The Ministry of Creative Economy/Creative Economy Agency presents 10 leading culinary and beverage brands rooted in Indonesia’s natural resources and local cultural heritage at Café Brasserie Expo (CBE) 2026.
“Indonesian beverage products are not merely commodities, but representations of culture, tradition, and innovation. We want to demonstrate that Indonesian creative products are capable of competing in the global market with high added value,” said Deputy for Cultural and Design Creativity at the Ministry of Creative Economy, Yuke Sri Rahayu, Thursday (7/5).
CBE 2026 takes place from May 7–10, 2026, at Hall C1 and C3 of JIEXPO Kemayoran, Jakarta, carrying the theme Taste Circle and the tagline FnB & Lifestyle in One Roof. The brands fostered by the Ministry of Creative Economy participating in the event include Forest Beverage, Prospero Food, Made Tea, Sila Artisan Tea, El’s Coffee, Kalara Borneo, Battenberg Tiga Indonesia, and Cokelatin. Meanwhile, the Ministry’s strategic partners are Bumi Boga Laksmi and Ramoe.
All participating brands underwent a curation process based on product quality, innovation, and export readiness. This participation is also supported by the positive export trend of Indonesia’s beverage commodities, particularly Indonesian coffee. In 2025, the export value of Indonesian coffee reached approximately US$2.5 billion, with an export volume of around 508 thousand tons.
Indonesia is also one of the world’s largest coffee producers, with leading Arabica and Robusta varieties originating from Aceh to Papua. The diversity of flavors and traditional cultivation practices have become key strengths of Indonesian coffee in the markets of the United States, Europe, and the Middle East.
In addition to coffee, Indonesian tea also holds significant potential as a premium and specialty tea product in the global market. Its distinctive flavor characteristics have enabled Indonesian tea to maintain a stable export market across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe.

The Ministry of Creative Economy also sees substantial opportunities arising from the global healthy lifestyle trend, which continues to drive the growth of fermented beverage and probiotic markets. Indonesia’s rich local ingredients and fermentation traditions are considered capable of strengthening the competitiveness of Indonesian products within the global wellness market.
Through participation in Café Brasserie Expo 2026, the Ministry of Creative Economy aims to increase the exposure of Indonesian products and open opportunities for international business transactions. The Ministry also continues to support business players through strengthening production capacity, branding, and access to global markets.
