On the Ground

Operational Infrastructure

Hendstone manages the complete commodity trade cycle from extraction through to international export and delivery. Our operational footprint spans Indonesia's key resource-producing regions, with our primary base centred on Sulawesi for nickel, Kalimantan and Sumatra for coal, and Sumatra, Java, and Sulawesi for coffee.

Extraction

Direct access to government-licensed mining concessions in Sulawesi for nickel, established mining operations in Kalimantan and Sumatra for coal, and sourcing networks across key coffee-growing regions.

Processing

Nickel ore is smelted at RKEF and HPAL facilities in Sulawesi, producing NPI, ferronickel, and battery-grade intermediates. Coal and coffee are graded to meet international buyer specifications.

Export

Processed commodities are transported via established logistics networks to deepwater ports for shipment to contracted international buyers in China, India, and the wider Asian market.

Quality Assurance

All commodities are subject to independent third-party inspection before shipment, including chemical analysis for nickel, calorific value testing for coal, and grading for coffee. Independent reports accompany all shipment documentation.

Compliance

All operations are conducted under valid government concessions and export licences with full regulatory compliance, including KYC/AML screening, customs procedures, and Domestic Market Obligation requirements for coal.

Operational Regions

Geographic Footprint

Sulawesi

Primary operational base for nickel. Home to Indonesia's largest nickel deposits, 49 RKEF smelters, and 5 HPAL processing facilities. Also produces the prized Sulawesi Toraja coffee variety.

Kalimantan

Indonesia's largest coal-producing region, with established mining infrastructure, river barge networks, and deepwater port access for high-volume thermal coal export.

Sumatra

Major source of thermal coal and Indonesian coffee, producing approximately 75% of the country's Robusta output from South Sumatra and Lampung.

Jakarta

Corporate headquarters at SENTRAL SENAYAN II. Commercial, financial, and administrative centre for investor relations, business development, and strategic coordination.

Partners & Concessions

Our Network

Strategic Partnerships

Hendstone's business model is built on established partnerships spanning the entire Indonesian commodity value chain. These relationships are the product of over two decades of direct engagement by Hendstone's founding CEO, Hendrawan, providing access and execution capability that cannot be replicated without an established in-country presence.

Government Concessions

All nickel extraction is conducted under valid government mining concessions (IUP) in Sulawesi, governed by Indonesia's Mineral and Coal Mining Law. Concessions provide legal certainty of access, defined resource boundaries, and regulatory assurance for each trade cycle.

Off-Take Agreements

Commodity output is pre-sold to contracted Chinese industrial buyers through established off-take agreements. These relationships provide revenue certainty and eliminate spot-market price speculation. Volume, specification, pricing, and delivery terms are agreed in advance.

Processing Partnerships

Established relationships with RKEF and HPAL smelting operations in Sulawesi provide confirmed processing capacity to convert nickel ore into NPI, ferronickel, and battery-grade intermediates required by international industrial buyers.

Logistics Network

Hendstone coordinates with trusted inland transport operators, barge companies, port authorities, stevedoring firms, and international shipping lines across Sulawesi, Kalimantan, and Sumatra to manage the full export logistics chain.

Market Opportunity

The Trade Finance Gap

Basel III/IV banking reforms have created a global trade finance gap estimated at $2.5 trillion annually (Asian Development Bank). Indonesian mining operations with valid concessions and contracted buyers face particular difficulty accessing affordable credit through traditional banking channels.

Hendstone fills this structural gap by providing trade finance directly to concession-backed operations with established export licences and confirmed off-take agreements, connecting private capital with real-economy commodity production backed by tangible assets and contracted demand.

Active Partnership

Hendstone maintains active, on-the-ground engagement with every partner in the value chain, from site visits to concession areas through to direct coordination with smelter operators, shipping agents, and port authorities.

Commodities

What We Trade

Indonesia's Strategic Exports

Indonesia is one of the world's most resource-abundant nations. Its natural endowment in strategic minerals, energy commodities, and agricultural products positions it at the centre of global supply chains serving China, the wider Asia-Pacific, and international markets. Hendstone operates across three Indonesian commodity verticals, each underpinned by strong structural demand, established export infrastructure, and Hendstone's direct operational access.

Nickel mining

Nickel

Indonesia controls approximately 55% of global nickel mine production and holds the world's largest reserves. Battery-grade processed nickel sourced from Hendstone's Sulawesi mining concessions feeds directly into China's EV battery and stainless steel supply chains.

Hendstone's Position

Hendstone's founding team brings over two decades of on-the-ground Indonesian commodity trading experience. Our direct relationships with government concession holders, established logistics corridors, and contracted off-take agreements with Chinese industrial buyers position us to capture value across each commodity cycle, from extraction through to international delivery.

Nickel

Primary Commodity

Indonesian Nickel

Nickel is Hendstone's primary commodity focus and Indonesia's most strategically significant mineral export. Indonesia is the world's largest nickel producer, accounting for approximately 55% of global mine production and holding an estimated 24% of the world's proven reserves. No credible electrification or stainless steel production scenario exists without Indonesian nickel.

Indonesia's position in the global nickel supply chain has strengthened dramatically over the past decade. Following the government's ban on raw nickel ore exports, first introduced in 2014 and reinforced in 2020, a wave of foreign investment, predominantly from China, has transformed the country from a raw ore supplier into the dominant force in processed nickel production. By 2025, Indonesia had 49 operating Rotary Kiln Electric Furnace (RKEF) smelters processing saprolite nickel ore, and five High Pressure Acid Leaching (HPAL) facilities processing limonite ore for battery-grade output.

Indonesia's primary nickel production reached approximately 2.2 million tonnes in 2023, a 53% year-on-year increase. The country now supplies over 60% of the world's mined nickel and processes close to 45% of global primary nickel, widening its lead over every other producing nation.

China is the world's largest consumer of primary nickel, projected to consume over 63% of global supply in 2025. Chinese demand is driven by two primary sectors: stainless steel production, which accounts for over 60% of global nickel consumption, and the rapidly expanding EV battery supply chain. China produces approximately 80% of the world's EV battery cells and two-thirds of all nickel-based cathode material.

Indonesia's geographic proximity to China, its established shipping corridors, and the deep integration of Chinese-invested smelting operations on Indonesian soil make the Indonesia to China nickel trade corridor one of the most important bilateral commodity relationships in the world. Chinese companies hold stakes in an estimated 80% of Indonesia's nickel refining capacity.

The global transition to electric vehicles continues to drive exponential demand for battery-grade nickel. Global EV sales grew 21% through November 2025, with China up 19%, Europe up 33%, and the rest of the world up 48%. Analysts project that global battery-grade nickel demand could double by 2030, even accounting for the growing market share of non-nickel lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistries. High-performance and long-range EV segments continue to require nickel-rich battery chemistries such as NMC (nickel manganese cobalt) and NCA (nickel cobalt aluminium).

Indonesia has attracted over $30 billion in EV-related nickel investment and is targeting a position among the top three global EV battery producers by 2027, with planned annual battery capacity of 140 GWh.

Hendstone finances the extraction and processing of nickel from government-licensed mining concessions in Sulawesi, Indonesia. Processed nickel is exported to contracted Chinese industrial buyers through established logistics corridors and confirmed off-take agreements. By providing trade finance directly to concession-backed mining operations, Hendstone fills the structural funding gap created by Basel III/IV banking reforms, which have significantly reduced commercial bank appetite for short-tenor commodity trade finance in emerging markets.

Coal

Energy Commodity

Indonesian Thermal Coal

Coal is one of Indonesia's most economically significant commodities and has been a cornerstone of the country's export economy for decades. Indonesia is the world's largest thermal coal exporter, with annual shipments exceeding 500 million tonnes. Indonesian coal fuels power generation, industrial production, and energy security across Asia, with China and India accounting for approximately 60% of Indonesian coal exports.

Indonesia's coal production reached a record 836 million tonnes in 2024, driven by strong international and domestic demand. The country's principal coal-producing regions, Kalimantan and Sumatra, benefit from established mining infrastructure, deepwater port access, and efficient logistics corridors that enable high-volume export operations. Indonesian thermal coal spans a range of calorific values, from high-CV premium grades to the sub-bituminous coal that dominates the lower end of the market.

Coal remains the most cost-effective baseload power generation fuel across much of developing Asia. Beyond power generation, Indonesian coal also underpins the rapid expansion of domestic nickel smelting, with coal-fired captive power plants providing the energy backbone for Indonesia's 49 RKEF nickel smelters.

China remained Indonesia's largest coal export market in 2025, importing approximately 211.8 million tonnes of Indonesian coal. While Chinese import volumes have moderated as domestic production rises and renewable energy capacity expands, coal structurally remains essential for China's energy supply stability and industrial flexibility. China consumed over 4 billion tonnes of coal in 2024, and the IEA projects continued import demand through 2030.

India, the second-largest export market, imported approximately 103.8 million tonnes from Indonesia in 2025. India's coal demand is driven by power generation, which accounts for nearly 75% of Indian coal consumption, and a rapidly expanding manufacturing sector. While India is aggressively increasing domestic coal production, with output reaching 1 billion tonnes in fiscal year 2024/25, the quality and logistics advantages of Indonesian thermal coal ensure continued structural demand from Indian buyers.

Beyond China and India, Indonesian coal serves a broad network of buyers across the Asia-Pacific. The Philippines imported approximately 38.5 million tonnes in 2025, while Malaysia, Vietnam, and South Korea all represent significant and growing markets. Vietnam in particular has emerged as a key growth market, with coal imports projected to reach 64 million tonnes in 2026, driven by sustained power sector demand. South Korea's coal imports from Indonesia also increased in 2025, reflecting coal's continued role in ensuring electricity system reliability during its gradual energy transition.

Hendstone maintains established trading relationships and logistics infrastructure for Indonesian thermal coal export. With direct access to mining operations in Kalimantan and Sumatra, established port and barge logistics, and longstanding buyer relationships across Asia, Hendstone facilitates the efficient movement of Indonesian coal from pit to port to international delivery. Hendstone's operational team has over two decades of experience in the Indonesian coal sector, spanning sourcing, logistics coordination, documentation, and delivery management.

Coffee

Agricultural Commodity

Indonesian Coffee

Indonesia is the world's fourth-largest coffee producer, with output of approximately 11.3 million 60-kilogram bags projected for 2025/26. The archipelago's volcanic soils, equatorial climate, and diverse growing altitudes create ideal conditions for both Robusta and Arabica cultivation. Indonesian coffee, renowned for its bold, earthy flavour profile, is a staple of international wholesale markets and a pillar of the country's agricultural export economy.

Indonesia's coffee plantations cover approximately 1.27 million hectares, with Robusta accounting for 80 to 90% of total production. Sumatra is the dominant growing region, producing around 75% of the country's output, concentrated in South Sumatra, Lampung, and Bengkulu for Robusta, and the Gayo highlands of Aceh for premium Arabica. Java and Sulawesi contribute additional Arabica volumes, including the internationally prized Sulawesi Toraja and Java Estate origins.

Over 95% of Indonesia's coffee production comes from smallholder farmers cultivating plots averaging one hectare. This fragmented production base, combined with Indonesia's traditional wet-hulled (giling basah) processing method, creates the distinctive flavour characteristics (heavy body, low acidity, earthy and spicy notes) that define Indonesian coffee on the world stage.

Global coffee consumption reached a record 169.4 million bags in 2025/26, and international demand continues to grow. The European Union remains the world's largest importing market at 45.2 million bags, followed by the United States at 25.5 million bags. Indonesia's primary coffee export markets include the EU, the United States, and Egypt, with the EU being the major destination for Robusta and the US the primary market for Indonesian Arabica.

China represents one of the most significant growth opportunities in global coffee. Chinese coffee imports have grown to 5.4 million bags, driven by a rapidly expanding café culture, the proliferation of domestic coffee chains, and booming e-commerce distribution. China's coffee consumption is growing at a rate that positions it to become Asia's largest consumer market. For Indonesian Robusta producers, whose beans are widely used in instant coffee, ready-to-drink formats, and espresso blends, China's demand trajectory represents a major and expanding market opportunity.

The global standing of Robusta coffee has risen markedly. Robusta now accounts for approximately 43% of world coffee production, up from a much smaller share two decades ago. Robusta prices have reached their highest levels in decades, driven by supply disruptions in Vietnam (where farmers are increasingly switching to durian cultivation), rising global demand for instant coffee and ready-to-drink formats, and growing recognition of fine Robusta in specialty markets.

Indonesia, as one of the world's top three Robusta producers, is well positioned to benefit from this structural shift. The Indonesian government has announced ambitions to become the world's second-largest coffee producer, with investments in infrastructure, processing capacity, and farmer training programmes designed to boost both volume and quality.

Beyond its bulk Robusta production, Indonesia is celebrated for some of the world's most distinctive specialty coffees. Sumatra Mandheling and Gayo Arabica, Sulawesi Toraja, Java Estate, and Bali Kintamani are all internationally recognised origins commanding premium pricing. Indonesia is also the origin of kopi luwak, widely known as the world's most expensive coffee. These specialty origins, combined with the country's growing investment in quality and traceability, are expanding Indonesia's presence in the higher-value specialty segment of the international market.

Hendstone's agricultural commodity expertise and established Indonesian sourcing networks support the efficient procurement and international delivery of Indonesian coffee. Leveraging longstanding relationships in Sumatra, Java, and Sulawesi, Hendstone facilitates the export of both Robusta for industrial and wholesale markets and Arabica for specialty international buyers. Hendstone's logistics and documentation capability ensures efficient movement from origin to international delivery point.

Buy-Side & Sell-Side Intermediation

Commodity Brokerage

Hendstone acts as a specialist intermediary connecting Indonesian commodity producers with international industrial buyers across Asia. Our brokerage services span the full transaction lifecycle, from sourcing and counterparty identification through to contract negotiation, pricing, execution, and ongoing relationship management.

Hendstone represents Indonesian mining and agricultural producers who hold valid government concessions and export licences. Many producers, particularly in the nickel and coal sectors, operate at significant scale but lack the international commercial infrastructure or buyer networks to access premium markets directly. Hendstone bridges this gap with direct access to contracted buyers, structured pricing, and the documentation required for international trade. Our sell-side relationships are built on over two decades of on-the-ground engagement by founding CEO Hendrawan, with established connections spanning concession holders, mine operators, and logistics providers across Sulawesi, Kalimantan, Sumatra, and Java.

On the buy-side, Hendstone serves Chinese and wider Asian industrial buyers requiring reliable supply of Indonesian commodities, particularly processed nickel for EV battery and stainless steel production, thermal coal for power generation, and coffee for wholesale distribution. Hendstone provides a single point of access to Indonesian supply, eliminating the complexity of managing multiple producer relationships across a fragmented supply chain. Our buy-side proposition is anchored by confirmed off-take agreements with established Chinese industrial counterparties, providing certainty of demand for producers and certainty of supply for buyers.

Hendstone manages all aspects of contract negotiation and execution: specification definition, volume commitments, pricing mechanisms (fixed, floating, or index-linked), delivery terms (FOB, CIF, CFR), and dispute resolution. Pricing is benchmarked to LME nickel prices, the Indonesian HBA coal reference, and ICO coffee indices, adjusted for grade, logistics, and counterparty terms. Full due diligence is conducted on all counterparties, including concession verification and export licence checks on the producer side, and corporate verification, credit assessment, and sanctions screening on the buyer side.

Export & Logistics

Indonesia to International Markets

Export & Logistics

Hendstone manages the complete export logistics chain from Indonesian extraction and processing sites to international buyer delivery points. Indonesia's commodity supply chain is operationally complex, spanning remote mining concessions, multi-modal inland transport, archipelagic port infrastructure, and international shipping corridors, and requires deep local knowledge and hands-on coordination at every stage.

Commodity movements begin at remote mining or production sites across Sulawesi, Kalimantan, and Sumatra. Hendstone coordinates inland transport via established road, barge, and conveyor networks to move commodities to processing facilities and onward to deepwater ports and loading jetties. Our operations team, led by Director of Logistics Idawati, maintains direct relationships with local transport operators, barge companies, port authorities, and stevedoring firms across Indonesia's key commodity-producing regions.

Indonesian commodity exports require extensive regulatory documentation: export licences, mining concession verification, customs declarations, certificates of origin, surveyor reports, bills of lading, and compliance with Indonesia's Domestic Market Obligation (DMO) requirements for coal. For transactions involving letters of credit, documentary collections, and bank guarantees, Hendstone prepares compliant document sets meeting the requirements of issuing and advising banks.

Hendstone coordinates ocean freight from Indonesian loading ports to international destinations, managing vessel chartering (Handymax, Supramax, Panamax), freight rate negotiation, laytime and demurrage, and voyage tracking. For the Indonesia to China nickel corridor, transit times from Sulawesi average 5 to 10 days. Hendstone's logistics coordination extends through to destination port discharge supervision and delivery confirmation.

All shipments are subject to independent third-party inspection: chemical composition analysis for nickel, calorific value and sulphur testing for coal, and grading and cup quality assessment for coffee. Independent reports accompany all documentation and form part of the evidence required for trade finance settlement.
