- Abstract
Coffee farmers in Central Java have widely cultivated Robusta cultivars. During the last decade, the demand for coffee has increased substantially. The coffee commodity is cultivated because of the high price, which potentially generates income for the farmers. The study aimed to analyse the farmers' income associated with the post‐harvest processing and analyse the factors that affect the post‐harvest processing from coffee farming in the Temanggung Regency. Primary data were obtained from direct interviews with 98 farmers running the coffee farming business. The results show that the product processed in green bean coffee boosted the farmers' income, and the socio‐economic characteristics, extension service, and plan density influenced product processing. The confounding factors influencing the income were the farm size, the age of coffee plantations, production level, and the variable cost. It is recommended that farmers sell green bean coffee by intensifying extension services and increasing plant density.
