Arkib Kopi Transparency Report 2021

2021 mark our commitment to exercise ethically sourced coffee practise by present Arkib Transparency report to public. Our goal to establish transparent transaction that happening between coffee producer and coffee roaster. This allows our customer to get insight on how Arkib as a specialty coffee roaster conduct our role as coffee buyer. It is one of our effort to initiate conversation on why we encourage customer to pay more for specialty coffee.

The current market price is less than the production cost, in some cases coffee producer struggle to make ends meet. The commodity market price in 2020 was under 1.1 usd/lb and increased to 1.6 usd/lb FOB in 2021. It still under from actual cost to produce excellent coffee that required lots investment of manpower, facility and technology. Today price has become extremely challenging to produce sustainable high quality with commodity price.

At Arkib, we believe in ethically sourced specialty coffee where excellent coffee come in package of quality, sustainability and transparency. We believe coffee can become a source of wealth when all parties involved working toward a good cause for better future.

We would like to add disclaimer in some cases it is better to use farm gate price for better practice and measurement but to use same measurement will allow us to compare our price with the marketplace, we are presenting the FOB prices in this report.
