Overview
Nusawara is a coconut sugar supplier and exporter based in Bandung, Indonesia. Our coconut sugar is tapped daily from the coconut flower bud and reduced over wood fire with no additives — sourced through a producer cooperative of 151 farming households in Banyumas, Central Java, with drying, grading, and packing at our partner facility in Citeureup, West Java. Current capacity is 48–50 tonnes/month, scaling toward 150 tonnes/month by December 2026. The line carries eight currently-valid, independently issued certifications — FSSC 22000 (food safety), USDA/EU/Canada Organic, Kosher Pareve, SMETA/Sedex 2-Pillar ethical audit, and Indonesia's CPPOB manufacturing licence — full copies available on request.

FAQ
Organic-certified coconut sugar typically costs more due to certified-farm sourcing, audit costs, and smaller lot sizes, but buyers targeting health-food, natural-grocery, or premium retail channels usually recoup that premium through shelf positioning — the certification itself is a purchasing trigger for that segment.
Coconut sugar is tapped from the coconut palm's flower bud, while palm sugar (gula aren) is tapped from the Arenga or Palmyra palm — different botanical sources with similar production methods. Coconut sugar generally has a milder caramel flavor and a more consistent global supply chain, which is why it dominates export demand.
At minimum, ask for a Certificate of Analysis per shipment and Certificate of Origin. For premium retail or health-food channels, look for USDA Organic or EU Organic certification specifically on the coconut sugar lot (not just the exporter's general status), plus BPOM registration if the buyer is importing into Indonesia's own region for re-export.
Yes — OEM coconut sugar (also called private label or white label) ships in your own packaging, artwork, and nutrition panel instead of ours. The underlying product is identical to our standard bulk line; only the packaging and branding change. MOQ for an OEM run is 15 MT — one 20ft container — higher than our 12 MT standard bulk MOQ, since committing to a full private-label packaging run is a bigger minimum than drawing from standing stock.
