Crops grown in smaller amounts include fruit, vegetables, Coffee Arabic and other cash and subsistence crops. Fishing also provides a significant number of jobs.
The Arabic coffee production region is the highland region of Kintamani near Mount Batur. Generally, Balinese coffee is processed using the wet method. This results in a sweet, soft coffee with good consistency. Typical flavors include lemon and other citrus notes.



A very expensive coffee is Luwak coffee (Kopi Luwak) - a rare and unusual delicacy, collected from the dung of the civet - a wild cat (Paradoxurus - locals call it Luwak's) which lives all over Bali and in other parts of Indonesia. The cats are "coffee snobs", eating only the juiciest coffee cherries the ripe, red berries that are considered the best for brewing.
