Hello and looking for advice on importing large qty from Indonesia

[IntuitiveImports]

Hello everyone!

My name is Daniel and I'm new to the coffee business.

A grower in Indonesia contacted me wanting to import large quantities of green beans into the U.S. and I accepted the challenge!

So if anyone has any experience or ideas bringing tons of green beans to market I'm all ears.

Thanks and thanks for reading.

Unless you have an import broker you might try contacting a large coffee import company like Royal Coffee. I hope you got the coffee for very cheap or the import charges will swallow most your profits. Have you sampled the coffee? It appears Indonesia is the 4th largest coffee producer. But most exports appear to be Robusta coffee which is hardly worth importing. "Of the exports, 25% are arabica beans; the balance is robusta.[1] In general, Indonesia’s arabica coffees have low acidity and strong body, which makes them ideal for blending with higher acidity coffees from Central America and East Africa." Do you know if the beans are arabica? Even so they look to be cheap coffee for blends...
