85% of the cinnamon in today’s world market originates from Indonesia. Most of it grows in one unique area on the island of Sumatra, called Kerinci (Jambi province). This world largest cassia plantation is known for its high quality raw material. It is coincidentally also located at the center of Sumatra island which is the world largest provider of patchouli (also known for its high quality oil). Cassia Co-op is the first cinnamon processing and exporting company to set-up in Kerinci, at the heart of the cinnamon plantations.
Our mission is to export cinnamon products from Indonesia while removing middlemen from the supply chain. As a result linking farmers with end-users and vice versa in order to create transparency and interdependency. Creating a fair and efficient supply chain while having a sustainable positive impact in Sumatra, Indonesia.
