To simplify the production process, efforts were made captively. Currently, Indonesia has not had a luwak coffee production management standards related to bioethics and consumer preferences, so there is no guarantee for a sustainable of luwak coffee. This study aims to design a management evaluation standards of luwak coffee production sustainable by applying the principles of animal welfare. This study implemented in Malabar Coffee of the month from July to December 2017.

In ecology, habitat palm civet adjustments have not been fulfilled, which is indicated by enrichment facilities were not yet complete. In economy, with financial analysis, investment criteria included in the category of decent (NPV Rp. 161,446,695 B / C ratio of 1.59, 2.7 and PBP IRR 36%). Socially, yet powerful external institutions as well as luwak coffee products that do not have standards is a barrier in consumer acceptability.
