Their ambition is not to "be wealthy" at some point, but to generate annual income above the minimum wage. They experience this FIRST through the two-king principle.

The farmers are all SELF-SUFFICIENT, as they can grow, harvest and process all healthy FOOD (fruit, vegetables and to some extent rice and livestock meat) in their gardens. So they CAN live WELL with what God gives them through the annual garden yields.

Our farmers do not want to buy any more land in order to continue cultivating it and ensure additional coffee yields. They already have enough work with their entrusted gardens and are very grateful to God if they are allowed to define the fair price they are entitled to and sell their maximum yield to us at this price every year.

The minimum wage in the district of Ostmanggarai is about €130 per month (resp. 2,21 Mio. IDR/month). For comparison, in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, it is around 5,05 Mio. IDR resp. €297 (i.e. 2.3 times higher than our farmers, but with a much higher cost of living). Below you will find each farmer's calculated total income (sale according to the two king principle).
