Previously, Bawadi Kopi Aceh also participated in the Asia-Europe coffee trade exhibition on March 17-20, 2022, which was held at the Halic Congress Center Istanbul, Turkey.

Badaruddin said that visitors to this international coffee trade exhibition consisted of various groups in the coffee sector such as roasters, retailers/wholesalers and others.

"In fact, this coffee exhibition will also be visited by baristas, cafe owners, coffee bean importers, coffee farmers and various other related fields," said Badaruddin.

Meanwhile, the owner of the Aceh Coffee Bawadi business, Teuku Dhahrul Bawadi, gave special appreciation to the Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia (KBRI) in Washington DC for his invitation to participate in the international coffee trade exhibition.

"This is an opportunity to explore coffee exports to the United States, hopefully Aceh's coffee will be better known internationally," said Teuku Dhahrul Bawadi.

Previously, in March 2022 Bawadi Kopi Aceh had also signed a trade contract with Turkish coffee entrepreneurs.

Therefore, Bawadi would like to thank the representatives of Bank Indonesia in Aceh, the Aceh Government and the Aceh Export-Import Entrepreneurs Association for their support for their efforts so far.
