In response to this rising demand, PT. Agro Bumi Sumatera exists as a leading areca nut supplier and exporter committed to quality and sustainability.
We understand that the key to success in export markets is product consistency. That is why we actively open wide partnership opportunities with areca nut farmers.

Grade 90-95 is the highest quality standard we set, ensuring the product is ready to compete in premium global markets.
This article sets out the Grade 90-95 criteria in detail as a required guide for farmers and collecting partners who want to build long-term partnerships and supply us areca nut of the highest quality.
This standard transparency is also intended to give international buyers clarity on the strict selection process we run to protect the export grade of our product.
Orange Areca Nut Grade 90-95 Criteria: PT. Agro Bumi Sumatera Premium Standard
Outer skin colour – bright, even orange
Areca nut in Grade 90-95 must have a bright orange outer skin, even in tone and free of significant patches or blemishes.
This colour consistency is a key indicator that the fruit reached optimal ripeness and was harvested at the right time.
Uniform colour also shows that the areca nut did not suffer disturbance during ripening on the tree.
Inner flesh colour – reddish orange
Once split, Grade 90-95 areca nut shows a rich, deep reddish orange inner flesh.
This internal quality marks high nutrient content and superior flavour characteristics, which international markets favour strongly.
The flesh colour quality reflects areca nut that is healthy and dense.
Diameter – 4 to 5 cm
We require premium areca nut to have a fruit diameter between 4 and 5 cm.
This dimension is the ideal size most sought after by buyers across our export destination countries.
Uniform size supports further processing and ensures the lot shipped is of high quality.
Moisture level / weight – 20 to 25 g
The ideal weight for Orange Areca Nut Grade 90-95 is in the range of 20 to 25 grams per fruit in fresh condition.
This specific weight indicates optimal seed density and proportionate moisture content, making the areca nut well-filled and ready to dry with maximum results.
Drying rate after cutting – maximum 3%
After cutting and drying, Orange Areca Nut Grade 90-95 must reach a maximum moisture loss of 3%.
This very low moisture limit is vital to prevent mould growth and ensure the areca nut has a long shelf life.
Areca nut that dries quickly and naturally, without being forced, often indicates that the fruit had high quality integrity from harvest.
Fungal infection – none
The most absolute requirement for premium areca nut is the absence of fungal infection or other disease.
We reject supply showing signs of damage, black spots, or physical defects that reduce quality.
Product cleanliness and physical integrity are our top priority for protecting the reputation of Indonesian areca nut in the eyes of the world.
