Bank DBS Indonesia Supports Sucden Coffee Indonesia with USD 20 Million Sustainable Pre-Shipment Facility to Boost Local MSME Coffee Farmers | Bahasa

Indonesia, 13 Jan 2026 - Bank DBS Indonesia has disbursed a USD 20 million sustainable pre-shipment financing facility to Sucden Coffee Indonesia. The facility is designed to provide working capital to Sucden Coffee Indonesia, supporting Sucden’s network of suppliers, including smallholder farmers and MSMEs across Indonesia. This initiative also reinforces the shared commitment of Bank DBS Indonesia and Sucden Coffee Indonesia to fostering an inclusive economy and long-term sustainability practices within Indonesia’s coffee industry.

Anthonius Sehonamin, Head of Institutional Banking Group at PT Bank DBS Indonesia “This partnership demonstrates Bank DBS Indonesia' commitment as the trusted partner for sustainable business growth by strengthening Indonesia's agricultural supply chain through the provision of inclusive and sustainable access to financing, in line with our aspiration to be the Best Bank for a Better World. We are pleased to partner with Sucden Coffee Indonesia to advance the coffee industry and strengthen the resilience of local coffee farmers.”

This pre-shipment facility is designed to enhance liquidity for smallholder farmers and MSMEs within Sucden’s supply chain. By providing access to financing at the pre-export stage, the facility helps stabilize farmers’ cash flow while expanding their opportunities to sell products to both domestic and export markets, in line with the spirit of Law No. 20 of 2008, which promotes MSME development through improved access to financing and markets.

The financing complements Sucden Group’s long-term 2050 sustainability vision and its 2025 interim target, which include:

• Annual training for smallholder farmers on good agricultural practices
• Increasing the proportion of certified or verified sustainable coffee within its traded volumes

Recognizing the importance of synergy between financing and sustainability, Bank DBS Indonesia and Sucden share the hope that strengthening this financing channel will reinforce Sucden’s ongoing sustainability initiatives. That way, this support not only helps farmers enhance their production capacity but also strengthens sustainable business practices and delivers long-term benefits across the entire supply chain ecosystem.

Elliott Commissaire, Chief Financial Officer, Sucden Coffee “This facility enhances our ability to generate positive impact and foster sustainable practices along our supply chain which includes smallholder farmers. We appreciate Bank DBS Indonesia’ partnership as we continue building a responsible and sustainable coffee value chain.”

The facility is part of Bank DBS Indonesia’ broader strategy to promote sustainable financing solutions, enabling clients to contribute meaningfully to global sustainability goals. Previously, Bank DBS Indonesia has provided blended finance from Bank DBS Indonesia is Adena Coffee, a social enterprise that focuses on sustainable coffee production and management.
