#LEXSTORY A VISIT FROM AN INDIAN's NESTLE REPRESENTATIVE

-
(Today Nestle comes to BMKG Kepahiang to get rainfall’s data of 2016 2017 ).
follwoing text is a side-story of a Nestle's coffee Reasearcher's opinion about Coffee Farm and Farmer in Kepahiang Regency, Bengkulu.

45 minutes of valuable talking with a  https://www.nestle.in/ representative from India. He is from Nestle, and a coffee researcher. He had visited some places around Kepahiang too; for example  (Tanggamus, Kotabumi, Lahat etc) Lampung, Sumbagsel, Bengkulu, and Jambi, only to research about Coffee, how’s coffee farming here, and how to track the economic value of coffee.

He tells me, its all about supply and demand. Fewer productivity can relate to High Rainfall, it causes failed coffee crop so the supply getting lower, and afterall, the price is higher.

Second one, coffee price depend on The Investor. They invest more money in coffee, the price will be higher. Investor are concern about the demand in New York and London.

Farmer in Kepahiang mostly have a high ground coffee farming  most up on the hill, so they have problem with the Irrigation. They only count on the Rainfall. If they want to increase the productivity, they have to use waterpump and solve the irrigation's problem.



Anyway, about the representative,
he's so humble and  kind. Very pleasant to share his knowledge with us, especially about Coffee grounds.
One interesting thing, he stated that LUWAK COFFEE is just a MARKET STRATEGY. Its tastes is not so special as its price.

Now i know Why Nestle concern about GOOD FOOD - GOOD LIFE.

Here are some photos about his visit to our office, BMKG Kepahiang.

Sore ini, Kamis 04 Mei 2017, saya mendapat pelajaran emas di salah satu sudut dalam gramedia Book Store Bintaro. Setelah membaca cepat belasan buku Best Seller pekan ini, saya dapat 1 analogi yang menarik, something valuable to learn, yakni tentang Leadership -Mamalia vs Reptil. Ulasan ini rupanya bagian dari Buku yang ditulis oleh Joseph B. White tahun 2006 , The Nature of Leadership : Reptiles, Mamals, and the challenge of Becoming a Great Leader. White menjelaskan tentang Leadership menggunakan analogi reptilian-mamalian pada sebuah piramida.  Dasar piramida berupa 4 karakteristik , yakni Hasrat untuk berkuasa (A desire to be in charge), kemampuan memimpin, kuat, dan berkarakter. Pada tingkat ke dua piramida, ada sifat mamalia dan reptilia. Tentang Reptil Sisi reptil saya menjadi begitu dominan sejak hidup di perantauan di Tengah belantara Sumatera.

15 November 2018. This is my fifth visit to Kerinci (a regency in Jambi’s Province)   and my second trip to explore this small town. Kerinci is so popular for its Kerinci Seblat National Park (The largest national park on the island of Sumatera). Kerinci is also popular because there is a Volcano, the highest volcano in Indonesia, named Mount Kerinci. I have two reasons why I came back here. First, because Kerinci’s nature is so attractive, heavenly and idyllic.The second, because i have a close friend from this city so I stayed in his house for most of my visit. That’s why it’s an easy way to come and explore Kerinci when he was there guided me.
