2. International coffee price (commodity)

The price of coffee on the stock market (ICE NY quote) is measured in cents per pound of unroasted green beans. This price fluctuates daily due to factors such as weather in Brazil and Colombia, the dollar, and global demand. For Guatemala, the reference price for parchment coffee is calculated based on the New York C Contract plus a regional differential.

Concept Reference Notes
Arabica Coffee (ICE NY C Contract) Daily quote USD/pound Consult ICE Futures, Investing.com or Bloomberg
Parchment coffee Guatemala ~80-90% of international price Anacafé publishes daily reference price
Green coffee for export International price + quality premium Additional premium for single-origin specialty coffee
Roasted specialty coffee GT Q100 - Q175 per 400g Includes selection, roasting, packaging, traceability

3. Why does roasted coffee cost more than the commodity?

Paying Q100-175 for 400g of roasted Guatemalan coffee compared to the international commodity price has a clear reason — and it's worth understanding:

  • Farm and lot selection: specialty coffee comes from specific farms with verified quality (not a blend of industrial grades).
  • Post-harvest process: methods like washed, honey, or anaerobic require more labor and time.
  • Artisanal roasting: each roasting profile is calibrated by origin to highlight the natural notes of the bean.
  • Freshness: we roast in small batches and pack immediately — you're not getting coffee roasted 6 months ago.
  • Traceability: you know exactly which farm, producer, altitude, and process.

Datos actualizados automáticamente

The international price of coffee is primarily based on the price of the "C" contract (Coffee C Futures), which is traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Factors such as weather, harvests, exports, and global demand directly influence the price of coffee per pound. When supply is lower, the price rises; when production is higher, the price falls. This price serves as a benchmark for producers, roasters, and exporters worldwide.

How does this affect the price of coffee you buy in Guatemala?

Although the current international price of coffee has an influence, the price of roasted coffee you buy in a store like Macinare also depends on:

  • grain quality
  • process (washed, honey, natural, anaerobic)
  • roasting costs
  • transport and logistics
  • rarity of the variety
  • fair payments to producers


That's why specialty coffees have different values ​​than commercial supermarket coffees.
