Established in June 2022, KOBUMI is the result of a collaboration between the EcoNusa Foundation and 10 cooperatives representing Indigenous and local communities in Eastern Indonesia. As a community-owned social and ecological enterprise, KOBUMI aims to strengthen local economies and empower Indigenous peoples to protect their rights and preserve their ecosystems. Business profits are reinvested into community development and environmental conservation.

KOBUMI offers an integrated solution for Indigenous community products—starting from transparent, direct purchasing, value-added processing, to logistical distribution that ensures products reach the market sustainably and in line with demand.

Our commodities are sourced from biodiversity-rich regions such as Papua, Maluku and Sulawesi—home to tropical rainforests, mangrove ecosystems, productive marine areas, and hundreds of Indigenous communities speaking over 500 distinct languages. This natural and cultural wealth is embedded in every product we offer.

Together with the EcoNusa Foundation, KOBUMI also provides access to capital, technical assistance, and financial literacy training to help communities increase their production capacity and compete in growing global markets.
