Our Vision is to fair trade of Indigenous products for thriving communities, protected rights, and healthy ecosystems.  KOBUMI was founded in June 2022 through a partnership between the EcoNusa Foundation and 10 Indigenous and local cooperatives from Papua, Maluku, and Sulawesi. As a community-owned business, KOBUMI helps strengthen local economies and protect the environment by connecting community-made products to markets through fair, transparent trade. Profits are reinvested in community development and conservation.

KOBUMI works with communities in some of Indonesia’s richest natural and cultural areas. The products we offer carry the knowledge and care of the people who grow and make them. In partnership with EcoNusa, we provide access to capital, training, and support so communities can grow their businesses and compete in wider markets. As social forestry and Indigenous land rights gain recognition, KOBUMI ensures that Indigenous peoples are not just involved—but lead and benefit from these changes.
