Opening International Corridors for Verified Wild Luwak.
Iyus Aperto Tarigan — Export & Market Director for Kopi Luwak Coffee, building direct channels so authentic Indonesian luwak reaches buyers worldwide.
Iyus has spent seventeen years moving Indonesian specialty coffee into international markets — from the first FOB Medan shipment to a portfolio that now covers USA, Australia, Singapore, India, and Pakistan. He runs the export desk at Kopi Luwak Coffee with one rule: every container that leaves the warehouse must trace back to a documented wild civet harvest.
His market-intelligence work is what most buyers see first — the country-by-country price reports, the comparative analysis of Indonesia vs. Philippines civet coffee, the direct-to-USA shipping channel he opened in early 2026. "Buyers don't pay premium prices for stories. They pay for paperwork, consistency, and a contact who picks up the phone in their time zone."
He writes for the Kopi Luwak Coffee blog on 17 published market-side pieces covering global price projections, halal certification for export, country-specific pricing intelligence, and the verification chain that justifies premium FOB positioning.
The chain Iyus signs off on.
Every container shipped from Medan carries paperwork that traces the bean back to a documented wild civet harvest. This is the chain.
