The main coffee producing areas in Indonesia (Southeast Asia) are Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi.
Sulawesi (Celebes) Sulawesi, the former Dutch colony of Sulawesi, formerly known as Celebes (rapids), was named after a sailor was stranded here in 1511 because a sailor was caught in a severe storm at sea, but the present name is due to the fact that Sulawesi was rich in iron ore in the southeast of the island in the early days, so it combines the Indonesian word for Sula and Wesi. That is, it became the origin of the place name now known as Sulawesi.
