   The distance between the coffee plantations on the slopes of the mountain with a peasant's house is approximately 2 hours by foot. Therefore, the farmers usually often stay on the farm, especially during harvest. State Electricity Company has not been able to reach the Karang Tengah village. Even so, the villagers can harness the river flow to be converted into electric power.



   Farmers do not have enough capital to buy fertilizer and pesticides. Even so, the coffee plants can grow fast and produce high- quality coffee beans. They usually harvest once a year in May or sooner if the rainy season lasts longer. In the treatment, the farmers just do simple things like weeding the grass out which grow under coffee plants and cut the young branches when the coffee is almost close to harvest time. So, the costs of coffee cultivation can be reduced and the maximum benefit can be obtained because they sell in the form of dried coffee beans. In the coffee harvest, they will stay on the farm to keep the beans while being dried.
