Toraja Coffee Price per KG 2026: FOB & CIF Wholesale Rates from Sulawesi
Table of Contents
Toraja Arabica green coffee beans from South Sulawesi carry a 2026 wholesale price of $9.15–$9.60 per kg FOB Belawan, depending on grade and cherry processing method. Indonesia Specialty Coffee (ISC) is a direct exporter of Sulawesi Toraja green beans, sourcing from partner farms in Tana Toraja, Toraja Utara, and Mamasa, and shipping to roasters and importers worldwide. As a result, this guide covers ISC’s current per-kg wholesale rates by grade and process, CIF estimates to major destination ports, MOQ tiers, and how to place a sample or wholesale order.

Current Toraja Coffee Price per KG (2026)
Toraja Arabica green beans grow at 1,200–1,700 metres above sea level in the highlands of South Sulawesi. By default, ISC exports all lots FOB Belawan. Prices below reflect ISC’s current wholesale benchmark for standard orders of 350 kg and above, as of April 2026.
| Grade | Price per kg (FOB Belawan) |
|---|---|
| Grade 1 Specialty | $9.50–$9.60/kg |
| Grade 2 Commercial | $9.15/kg |
Within Grade 1 Specialty, cherry processing method determines the exact figure. Semi-washed wet-hulled Toraja prices at $9.50/kg; full-washed wet-hulled lots run $9.60/kg. Smaller volumes, such as 1 kg samples and 60 kg microlots, carry a higher per-kg rate than the standard wholesale price. ISC quotes container loads of 9 MT and above at a custom per-MT rate.
By comparison, Toraja’s price range is narrower than Gayo coffee price per kg or Sumatra Mandheling. Both of those origins offer dry-hulled natural and honey process variants that push prices significantly higher. Because Toraja’s standard export supply runs exclusively as wet-hulled, pricing stays more consistent and predictable from one order to the next.
Toraja Coffee Price by Processing Method
In Toraja, processing follows two sequential steps using established coffee processing methods. Step 1 covers the cherry method (what happens to the coffee from picking through drying), and Step 2 covers the hulling method, specifically the moisture level at which ISC removes the parchment.
For Toraja, Step 2 is fixed across ISC’s standard range: all lots are wet-hulled (Giling Basah), with parchment stripped at 35–40% moisture. As a result, Toraja develops its characteristic full body, low-to-medium acidity, and dark chocolate and mild spice profile. Step 1, however, varies between semi-washed and full-washed.
| Grade | Step 1: Cherry Process | Step 2: Hulling | Price/kg FOB |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 1 Specialty | Semi-Washed | Wet-Hulled (Giling Basah) | $9.50 |
| Grade 1 Specialty | Full-Washed | Wet-Hulled (Giling Basah) | $9.60 |
| Grade 2 Commercial | Semi-Washed | Wet-Hulled (Giling Basah) | $9.15 |
How Processing Steps Affect Per-KG Cost
Because it requires complete fermentation and a full wash stage before parchment-on drying, full-washed wet-hulled Toraja carries a small premium over semi-washed. In practice, the cup profile tends toward cleaner acidity with brighter chocolate notes. Semi-washed wet-hulled, by contrast, is the higher-volume process and prices accordingly. ISC also supplies Grade 2 Commercial semi-washed lots for blending applications or buyers sourcing at higher volume with lower per-kg targets.

FOB vs CIF: What the Toraja Price Includes
Indonesia Specialty Coffee quotes Toraja at FOB Belawan as the default. FOB (Free on Board) covers everything through loading at Belawan port: purchasing from partner farms, dry-milling, quality grading, and export documentation. Ocean freight and marine insurance from Belawan onward are the buyer’s responsibility under FOB terms.
CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) adds international freight and marine insurance to your destination port. The table below shows estimated CIF additions based on current freight benchmarks:
| Destination Port | Est. Freight + Insurance | Est. CIF (Grade 1 basis) |
|---|---|---|
| Rotterdam | ~$0.80/kg | ~$10.30/kg |
| Los Angeles | ~$0.65/kg | ~$10.15/kg |
These are estimates. ISC provides confirmed CIF quotes to your specific port on request.
However, destination port charges, customs duties, and import taxes are not included in FOB or CIF and remain the buyer’s responsibility. For a full breakdown of Indonesian coffee export terms, see ISC’s Incoterms for coffee trade guide.
Wholesale Pricing Tiers and MOQ
Indonesia Specialty Coffee accepts Toraja orders at four volume tiers:
| Order Volume | Rate Applied |
|---|---|
| 1 kg | Sample rate — cupping evaluation |
| 60 kg | Microlot wholesale rate |
| 350 kg | Standard wholesale rate |
| 9 MT+ | Container load, custom per-MT quote |
ISC quotes container pricing (9 MT+) per MT on request.
That said, buyers new to Toraja should start with a 1 kg cupping sample before committing to a full lot. Because wet-hulled beans carry higher residual moisture than dry-hulled origins, they require a longer drying phase in the roaster. Dialling in your development curve at sample scale will save you from wasted green stock when you scale up.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Toraja coffee cost per kg in 2026?
ISC’s Grade 1 Specialty Toraja Arabica green beans price at $9.50–$9.60 per kg FOB Belawan for 350 kg wholesale orders. Semi-washed wet-hulled starts at $9.50/kg; full-washed wet-hulled runs $9.60/kg. Grade 2 Commercial semi-washed lots start at $9.15/kg. Sample and microlot orders (1 kg and 60 kg) are priced higher per kg than the standard wholesale rate.
What is the difference between FOB and CIF pricing for Toraja coffee?
FOB Belawan covers the green beans through loading at the Indonesian export port. CIF adds ocean freight and marine insurance to your destination port, typically adding $0.65–$0.80/kg for most major routes. Port charges, customs duties, and import taxes are not included in either term and remain the buyer’s responsibility at every destination.
Why is Toraja coffee priced more consistently than Gayo or Bali?
Toraja’s standard export supply runs exclusively as wet-hulled (Giling Basah) across both semi-washed and full-washed cherry methods. Unlike Gayo or Bali, ISC does not offer dry-hulled natural or honey process Toraja lots in standard supply. Fewer processing variants means a tighter price spread and more predictable per-kg costs across successive orders.
Is ISC’s Toraja coffee Grade 1 specialty?
Yes. ISC ships only Grade 1 Specialty Toraja Arabica, graded against SNI 01-2907-2008 grading standards: defect value of 11 or below, moisture 12% or below, screen size 18 or above. Grade 1 lots cup at 82–87 SCA points against SCA cupping protocol. Grade 2 Commercial Toraja is also available for blending and volume applications.
What is the minimum order quantity for Toraja coffee from ISC?
The minimum order from Indonesia Specialty Coffee is 1 kg for a cupping evaluation sample. Standard wholesale pricing applies from 350 kg. A 60 kg microlot tier sits between those points. Container loads from 9 MT are priced on a custom per-MT basis. Contact ISC to confirm current lot availability by processing type before placing your order.
