We are excited to share the launch of the latest kratom documentary, “Daun Harapan“ (“A Leaf of Hope“), a deep dive into the world of kratom farming in Indonesia. This film highlights the dedicated 135,000 kratom farmers of Kapaus Hulu, located in the heart of West Kalimantan, Indonesia, and showcases their stories, struggles, and the crucial role kratom plays in their communities.
Kapuas Hulu Regency, situated in the West Kalimantan province of Indonesia, is known for its strategic location in the upper reaches of the Kapuas River, the longest river in the country. This regency plays a vital role in the river’s drainage system, encompassing vast areas of tropical rainforests and wetlands that are crucial to the region’s biodiversity and ecosystem.
Heart of Borneo
Kapuas Hulu is also a gateway to the Heart of Borneo, making it an important area for environmental conservation efforts and sustainable development initiatives in Indonesia.
Kratom is not only a part of the cultural fabric of Indonesia but also a vital economic resource for many, particularly in West Kalimantan. For the kratom farmers of Kapaus Hulu, kratom is more than just a crop; it’s a lifeline that sustains families and empowers communities. This documentary offers an intimate look into the lives of these farmers, their traditional cultivation methods, and the close-knit relationships we have formed with them over the years.
This is why we take kratom seriously and understand the significant impact it has on the lives of Indonesian kratom farmers and consumers in the United States. Through this film, we hope to convey the importance of supporting ethical kratom farming and the communities it uplifts.
We invite you to watch “Daun Harapan”, which beautifully captures the essence of kratom farming and the hope it brings to these regions. September 10th 2024 will be the Documentary release date. We will have the link live below and a full viewable version at the bottom of the blog post.

The film explores traditional kratom cultivation practices, economic benefits, and social changes brought about by Kratom farming in West Kalimantan.
Our Friends in Indonesia
Our friends in Indonesia rely on fair and proper wages to support their families and communities, enabling them to produce clean, high-quality kratom products. These fair wages not only improve their living conditions but also empower them to invest in education, healthcare, and sustainable farming practices, contributing to a better quality of life for themselves and future generations.
Not only does kratom provide relief to consumers, but it also helps farmers in Indonesia who grow and harvest the plant. By purchasing kratom from trusted farmers, we can make a significant difference in the lives of over 220,000 kratom farmers in Indonesia.
These farmers rely on the income generated from kratom to support their families and communities. By buying it, we can help these farmers earn a living wage and improve their quality of life. Additionally, kratom farmers can use the money they earn to invest in their communities, such as building schools and providing healthcare. By supporting the Appuri kratom farmers, we can help create a bright future.
