Luwak coffee has been made an icon by the exhibition organizers as the most delicious and most expensive coffee in the world,” said Zuhairi in his statement.
“Because of this, in the last two years, the Indonesian Embassy in Tunis has been very active in introducing Indonesian coffee. It is hoped that coffee exports to Tunisia will reopen, because in the early 2000s, Indonesia exported coffee to Tunisia,” he continued.

“We see that the momentum and opportunities for exporting coffee to Tunisia are getting wider, both in the form of coffee beans and other coffee packaging products.
