Arkib Kopi Transparency Report 2022

In an industry historically built upon opaque brokerage chains, volatile market speculation, and structural inequities, true sustainability begins with absolute accountability. Throughout 2022, global coffee supply networks experienced compounding shocks, from rampant fertilizer inflation and climatic yield disruption to extreme ocean freight volatility and unpredictable C-Market swings.

At Arkib Kopi, our conviction remains steadfast: exceptional coffee cannot exist independently of agricultural dignity. We view transparency not as a marketing aesthetic or a curated trend, but as an empirical ethical baseline. By actively moving away from speculative commodity indices and committing to traceable, value-based pricing, we ensure that premium prices paid at origin correspond directly to agronomic stewardship, equitable compensation for farmworkers, and long-term producer viability. This report presents our unabridged procurement data for the 2022 season, documenting every lot roasted, the sourcing partners entrusted with our supply lines, and the exact financial metrics that connected our roastery to the hands that cultivated our coffees.

The commodity market price in 2022 continued to pose significant viability challenges to coffee producers. High-quality specialty coffee requires substantial ongoing investment in manpower, processing infrastructure, agronomy, and technology. Today's price environment makes it challenging to produce sustainable, high-quality coffees under standard commodity thresholds.

At Arkib, we believe in ethically sourced specialty coffee where quality, sustainability, and transparency come together as standard practice. Transparency alone does not automatically resolve structural imbalance, but it renders exploitation impossible to conceal. By making public our Free on Board (FOB) rates, local procurement costs, and cupping metrics, we provide our customers with complete clarity on how capital flows across the value chain. As we reflect on our selections throughout 2022, we invite coffee drinkers, roasters, and industry colleagues to examine these figures critically by demanding more visibility, greater respect for agrarian labor, and shared responsibility across every stage of the supply chain.

Reporting Period: Calendar Year 2022 | Currency: USD (1 EUR = 1.05 USD, 1 USD = 14,850 IDR) | NY C-Market Benchmark: $2.15 / lb. While farmgate metrics provide granular insight into producer returns, Free On Board (FOB) pricing is presented to establish a standardized baseline against global markets.
