Sumatra coffee beans wholesale5/31/2023 ![]() ![]() Whilst the market is hoping prices will come down once the harvest begins to flow, I found a well-argued case for prices to actually tighten. Upon my return last week, I found no change in that price, despite a 10% devaluation of the rupiah against the dollar. As direct result demand and prices have remained very high.īack in May I reported a field price of US$ 5.00 /kg for asalan (unprocessed green coffee). Most of those we spoke to blamed the late crop on a very dry August/September with no rain followed by an extremely wet October with constant rain and no break in the cloud cover (At the time of my visit the weather had turned with good sun during the day time). Furthermore the crop will yield a steady flow over the next 6 months, rather than the normal peak during November and December, dropping off in February, then peaking again for the spring crop in April and May. The winter crop is about 2 months late, having only just started, with coffee trickling into the mills.
