A new coffee known as Kopi Kasuari, or Kasuari Coffee, has been officially launched in Merauke, South Papua, 23 September 2025. The coffee is introduced as a distinctive product representing both the cultural identity and economic aspirations of the local community.

The coffee is positioned not only as an agricultural product but also as an emblem of Merauke’s identity and a driver of local development.

The cassowary is a symbol of strength and endurance for the people of Papua, and this coffee carries that same spirit,”
