The factory is among the most efficient and modern in the world. Farms range from one to four acres in size and are inter-planted with fruits and vegetables, allowing farmers to be more self sufficient in times of volatility. Farmers are also able to deliver their beans directly to the factory, cutting out middlemen, therefore providing them higher prices for their valuable product, and direct access to export markets. The beans delivered to the factory are grown at elevations ranging from 3,200 to 6,000 feet. Most fertilization is done with organic matter because of the high cost of imported fertilizers. The factory enables the Holland Coffee Group to offer a custom prepared Sumatra for each of its customers. Historically, one of the problems with Sumatra coffees was inconsistent preparation with wildly fluctuating cup characteristics. |

| Gayo Mountain Coffee® Due
to the current political situation and social unrest in Indonesia, our factory
has increased efforts to provide a stable and rewarding environment in order
to maintain it's excellent record in regards to employment stability and
quality of product. The daily operations of the factory and movement of
the coffee are and will remain vital to the stability of this region. In
recent years, the average salaries have dramatically increased and turnover
has been very low, thus providing a stable and experienced staff. The factory,
opened in the mid 80's during a period of unparalleled growth and prosperity
in Indonesia. It was a model employer until the early 90's, when local management
and government involvement led to ever decreasing quality levels in terms
of product management and profitability. The Holland Coffee Group has been
able to bring back stability, quality, profitability, and is proceeding
with medium to long-term projects in order to continuously improve the reputation
and consistency of the Gayo Mountain Coffee ® and the living standards of
its workers and the coffee growers:
Our goal continues to be to offer and deliver
a custom prepared Sumatra for each and every one of our customers. We
invite you to share in our enthusiasm in being a strong economic and social
support in this region and rebuild the Aceh economy.
