As a step towards a sustainable people-based economy, OIKN held the Nusantara Liberica Coffee Exhibition (NLCE) last Saturday. The exhibition became a meeting point for farmers, processors, coffee enthusiasts, and the general public.
The exhibition brought together coffee businesses and farmers from various regions, while also opening up new market opportunities.
