Abstract

Coffee is one of the most important commodities and plays a crucial role in the country’s economy. In East Java, Malang Regency stands out as the largest coffee plantation area, with 20,595 hectares and a production of 13,047 tons in 2021. Three key players in the coffee supply chain are: farmer groups as suppliers, Wonosantri as manufacturers, and roasters as retailers. The coffee supply chain is susceptible to risks that can hinder its sustainability. This research aims to analyze the risks in the coffee supply chain concerning sustainable coffee production. The Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) method is employed for this purpose. FMEA identifies and assesses potential failure risks within the coffee supply chain. The results indicate seven identified risks at suppliers, seven at manufacturers, and six at roaster. The supplier’s highest RPN is the risk of plant pests and diseases (A2) with an RPN of 343, the manufacturer’s highest RPN is green bean defects (B4) with an RPN of 448, and the roaster’s highest RPN is nondegradable packaging waste (C3) with an RPN of 392. This study concludes that FMEA is a suitable method for identifying risks and enhancing the sustainability of the coffee supply chain.
