Latar Belakang

Berdasarkan data dari ICO (Organisasi Kopi Internasional) menunjukkan bahwa kontribusi perempuan terhadap industri kopi global cukup signifikan yakni 20% - 30% penanaman kopi dikelolaoleh perempuan, dan 70% lebih terdiri tenaga kerja perempuan. Data ICO 2019 juga menyebutkan Indonesia memiliki jumlah petani kopi terbesar ke-3 di dunia (1,3 juta), tetapi bertentangan dengan tren global, sektor ini didominasi oleh pria, sehingga kebutuhan petani perempuan perkebunan kopi sering kali diabaikan.
