative
For Indonesia to fully capitalize on its coconut potential, RoeKI emphasizes the urgent need for:
Technology Upgrades: From plantation management to downstream processing, modern innovations—such as tissue culture, automation, and blockchain traceability—are essential to meet global quality standards.
Expanded Marketing Space: Active participation in global exhibitions, trade missions, and B2B networking events ensures that Indonesian coconut derivatives—ranging from virgin coconut oil to activated carbon—gain visibility and secure premium markets.
4. A Mission that Combines Heritage and Modernity
RoeKI’s work bridges the rich heritage of Indonesia’s coconut culture with cutting-edge global market demands. By doing so, it ensures that this “Tree of Life” continues to nourish communities, preserve traditions, and contribute to sustainable economic growth—while positioning Indonesia as the undisputed leader in the world coconut industry.
