What moves the price of Coffee Beans
Coffee prices depend on the harvests in Brazil, Vietnam and Colombia, the risk of frost and drought, stocks, and the demand of roasters. Arabica and robusta are priced separately, with arabica usually higher, and specialty grades sell at a premium over the exchange price. Futures in New York (arabica) and London (robusta) are the usual references.

How trading Coffee Beans works on Comdity
A company posts a sell offer or a buy request with the quantity, the delivery period and the ports. Other companies send an offer or a counteroffer on FOB, CFR or CIF terms. When both sides want to go on, they accept the offer, receive each other's contact details and finalise the contract directly. Comdity is a marketplace: it is not a party to the contract.
- FOB (Free On Board): the seller delivers the goods on board at the loading port; the buyer arranges and pays the sea freight.
- CFR (Cost and Freight): the seller pays the sea freight to the discharge port; the buyer carries the risk and the insurance from loading.
- CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight): as CFR, and the seller also insures the cargo to the discharge port.
