KOMPAS/FRANSISKUS PATI HERIN

Yanuarius Poor (right) and members of the Catholic Youth community remove pests from crops on Monday (26/8/2019) at a farm in Kampung Bumi Saniari, Teluk Bintuni regency, West Papua.

In 2007, at the age of 34, Patola was riled on seeing that middlemen (tengkulak) were taking advantage of coffee farmers in Enrekang regency, South Sulawesi. Similarly disquieted youths have triggered change in other regions.

Patola decided to do something about the situation. He quit his well-paid job at a seed company and returned to his village to establish a coffee farmers’ cooperative.
