The BBC went undercover in 2013, posing as buyers in Sumatra, so as to delve deeper into the dark side of this industry: their findings were nothing short of astonishing.
They discovered that the farmers harvest up to 135kg a month, using captive methods.
The civet cages only measured a couple of feet across, are completely barron & filthy and there is nowhere for the cats to climb.
Their reporters witnessed battery-style conditions, stress-induced behavioural problems, animals being ‘cramped’ in cages & a severely injured civet cat.
This is certainly contradictory to the marketing claims that the bean is ‘wild’.

Our friends at The Guardian also notes that coffee companies worldwide still market the Kopi Luwak coffee with the quirky story of the animal’s digestive habits.
They claim that only 500kgs are collected yearly, thereby allowing them to put a hefty retail pricetag on the beans somewhere in the vicinity of $200-400 per kg, sometimes more!
Although it is impossible to get accurate figures, the global production each year is estimated to be AT LEAST 50 tonnes (possibly much more) farmers in Vietnam,
Phillipines, China and India are producing the bean also.
One single Indonesian farm claims that their yearly production is around 7,000kg, from 240 caged civets.

The trapping of wild luwaks is supposed to be strictly controlled by Indonesia but poachers reportedly capture them,
cage them and force-feed them cherries in order to keep up the demand.
This then pleases thousands of people who have been fooled into buying this ‘rare’ and costly ‘luxury’ coffee.

On the flip side, you have many families in these countries who live well below the poverty line, while trying to support their family & put food on the table.
If you were put in their shoes & offered more money to work in these conditions, you probably wouldn’t even have to think about it, right?

The only way to reduce the demand for the bean is simply not to buy it.
