Our Farm

Regenerative Agriculture

At EBIER SUTH COKRAN, we cultivate more than just cacao—we nurture ecosystems and support livelihoods. We implement cacao-focused dynamic agroforestry as our farming system.

Cultivating Harmony with Nature

Dynamic agroforestry mimics natural forests, fostering biodiversity and boosting biomass production. By integrating cacao with shade trees, nitrogen-fixing plants, and ground covers, it creates a self-sustaining ecosystem, reducing reliance on synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, allowing nature to do what it does best

Our farms support biodiversity by attracting:

Natural Pollinators like bees, bats, & ants

Predatory species such as birds that help manage pests

These natural interactions lead to healthier cacao trees, stronger yields, and thriving ecosystems.

Building Resilient Ecosystems

Dynamic agroforestry goes beyond farming; it’s a climate-resilient solution. By incorporating diverse vegetation layers, our system enhances water filtration, reduces soil erosion, and stabilizes the land. This is vital in the face of extreme weather events such as floods or droughts. The natural regeneration of the soil—through leaf litter, root networks, and organic matter—further strengthens the land’s ability to withstand climate shocks.

Scaling a Regenerative Business Model

Starting with 30 hectares, we successfully demonstrated the potential of dynamic agroforestry. Today, we are implementing this on 200 hectares, with plans to scale up to 1,200 hectares of cacao cultivation while preserving 800 hectares as a conservation zone. Alongside cacao, we will be exploring complementary crops to diversify revenue streams, supporting both economic resilience and environmental health.

A Model for Global Impact

Our regenerative farming model empowers the Ransiki community while advancing the global movement toward sustainable food systems.

By eliminating reliance on synthetic chemical inputs, enhancing biodiversity, and safeguarding essential ecosystem services, we are pioneering an innovative approach that creates lasting value for people, the planet, and the economy. This integrated system demonstrates that agriculture and conservation can thrive together, leaving a legacy of resilience for generations to come.

The Result: Premium Organic Cacao Beans

Through dynamic agroforestry, we produce certified organic cacao beans of unparalleled quality, crafted for discerning global markets.

Our regenerative practices not only ensure a superior product but also highlight the indispensable role of farmers in preserving reversing biodiversity loss, supporting climate action, and fostering sustainable development.

Cultivation Practices and Processing: Excellence in Every Step

At EBIER SUTH COKRAN, we are committed to producing premium-quality cacao by combining regenerative practices with sustainable farming techniques.

Dynamic Agroforestry

Our approach is dynamic agroforestry, where cacao is cultivated alongside a variety of species to maintain ecological balance.

Active Involvement of Women and the Empowerment of Young Adults in Leadership Roles

A cornerstone of our model is the active involvement of women and the empowerment of young adults in leadership roles.

Farm Management: A Holistic Approach

We also apply a range of proven techniques to ensure the health and productivity of our cacao trees.

OUR PROCESSING UNIT

Our commitment to quality extends beyond the farm, with every cacao bean undergoing a meticulous post-harvest process to preserve its exceptional flavor. The post-harvest team, mostly women who lead in these tasks, ensures that each stage—from fermentation to packaging—is carried out with the utmost care.

Certified Excellence in Sustainable Cacao

Ransiki, recognized by the Indonesian government for its high-quality cacao, proudly holds the prestigious Indikasi Geografis (IG) and SNI certifications. These designations affirm the unique qualities of our cacao, shaped by the region’s rich environment while ensuring compliance with Indonesia’s standards for quality, safety, and sustainability. This recognition enhances the product’s credibility, supports fair trade, and aligns with global best practices.

We are also in the final stages of securing Rainforest Alliance and Organic certifications, reinforcing our commitment to sustainability, ethical practices, and environmental stewardship.

Our Chocolate Factory: Adding Value Locally

We’ve recently launched a small-scale chocolate factory to explore on-site value addition.

The chocolate we produce is crafted from cacao grown by local smallholder farmers cultivating around the EBIER SUTH COKRAN farm estate and are sold locally.

This initiative not only enhances the value of our cacao but also directly supports the surrounding community and farmers, contributing to improved livelihoods and sustainable income generation.
