The Gayo coffee price is the market value of arabica grown in the Gayo Highlands of Aceh, and for buyers the useful answer is a real number plus the logistics behind it. We quote and ship Gayo every crop year. This guide gives current FOB rates, what moves them, and how US roasters and importers turn them into a landed cost.
Gayo Coffee Price at a Glance (2026)
Here are FnB Coffee’s current Gayo rates, quoted FOB Belawan, which means loaded on a vessel at an Indonesian port, before international freight.
| Product form | FnB price (2026, FOB Belawan) | MOQ | US buyers add |
| Green beans, Gayo Washed / Natural / Honey (retail) | about USD 9 to 12 / kg | 30 kg | Freight, insurance, customs, inland |
| Green beans, wholesale | about USD 8,000 to 9,500 / MT | 1 MT (best tier at 9 MT) | Freight, insurance, customs, inland |
| Roasted or ground (retail) | USD per kg | 10 kg | Freight, packaging, customs |
| Sample (any Gayo lot) | USD 100 deposit / 350 g | Deductible from a bulk order |
Note. Ranges depend on grade, moisture, and processing, and they move with the market. For a live, itemized quote, request our wholesale price list.
FOB vs Landed Cost: What US Buyers Actually Pay
The listed Gayo coffee price is FOB Belawan, so it covers the coffee up to loading at the Indonesian port. Your true US cost is the landed cost. That is the FOB price plus ocean freight, marine insurance, US port handling, customs clearance, and inland trucking. FnB quotes FOB by default and can arrange CIF (cost, insurance, and freight) on request, handling the export documents, phytosanitary certificate, and bill of lading either way. Payment terms are 30 percent down before shipment and 70 percent after, with a one-metric-ton wholesale minimum.
What Moves the Gayo Coffee Bean Price
A few factors push the Gayo coffee bean price up or down, and knowing them helps you time and compare offers.
- The New York terminal market. Gayo is arabica, so FOB quotes track the New York “C” closing price. Robusta origins track London instead.
- The USD to IDR exchange rate. A weaker rupiah can lower the USD FOB price, and a stronger one can raise it.
- Crop year and yield. The Gayo harvest runs mainly October to May. A smaller crop lifts prices, and a large one softens them.
- Grade and cupping score. Grade 1 and specialty lots scoring above 84 command a premium. Defect count, moisture, and screen size all factor in.
- Certification. Organic, Fairtrade, and geographical-indication lots cost more to verify and handle.
- Freight and port costs. Landed cost climbs when ocean freight or port surcharges rise. That is a US-side variable, not an origin one.
For the wider market, you can follow the International Coffee Organization composite price index, which tracks global arabica and robusta prices month to month.
How to Compare Gayo Coffee Price Offers
Quotes get structured differently, so put them on the same basis before you decide.
- Confirm the Incoterm. Is the number FOB or CIF? Ask for CIF if you want freight and insurance included.
- Check the MOQ tier. Retail from 30 kg, wholesale from 1 MT, best-tier pricing around 9 MT.
- Verify export documents. Certificate of origin, invoice, packing list, and phytosanitary certificate.
- Match grade and process. A cheaper quote for a lower grade or a different process is not a like-for-like comparison.
- Use a sample. Order a 350 g sample, USD 100 deposit and deductible, and cup it before you commit.
- Build the landed cost. Add freight, insurance, port, customs, and inland to the FOB base.
Why Source Gayo Coffee from Indonesia?
Buying Gayo directly from Indonesia keeps you close to the origin, where the price and grade are actually set, instead of paying a reseller’s margin. Direct sourcing lets you specify grade, process, and certification, verify geographical indication credentials, request samples, and receive proper export documentation. FnB Coffee supplies Gayo green coffee with transparent FOB pricing, cupping, flexible MOQ, and wholesale terms, working to Specialty Coffee Association standards so quality and price stay steady across shipments.
The Gayo coffee price in 2026 runs roughly USD 9 to 12 per kilogram at retail and USD 8,000 to 9,500 per metric ton wholesale, FOB Belawan, before US freight and duties. Track the New York market, the exchange rate, the crop year, and grade to understand the moves, and always convert FOB to a full landed cost before you compare offers. Source directly from Indonesia and that price comes with the traceability and documentation a serious buyer needs.
