2022/2023 HARVEST
This year, due to shortages in the international coffee community but especially the central and East African region, prices went up considerable to $5.50/kg. Also this year, logistics costs are high and inflation in also the producing countries play a role. This equals a price of €5.26 per kg against the exchange rate of that moment.
2023 HARVEST
We imported a “community lot” of a smallholder farmer, via the export license of the Sheka Estate. The price we paid was $2.50 per lb, which translates to $5.50/kg which against the exchange rate of that moment landed at €5.30 per kg.
2023 HARVEST
Zombo Coffee Partners works with different microstations in the Nebbi and Zombo region. We’ve used the coffees from Ayaka, Gonyobendo, Pamitu and more. We also used the smaller beans, which tend to go for a bit cheaper, but also the naturals, which are more pricey. The average price of these lies around $7,70/kg FOT. This equals to roughly €7.50 per kg against the exchange rate of that moment.
2022/2023 HARVEST
The ASNIKOM farmers got prefinanced by the Dutch NGO Progreso Foundation. Contract was made in euros, at €4.77/kg for the farmers. Here, there was an additional fee for Ontosoroh Coffee, to export the products, as is shown in the second contract, which is Rp7,200 per kg, which is €0.47 per kg. This brings the total to €5.25 per kg.
The Temanggung Candiroto farmers received €3.81/kg and the Ontosoroh Coffee export costs and fee were €0.79 per kg. This brings the total to €4.60 per kg.
2023/2024 HARVEST
Candiroto farmers received a farm gate price of €4.23 per kg and including the export fees, the price landed at €4.80 per kg FOB.
2021/2022 HARVEST
Paid price (in contract) of $2.40/lb for the farmers blend from Finca Churupampa. This amount is paid directly to the the cooperative, which has its own export license. Converting to kilograms, this is €4.56 per kg.
2022 HARVEST
These coffees are by far the most pricey, and the best coffees used. We used them in 2024 and 2025, as old crop, of coffees that did not sell prior and to maintain a steady delivery to Radboud UMC whilst the sourcing of other origins was hard. The coffees were still of sublime quality, only a little less fresh. The payment of the farmer, was of course not any less. The coffees of Adiela and Gerardo were used, which were contract for $10.49 per kg FOB. At the currency exchange of the time, this translates to around €10.00 per kg.
2022/2023 HARVEST
These coffees are of the Signature lines, which means that they are a blend of the coffees of our 2 estates and 2 cooperatives that we work with in the São Paulo and Paraná states in Brazil. Prices are represented in per bag price, respectively $317,65 per 60 kg. This equals a price of €5.07 per kg. We also used coffee of the São Jerônimo cooperative, which were sold at US$392,65 per bag which translates to €6.82 per kg.

2023/2024 HARVEST
Prices are represented in per bag price, respectively $270 per 60 kg. Prices dropped as a result of a big harvest of that year. This equals a price of €4.01 per kg.

Their individual stories can be read here.
- Capricornio greatly reduces the ecological footprint of all their 20 partner farmers: they help them create water-efficient mills, implement waste water treatment technologies, and apply systems thinking to optimise all coffee processes and reduce CO2 output. They also stimulate the use of organic fertilisers, energy-efficient machinery and irrigation systems.
- In 2022, Luiz, one of the owners of both Capricornio and Fazenda California, is elected as the first-ever farmer to become a board member in the prestigious world wide SCA (Specialty Coffee Association).
