Original Report
2024 Benchmark Report: Living Income Report (with Living Wage Annex) for Rural Aceh, Indonesia
The report on estimating a living income for coffee farmers in Aceh, Indonesia, was commissioned by the International Coffee Organization (ICO), under the aegis of its larger work with the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Trade, Indonesia Coffee and Cocoa Research Institute (ICCRI) and Sustainable Coffee Platform of Indonesia (SCOPI). Indonesia is the fourth largest producer and exporter of coffee in the world. Aceh was selected as the target research area because the province is the third largest producer among provinces in Indonesia and it was also prioritized as a target area for research by both the Government and the other main stakeholders. The living income is defined as an income required by a household in this case for a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children) to attain a decent standard of living. The estimation process utilized the Anker Methodology®, and determined the basic costs of the necessary items required for decent living, i.e., food for a nutritious and balanced diet, healthy and safe housing, non-food-non-housing (NFNH) items, and contingency expenses.
