Indonesia coffee beans –which are well known as the world number four coffee
producers. This report also analyses the Current situation, SWOT, PEST and
Marketing Mix and relevant information for the company to follow to start a new
product from Indonesia into Australia. The market surveys some information of
Australia top coffee to compete with Excelso Coffee beans. The brand name
credibility –Kapal Api Group as the mother company is incredible high, because of
that the Excelso created more opportunities for company. Besides Excelso has some
weakness occurred because of the distance for distribution and also the challenge to
compete with another big and strong competitors that has already existed in
Australian market. To be successful in Australian market, Excelso needs to implant
strategies including lower price than average coffee prices in Australia, bunch of core
benefits from the product, product placement in the big supermarket like Coles,
Safeway, coffee beans shops, hotels, and restaurant, and for the promotion, the
company has created website for cheap advertising and several non-personal media
such as TV, newspapers, and magazines. By implementing these stategies, hopefully
Excelso will retain and achieve the objectivity which is prevent the competition with
lower price and can lead the company to the next level objectivity which is profit
maximisation.

1.0 Introduction
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this report is to import Indonesian coffee called Excelso by
Kapal Api Group, the giant Indonesian coffee producer into Australian market.
1.2 Methodology
To gathered the information, we have been researched from EBSCOHOST,
Euromonitor International, Excelso Official website, Australia investment
official website, Marketing text book, and other several websites that support
our report.
1.3 Scope
The report covers with several areas contain: the Australian market current
situation, SWOT analysis, PEST analysis, and Marketing Mix.
1.4 Background
Kapal Api Group is one of the large coffee company with the nationwide
presence in Indonesia. Excelso Multirasa PT was established by this parent
company to be the most specialist coffee shops in all big cities in Indonesia.
Excelso Café was known as the largest specialist coffee shops with the various
services and the satisfied quality of coffee brand, one of them is Excelso.
In addition to its extension, the company is strengthening its presence in other
countries by opening more units in Sharjah(U.A.E), Jeddah (Saudi Arabia),
Amman (Jordan),Dubai and Shanghai (China)(GMID 2007).
6
With the number of units of the Excelso café is increasing dramatically (from 11
retailers in 2001 to 52 retailers in 2006), the company is improving existing
establishment, to keep them with the most design and the professional services
to different kind of customers. However, the operation of the Excelso brand was
limited in Indonesia and some countries in the Middle East region and it is not
considering an extension in Australia.
7
2.0 Current situation:
2.1 Company background
Excelso Multi Rasa PT was constituted in 1990 by the enormous coffee
company, Kapal Api group. It was opened to be the first specialist coffee shops
with the brand of fresh coffee beans, Excelso. Also include the supplying coffee
beans to hotels, restaurant, and others cafes.
Excelso Café has become the largest specialist coffee shop brand with 52 shops
in more than 15 cities in Indonesia. With the huge population of coffee
production, the company also released the coffee-grinder and coffee-maker in
high quality but the price is lower than imported brands (GMID 2007).
2.2 Services
Excelso Multi Rasa has expanded its activities by opening different useful
services:
de’ Excelso: café resto with graceful design, personal services with
the biggest selections in food and drinks.
Kafe Excelso: first-step to introduce Excelso product to Indonesian
community, and it became the ‘trendsetter to all coffee lovers across
Indonesia’.
Excelso Express: café-fast food concept with the quick preparation
for people who need coffee on-the-go.
(Excelso-coffee 2006)
8
2.3 Quality Policy
Excelso was achieved the ISO 9001:2000 Certificate for the satisfaction in the
quality of coffee production and the Museum Rekor Dunia Indonesia (MURI)
Award for the “First Café in Indonesia to have achieved ISO 9001:2000
Certificate” (Excelso-coffee 2006).
2.4 Reason for establishing the Excelso in Australia
“A cup of coffee is a daily occurrence for many Australians” (Hot drinks in
Australia 2007). So the coffee industry has been developed dramatically and
Australia has been a good market place with vast amounts of consumers for
some companies to establish their coffee product. Excelso is one of the most
favourite coffee brands in Indonesia and it is also popular in some foreign
countries. Therefore, Australian market will be the next suitable place for
Excelso to establish their fresh coffee beans and set the new trends of
Indonesian coffee for coffee drinkers in Australia.
3.0 SWOT Analysis:
3.1 Strength:
3.1.1 Price:
Excelso coffee beans uses high quality Indonesian coffee beans that are roasted
in the country, unlike those international brands which generally roast their
beans overseas (GMID 2007); therefore, Excelso offers lower price than others,
but respectfully with high quality and taste.
9
3.1.2 Quality:
The quality of the Excelso coffee beans is undoubtable, because it is still in the
beans so that the taste, smell, essential oil in the beans will still stay there, unlike
coffee powder processing which will make the essential oil disappear. That’s
why Excelso is so excellent.
3.1.3 Brand Credibility
Excelso was the second ranked brand in chained specialist coffee beans with a
24% value share of sales in 2006. The brand’s value share decreased by almost
nine percentage points between 2001 and 2006 ;in terms of actual value sales;
however, Excelso Café experienced an impressive increase from Rp7.5 billion
in 2001 to Rp137.4 billion in 2006 (GMID 2007)
3.1.4 Ease of acquiring the supply
Indonesia is the world’s 4th biggest coffee producer (Yusoff 2005). Because of
the intelligence of Indonesian speaker and culture, it will be easy to connect
with the supplier from Indonesia, negotiate the price and always fulfil stock of
coffee in the chain markets and supermarkets in Australia.
3.2 Weakness
3.2.1 Transportation
When determining the mode of overseas transport, it is important to consider
both shipping and outland. Whilst shipping rates are always less expensive than
outland, most shipping rates are subject to much higher minimum charge than
outland rates but it takes longer time than plane. With outland services, it may
shorter distribution time but it takes higher expenses.
10
3.2.2 Lack of knowledge in Australian market
Because Excelso coffee is a brand new Australian imported product so Excelso
doesn’t have enough knowledge and information about Australian market trends
when the other competitors, who established their products previously, they got
more experience than Excelso does.
3.2.3 Non Fair-trade product agreement
Excelso product is not in the fair-trade agreement which can decrease the
interest from Australia society that care about coffee farmer’s economical
condition. They are very poor in some of growing country. They even don’t
have enough finance to fulfil their basic needs for themselves and their families.
3.3 Opportunities
3.3.1 Great interest shown by Australian toward coffee (lifestyle in
Australia)
Australia has huge market on coffee and the espresso machines. Not only
because of the flash increasing business of café in Australia, it’s also because
of the customers have become more discerning and they often looking for the
“café taste” from their coffee, even when it is consumed at home (GMID
2007). And Excelso coffee beans is so suitable for Australian market because
Excelso is the café coffee supplier in Indonesia and Excelso even has its own
café. The number of coffee transactions grew by 7% and value sales grew by
almost 29% at 2005 and showing no sign of slowing in 2006 and 2007. Sales
of coffee through supermarket channels were worth about $58 million in 2006
and growing faster. And this numbers were being help by the selling of
espresso machines and coffee maker machines, at 2006 retailers sold more
11
than 200.000 espresso machines and coffee maker machines in Australia and
the market is still growing (GMID 2007).
3.4 Threats
3.4.1 Competitor Factors:
Coffee industry in Australia was growth significantly with a rapid expansion in
the number of chained and franchise coffee outlets as Starbucks and Gloria
Jean’s -two famous café which are firmly established in many big cities such as:
Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra and some other areas (Starbucks: 76
outlets, Gloria Jean’s: 310 outlets). Furthermore, Vittoria (Cantarella Bros Pty
Ltd) and Lavazza (Lavazza SpA, Luigi) was remained as first and second
respectively in fresh coffee, with the volume share of 45% and value share of
53%(Hot Drinks-Australia 2007).Therefore, this will be an obstacle for the
Excelso café to consume to sell with a brand new coffee product between many
strength rivals and it can be vulnerable to reactive attack by those major
competitors.
3.4.2 Impact of legislation
Excelso will be a new entrant in Australia and it will be affected by the
government for the legislation of importing new product into Australia such as:
political stability, labelling requirement, and taxation. So the company has to
fulfil all of the requirements from Australian government to import Excelso in
here. So the company has to aware from the Australia Custom Agency and all
of the requirements can create bigger expenses for the Group.
12
4.0 PEST Analysis
4.1 Political
4.1.1 Labelling Requirement
The Commerce (Trade Descriptions) Act 1905 (CTDA) and the Commerce
(Imports) Regulations 1940 (the Regulations) set out the requirements for goods
imported into Australia (Commerce Markings 2007). It includes that any
imported product has to have the correct labelling on the product in English,
prominent and legible characters .The most important one is requiring trade
description, and including the name of the country where the goods are made or
produced (certain items are also required to bear a true description of the goods).
Excelso has already fulfilled the requirements in general and Excelso is so ready
to enter and deal with Australian market.
4.1.2 Political and Democratic Stability of Australia
Australia is the country with awesome political stability, and also providing the
investors or companies a huge confidence and consistency to spreading their
businesses. In fact, Australia has the lowest risk of political instability in the
Asia Pacific region and fourth lowest risk in the world; it can be see clearly in
this chart below:
13
Figure 1: Political stability in Australia is judged 4th best globally and first in the region
(Source: Commonwealth of Australia 2005 )
According to the chart, Australia gets 9.5 score for the stability and below
Austria, Ireland, and Luxembourg. And following Australia is Switzerland, New
Zealand, Singapore, Netherlands, Germany and Canada.
Australia also boasts an open, efficient and transparent legal framework with
low corruption rating, rating ahead of the US, the UK, Canada and most regional
countries (Commonwealth of Australia 2005). It means that Australia has their
strong enforcement law and respected law regulation system that can guarantee
investors and their society for their safeties. That’s why the company can
establish The Excelso coffee beans into Australia without fears of chastity,
because Australia has stable government and political consistency.
14
4.2 Economic
4.2.1 Taxation
4.2.1.A Double tax agreement
Australia’s taxation regulation for the non-resident company is being arranged
by the Federal Commissioner of Taxation, who is headed of Australian Taxation
Office. The regulation shows that Excelso coffee beans product as non-resident
company has to pay the tax to Australian government. A non-resident company
is taxed on its Australian source income (apart from dividends, interest, and
royalties, which are subject to withholding tax) at the same rate as resident
company with 30% amount of their income, but some non-resident companies
may be free from Australian tax regulation due to the double tax agreement.
The double tax agreement is the agreement of Australia with various countries
to prevent the double taxation of their income. The main purpose of this
agreement is to borderline Australia’s taxation authority in the income from
another nation and country and vice versa. Apart from the subject from tax
withholding, the double tax agreement usually deal with taxation income within
several area:
business profit
real property income
shipping and air transport income
Certain wages, annuities, and pensions.
(Baxter, Cox, Mann 2005).
15
Indonesia is one of those various countries that made their agreement with
Australia. So by this agreement, our Excelso Company has to pay double taxes
for Indonesian government and also to Australian government. And by this
term of condition, the company has to incriminating some of the tax expenses
through the price of the product itself in Australia by currency differentiation
between Rupiah (Indonesia) and Australian Dollar.
4.2.1.B Import Taxes
Australian Government validated a broad-based Goods and Services Tax
(GST) of 10 percent on most supply chain of goods and services that are being
consumed in Australia. For imported goods, importer pays the GST and also
with the custom duty to the Australian Customs Service on monthly / quarterly
basis. But all of these taxes are not calculated if the products’ existence is
temporarily. This regulation applies only for the imported goods that remain
exist in Australian market (Kirkham 2004).
4.2.2 Tariff
Australia used to hide their industry behind the tariff protection in the twentieth
century and now Australia releases their industry by reducing their tariff. And
for the last 2 decades, Australia has moved their economy stability into the next
level through the tariff reduction in the imported product area, increased
productivity, and advanced international competitiveness. The tariff reduction
program has already reduced 48 percent of Australia’s tariff lines to zero, and 35
percent of tariff lines to five percent. About 86 percent of the tariff rates are
between zero and 5 percent (Kirkham 2004). By the Tariff Concession Scheme
(TCS) importers can free from the tariff for the imported goods which is the non
16
substitutable goods produce in Australia and also for the consumer for this kind
of products. And more than 99% of Australian tariff are counted as the value of
duty. Because of the tariff reduction program, so Excelso coffee company
doesn’t have to pay big amount of maybe for this concession which can make
another higher expenses which means that greater price for the consumer.
4.3 Socio-Cultural
4.3.1 Population living
Australia is the multicultural and open market country; the society can accept
pieces of others country culture, and surprisingly, most of the Australian like to
enjoy another culture that exist in the society. Australian population aged from
18 to 24 are outgoing age group where the social participation greater than other
group. About 89% of the group going out to have coffee therefore it provides a
rich market for impulse coffee. Also the population of the aged group over 65
have higher require of coffee because they drink more coffee than young aged
group so Australian is the great place to import Excelso coffee (GMID 2007)
4.3.2 Attitude
With a brand new product as Excelso, Australian has more attempts to try a new
coffee with difference coffee tastes between Western and Asian (Indonesian),
sweet and bitten. For example, cat poo coffee (kopi luwak) from Indonesia has
already established into Australia from 1953 and it was successful so Australian
will like Indonesian taste.
17
The socio-cultural consist of customs, lifestyles and value, etc, that characterize
the society. Excelso needs to influence its ability of the firm to obtain resources
make its goods and services, and function within the society in Australia.
4.3.3 Custom
Excelso had its own custom and ever same with any custom in Australia. It was
specifically designed to market the brand and to create the right image for
Excelso Coffee.
4.3.4 Lifestyle
Coffee is a Western lifestyle. Coffee appeals to adventurous, open-minded,
young, affluent, urban consumers. Excelso have targeted Australian people as
the main target market for our coffee. The key issue is how to convince these
consumers that Excelso is a beverage to be drunk regularly rather than just a
passing fad and providing Australian customers a best lifestyle of Indonesian
coffee and make it suitable with their taste buds.
4.3.5 Value
Adding value to coffee is an important part for each coffee type in the world.
Same with Excelso, Kapal Api Group have advanced packaging methods,
scientific methods of quality control or control environments so the coffee still
can keep its Indonesian coffee savour when they arrive into Australia.
4.4 Technological
To make it convenient, the company has already provided the official webpage
(WWW. Excelso-coffee.com) to interact easily and cheaply for the customers
overseas. The webpage also provides the customers with online order service,
18
that’s can cut down the distribution chain. That’s mean that the company want
to maintain the relationship with the customers. Besides that, by using the
webpage, it can decrease the advertising expenses.
5.0 Marketing Mix
5.1 Product
Figure 2: Company Shares
(Source: GMID 2007)
According to the chart, packaged food of Kapal Api Group in 2001 and 2002
stayed the same at 0.75. At 2003, Kapal Api had highest percent on packed food.
From 2004 to 2006 the percent of retail value breakdown. The value was breaking
down because of in 2004 until 2006 the world coffee market was experiencing the
deficit from coffee that available (Siagian 2003).
19
5.1.1 Core benefit
The core product is the benefit of the product that makes it valuable. Excelso
coffee offers some benefits to our health that reducing disease risk such as helps
relieve headaches, inhibits sleep, blood pressure, etc.
Help relieve headaches
A cup of coffee can relieve the symptom. In recent study 301 regular headache
sufferers took a combination of a recognized painkiller and caffeine (Can coffee
help relieve headache?). Many people claim that caffeine in a strong cup of
coffee can relieve or even end it if it consumed in very early stage of headache.
Inhibit sleep
Coffee gives us a boost during the day and of its well know immediate affect on
keeping people alert. It may means to take longer to fall asleep.
Blood pressure
Coffee might not increase the threat for high blood pressure over time as result
from long time studies was showing.(Coffee health service).
5.1.2 Actual product
Improving quality
Kapal Api Group recognized grading system for quality of coffee that provides a
good cup quality of coffee for customers, trying to improve the balance between
supply and demand by inspiring demand through the condition of a better
overall ordinary quality to Australian market. These products will be imported
with the best quality of Indonesian coffee bean.
Packaging
Kapal Api Group concerned about environment so the packaging for products
which could be re-cyclable . The labelling requirement is arranged by the food
20
standard Australian New Zealand under the food standards code. It must include
nutritional identification, key ingredients, foods that may cause allergies, date
marking, direction for use and storage, statement of quantity. Suppliers have to
describe all of that correctly (Kirkham 2004). The package of product must be
describing the origin of its country.
5.1.3 Augmented
To fulfil the consumer needs, Kapal Api group make a good image that means
good relationship with customer so Kapal Api group created a hot lane services,
provide additional value to the customer’s purchase such as group’s coffee
official website or phone that help customers can easily order and receive
delivery within the high customer services.
Excelso also gives you a wide range coffee, which helps you easily choose a
coffee to suit your taste buds. There are two main types of Excelso available
coffee:
Single Origin Coffee:
This type of coffee is Indonesian coffee which provide Indonesian coffee taste
that totally different from Australian available coffee.
Blend Coffee:
This is international coffee such as Arabika, Robusta, The Classic and House
Blend. Our company provides this kind of coffee is to adopted International
taste that usually existed in coffee market.
Excelso also pride itself in being innovative in creating many coffee infused
drinks, both hot and cold. Some favorites are the Avocado Coffee, Coffee Float,
Mega Mocha Shake, Pearl Coffee and Frappio, which is a frozen drink
consisting of coffee and choice of different flavors.( About Excelso 2006)
21
5.2 Price
5.2.1 Internal Factors
Marketing Objectives
The objectives from the company to enter Australia’s market is to prevent
competition from others international well-known coffee in Australia’s market,
so Excelso determined the products with low prices that achievable but in the
premium fine quality.
Marketing-mix strategy
To set up the right prices for Excelso, the company has to coordinate the
decisions with the product design, promotion, and distribution. To determine
the target price, the good company has to determine the target cost for the
distribution, promotion, etc to bring the coffee beans achieve the objectives.
Because the manufacturer of Excelso coffee is in Indonesia, distribution like
freight inward can be cost consume.
5.2.2 External Factors
Competitors
From competitor point of view, based on the extensive research, the prices range
for Australia coffee market is $9.60 to $15.30 (GMID 2007). So we believe the
suitable, yet competitive prices for our product are listed on the table below.
22
Figure 3: Excelso Coffee Beans Prices for Australian Market
In addition, this designated price was determined also because Excelso will be
new in Australia and Penetration pricing is effective pricing strategy to compete
with competitors. And it is still in the introductory stage, so by reducing the
prices, Excelso can attract larger market segmentation.
The market and demand
Australia has big interest on coffee, statistic shown that, coffee sales in the
Australian market increased every year from 2001 until 2006; the demand of the
coffee grew from 4.873,8 in 2001 and was crawling up in 2006 at the value of
6.137,4 (GMID 2007). Indonesian coffee in Australian market is really taking
the part, such as: Kopi Luwak (Australian usually calls it Cat Poo Coffee),
No Products Price
1 Kalosi Toraja $10.00
2 Mandhelling $12.50
3 Java $11.00
4 Arabika $12.00
5 Robusta $10.70
6 The House Blend $14.5
7 The Classic $13.00
23
Starbucks etc. As can be seen that Indonesian coffee taste is acceptable in
Australia and people will buy the coffee because of the popularity of Indonesian
coffee taste which is will effect the name of Excelso coffee from Indonesia but
with lower prices and supreme products.
5.3 Promotion
For the budget of the promotion, the company is going to use the objective-and-
task method. The objectivity for the product is brand liking/preference, so the
company has to do a lot of advertising to achieve the objectivity.
5.3.1 Advertising
To be attractive Australian consumers, company need to focus on the advert to
introduce Excelso as a brand new interesting coffee brand by non-personal
media such as newspaper, magazines, and advertising with motion picture.
The target audience is people aged over 65 (retirement), that’s why we
are going to set the timing for our advertising in the day time for TV
media.
And by newspaper, we are going to use business newspapers and
magazines such as The Age to aim the business workers.
Advertising is very expressive and it can ‘build up a long-term image for a
product’ (Kotler et al. 2006)
Excelso provides quickest way to interact with their customer by the internet.
The company has commercial services on the net (www.Excelso-coffee.com) so
that is easier for Australian demand and product sales. Methods of advertising
can be print media such as newspaper and magazine. People improve efficiency
and speed of customer service.
24
5.3.2 Sale promotion
‘Sale promotion uses short-term incentives to encourage purchase or sales of a
product or services’ (Kotler et al. 2006). Excelso can use sale promotion to
attract Australian consumers’ attention and encourage them to try new product
with the awareness of price instead of staying with their current choices (Kotler
et al.2006)
5.4 Place
In fact, place is concerned with various methods of transporting and storing
goods, and then making them available for the customer. Therefore, the
company needs to focus on finding a good place to introduce the brand new
product like Excelso to Australian consumer. It is better to sell Excelso coffee
in the busy streets, supermarkets, shopping centres, restaurants, hotels, etc. By
doing it, the product will be easily recognize by the customers.
25

1. Excelso café is one of the largest specialist coffee shop brands with a lot of
excellent services to different kind of customers.
2. Excelso uses high quality Indonesian coffee beans with excellent taste and it is
easy to connect with the supplier in Indonesia, negotiate the price and provide

Kafe Excelso, Excelso Express) and import espresso machines and coffee
maker machines in Australia.
5. As a brand new product, Excelso has to be opposed to many strength rivals
and to be aware of some affection from the legislation of Australian
government.

of chastity, because Australia has stable government and political consistency.
However it still has to be imposed in double tax agreement , imported tax and
the tariff .

accept new products and services from overseas.
26

Australian consumers because Excelso still in the introductory stage.

first time Excelso entering the market.
