Bondowoso Regency registered the Java Ijen Raung arabica GI in 2013, with arabica on 9,871 of its 18,338 ha of coffee.
Bondowoso is a regency in East Java and one of the province's main smallholder coffee areas, with 18,338 ha of coffee, of which 9,871 ha is arabica spread over nine districts and the rest robusta (2022 regency figures). Arabica sold as Java Ijen Raung is developed in three of those districts, Sumberwringin, Botolinggo and Cermee. Sumberwringin lies in the Ijen and Raung mountains above 900 m, where cool air suits arabica. The Ministry of Law and Human Rights approved the geographical indication in 2013, with a rulebook that covers cultivation, harvest and post-harvest, and a society called PMPIG-KAJIR was set up to oversee it.
