Coffee is the beverage ingredients, usually served hot, and prepared from the roasted coffee bean crop. The uniqueness of coffee, coffee beans from two different places usually have different characters, both of flavor, caffeine content, flavor and acidity. These characteristics depend on the growth, production processes and genetic differences between subspecies of coffee. Hence, in Indonesia, widely known as a distinctive variety of coffee, among others, Toraja coffee, civet coffee, coffee Lampung, Bali coffee, coffee of Aceh, coffee Sidikalang, Gayo coffee, etc.

In general, the coffee production in Indonesia is still low, at an average of 700 kg / ha / year, or only reached 60% of potential productivity. Efforts to improve the productivity of coffee, including by improving the quality of seeds, improved cultivation and processing, research and provision of fertilizer specific formula that is intended for the benefit of coffee plants grow and thrive. Efforts to improve productivity and quality coffee needs to be done, if given, is stable and its prospective price of coffee in the world market.

Increased agricultural production can be achieved through appropriate technology approach, among others, by applying a balanced fertilizer technology specific location. Currently, the recommended fertilization technology is hardly practiced by most of Indonesian farmers, causing fertilization becomes unbalanced. The low knowledge of the importance of garden soil fertility data and carrying capacity of the plant nutrients for growth and production is characterized by low levels of productivity compared to crop genetics.

In support of balanced fertilization method can be performed using several types of single nutrients that are mixed in a simple ( simple blending) , or mixed mechanically ( mechanical blending) or by chemically mixing technology ( chemical blending) called compound fertilizer with nutrient composition or certain formula. While site-specific fertilization is approached by reading secondary data map of soil fertility in a region followed by listening to customer information will condition the garden. Information about the condition of crops farmers can also visually provide basic data for calculation of nutrient composition for preparing a fertilizer that will be manufactured at the factory.

Gramafix® Coffee is a complete compound fertilizer formulating specific for plants and garden coffee. Gramafix® Coffee customers will greatly help farmers obtain fertilizer as well as a variety of nutrients in each tablet at a time. Contain complete Gramafix® Coffee includes primary macro nutrients ( N, P, K) , secondary nutrient ( Mg, S, Ca) and micro essential nutrient ( Fe, B, Bo, Mo, Mn, Zn, Cl) and presented in the form tablet weight of 10 grams, tablet diameter 24 mm and thickness 15 mm, has been registered with the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Indonesia No: T905/ BSP/ II/ 2003.

By using a complete compound fertilizer Gramafix® Coffee, fertilizer needs only 30 to maximum 35% of the total number of single-dose mixture of fertilizer - used by farmers today ( such as Urea, SP and KCl) . One ha of coffee plantations ( TM) , for example, only requires fertilizer Gramafix ® Coffee around 60 kg up to 200 kg / ha / year ( depending on age and plant population) . For example, Coffee TM-2 ( age 5 TH) with a population of 500 trees will require 200 kg of fertilizer Gramafix® Coffee. Compare for instance with a dose of fertilizer recommendation from the Institute for Coffee related that recommends the use of a single fertilizer ( Urea, SP, KCL / MOP) of each 243 kg, 216 kg and 241 kg equivalent to 700 kg single fertilizer mixture.

The reason for the low dose PMLT Gramafix® Coffee is the effectiveness of single fertilizers sown affected by evaporation and carried by the flow of surface water ( top leaching run-off) ranges from 70 percent and effectiveness is available only 30% ( LPT, 2001) . In addition to losing it, the active ingredients of each urea-SP36 and KCl respectively 46% , 36% and 60% . Therefore, the use of fertilizer Gramafix ® Coffee is very effective and efficient in order to increase farmers' income.

How applications Gramafix ® Coffee is to make a circle or disk around the base of the stem projection towards the headers with a distance of 2 / 3, define and do penugalan point - the point of holes for placement of fertilizer in the direction of the four or eight directions of the compass ( 4 point or until 8 points) . Immerse fertilizer Gramafix ® Coffee-half the recommended dose per year - that is to be divided evenly at every point at a depth of 10-15 cm from ground level. Fertilization is done once per 6 months or 2 times per year. When fertilizing at the beginning and or end of the rainy season.

Examples of the coffee plant ( TM 2 / Ages 5 TH Coffee Plant) , with a dose of 400 grams Gramafix ® Coffee / Phn / yr or 200 g / Phn / 6 months, can be made using fertilizer tablets Portugal, 4 point or 8 hole. Coffee Gramafix immersed each item 2-3 ( @ 10 g) per hole per 6 months for penugalan totaling 8 hole fit 8 directions of the compass. After the fertilizer embedded, the hole is closed again. It is recommended that at the time of fertilization, about grass roots clean from pests ( weeds) .

Overall complete compound fertilizer tablet with Gramafix trademark ® Coffee use packaging specifications as follows:

a) packaging in the ( inner packing) : Plastic PE 0.8 to 1, water and air-tight packaging, the capacity of 5 kg ( gross weight) ,

b) The outer packaging ( outer packing) made out of cardboard D / W: a) Size: ( 360 x 355 x 263) mm b) Type of cardboard: K 200/ 150/ K200, c) Capacity: 20 Kg.

By packaging Gramafix ® Coffee as these specifications ensure the transport, storage and handling of inter-regional transport, including handling at the port becomes more secure, inexpensive and easy.
