Solving the gap within the value chain: Connecting Borneo’s Indigenous Communities to the World Through Value-Added Innovation
Due to complex logistic issues, the farmers and indigenous communities in West Borneo, Indonesia, face major challenges in accessing direct markets. It leads to some difficulties in selling their commodities. Kalara Borneo is committed to bridging this gap by creating a closer and more accessible market. Through value-added products like maram fruit and cacao. We connect our local communities with end consumers while ensuring efficiency of distribution. Furthermore, we guarantee fair prices for the local communities, enhancing economic growth, and well-being. Kalara Borneo contributes to preserve local tradition and the ecosystem while bringing the unique flavors of Borneo to a wider audience.
Pioneer of West Borneo’s First Handcrafted Bean-to-Bar Chocolate
As the first chocolate handcrafted using the bean-to-bar method in West Kalimantan, we bring the authentic flavors of Borneo’s land. Using carefully selected cacao beans and partnering directly with local cacao farmers in Kalimantan, our chocolate is processed entirely from bean to bar, ensuring each piece reflects authenticity, quality, and dedication to craftsmanship. By preserving the natural character of cacao, this chocolate is not just a treat but a flavor experience that introduces the richness of West Kalimantan’s nature and culture to the world.
