On April 21, 2025, a research team led by Mrs. Olly Sanny Hutabarat and representatives from the TRG (Technology Research Group) conducted a field visit to PT. Sulotco Jaya Abadi, a leading coffee processing company located in Tana Toraja, South Sulawesi. The purpose of this visit was to collect samples of coffee silver skin, a by-product generated during the roasting process, for further analysis and potential research development.
PT. Sulotco Jaya Abadi is well known as a prominent exporter and processor of high-quality Arabica coffee, particularly Toraja coffee, which is globally recognized for its unique flavor and aroma. The company has operated for several decades and implements sustainable farming practices in collaboration with local farmers, promoting environmental stewardship and economic empowerment in the region.
During the visit, the team was given the opportunity to observe the production process, engage in discussions with the technical staff, and collect necessary materials for laboratory testing. This initiative is part of a broader research project focused on the valorization of coffee by-products, with the aim of supporting sustainable innovations in the agroindustrial sector.
