Looking for a coffee or tea alternative?

Try our Roasted Ramon Nut, a naturally caffeine free product with a nutty-cacao flavor similar to coffee beans.

Or perhaps a cup of Certified 100% Organic, Fair Trade, shade grown Sumatran coffee is what you are looking for.

Powerful Earthquakes Strike Padang, West Sumatra, Indonesia
Home to PT. ForesTrade Indonesia

ForesTrade is deeply moved by the outpouring of concern and support for the wellbeing of ForesTrade Indonesia’s staff. We are happy to report that all of ForesTrade’s staff and their families working and living in Padang have been accounted for and are safe. This news is bittersweet, however, since many of their friends and people in their communities were not as fortunate. Rescue and recovery efforts are still underway, and our hearts and prayers go out to our friends in Indonesia.

News on the Ground

Over a period of two days, the city of Padang sustained significant structural damage caused by three powerful earthquakes. As a result, a number of our employees’ homes suffered extensive damage, as well as Bumilindo, ForesTrade’s new processing plant and warehouse. It could take up to a month for power to be restored, and c ontact with our Padang staff continues to be a challenge, although, communication into and out of Padang is improving. We will keep you informed through postings on our website as we receive news and updates from the area.

Offering Support

If you would like to reach out and offer your support, there are a number of good organizations doing emergency response and relief work in and around Padang. Mercy Corps is one such organization that ForesTrade has worked with in the past. Mercy Corps already has an established presence in Padang and an outstanding reputation in emergency preparedness.
