DIPLOMASI EKONOMI INDONESIA DALAM PENGUATAN EKSPOR KOPI KE AMERIKA SERIKAT 2012-2017
Abstract
Background: Through policies implemented by the Indonesian
government and collaboration with various parties, it is hoped
that Indonesian coffee will become one of the natural products
that can be developed to support welfare. One step is to
introduce, invite, and participate in large events to introduce
Indonesian coffee. The development of the coffee industry in
Indonesia today not only supports upstream but has moved
downstream (packaging, baristas, and e-commerce) which will
produce more value (added value).
Objective: This study aims to discuss diplomacy strategies
applied by Indonesia towards strengthening coffee exports in the
United States and what factors support the diplomacy strategy.
Method: Method of implementing data is done directly and
indirectly. Directly collecting data from interview observations of
people who have capacity in their fields. Christopher Lamont
considers as a general interview divided into three different
characteristics and categories, namely: (i) structured interview
(structured interview), (II) semi-structured interview (semistructured
interview), (III) unstructured interview (unstructured
interview). In this study, researchers used a method of collecting
data and semi-structured interviews (semi-structured interviews).
Conclusion: From this study it can be concluded that the
diplomacy strategy undertaken by Indonesia will open more
opportunities for foreign exchange earners, as well as introduce
the characteristics of coffee owned by Indonesia.
