mongoose eat coffee beans to be taken seeds and if the coffee becomes mongoose.
the bodies of mongoose animals injured by a lack of protein from meat that should be their main food.
"Coffee beans should be a snack food for mongoose, so they need meat as the main food, but the mongoose in captivity is not given animal protein intake.
As a result of these impressions, the market demand for mongoose coffee native to Indonesia dropped dramatically.
In fact, if the previous price of one kilogram of civet coffee can reach Rp1 million, currently not more than Rp200 thousand-300 thousand / kg.
"Now people want to buy Rp200 thousand-300 thousand / kg is thinking long, consequently the volume of special exports of this type of coffee is very degenerate.
In fact, not all civet breeders do the same. There are still many mongoose that are treated well for high quality coffee.
however, until now the condition has not been able to restore the popularity of civet coffee as before.
Therefore, it hopes the government will play an active role in maintaining the condition of mongoose breeding, quality standards, and maintenance of these animals.
