Ranau Coffee Plantation Earns Malaysia Book of Records Recognition
兰瑙咖啡种植园获马来西亚纪录大全认可
Kampung Toboh Lama in Ranau has received Malaysia Book of Records recognition for the country’s highest-altitude coffee plantation, putting Sabah’s highland growers in the spotlight.
The recognition was reported by Daily Express on 5 November 2026 and detailed in a Sabah Agriculture Department announcement dated 6 November. The department identifies the crop as Arabica Catimor, grown in the village’s cool highland environment.
Beyond the record, the department’s account describes support for coffee processing and drying facilities, equipment, agrotourism and new product packaging. These are practical parts of getting locally grown coffee from the farm to customers.
Daily Express reported that growers were encouraged to take a larger role across the supply chain and improve quality, with support sought for appropriate myGAP or myOrganic certification. The recognition itself should not be read as confirmation that every grower or product already holds those certifications.
A coffee trail is still a proposal
TV Sabah’s 6 November report describes a proposed “Coffee Trail Ranau” that would connect farming, coffee production and visitor experiences. It also highlights opportunities in roasting, packaging and marketing for local operators.
The reports reviewed do not establish a public opening date, visitor hours or booking arrangements for that proposed trail. Coffee lovers can follow the development, but should confirm access directly with an operator before planning a farm visit.
