The journey of PT. Karya Agro JayaLestari began with a simple yet powerful vision: to share the richness of Indonesia’s spices with the world. In 2003, Mr. Budiman Cenales laid the foundation of our family business, starting as a small trader with strong relationships among local farmers in North Sumatra. What began as a humble operation grew steadily through perseverance, trust, and a commitment to quality.
Over the years, we transformed from a small wholesaler into one of North Sumatra’s leading spice exporters. In 2019, the business was formally established as PT. Karya Agro JayaLestari, continuing the legacy with renewed strength and a focus on international markets.
Our specialty lies in cassia cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and other Indonesian spices, sourced directly from farmers who have cultivated them for generations. Every step — from harvest to processing and export — reflects our dedication to maintaining authenticity, sustainability, and consistency.
Today, PT. Karya Agro JayaLestari serves partners across Asia, Europe, and beyond. Yet, despite our growth, our core values remain the same: honesty, resilience, and a passion for delivering the best of Indonesia’s heritage to global tables.
For us, exporting spices is more than just business. It is about connecting cultures, supporting communities, and carrying forward the timeless story of Indonesia’s spices — a story that began centuries ago and continues through every shipment we send.
