Indonesian spices, coconut and tree nuts.
Indonesia is our origin for cocoa and coffee, and the same base in Bali gives us access to the spice, coconut and cashew lines below — imported into Europe on the same contractual basis as everything else we handle.
Why Indonesia, and why from Bali.
Indonesia is the world’s dominant clove producer — roughly 62% of global production — and a leading source of nutmeg and mace, vanilla, cassia, pepper, coconut products and cashew, alongside its coffee and cocoa.
It is also structurally hard to buy well. Production is spread across thousands of islands and smallholdings, quality varies lot by lot, and the documentation European importers now need is not something an exporter assembles by return of email.
Our base in Bali is the answer to that. It puts supplier qualification, sample handling and harvest-season coordination on the ground, in the same time zone as the producer.
What we source from Indonesia.
Availability, grade and volume are confirmed per enquiry. As with cocoa and coffee, we contract against a written specification rather than a photograph and a promise.
Cloves
Whole dried buds and stems. Specified on moisture, headless and immature bud percentage, foreign matter and volatile oil content.
Nutmeg & mace
Shelled nutmeg by count per kilogram, and mace by colour grade. Specified on moisture, defects, aflatoxin limits and volatile oil.
Vanilla
Cured beans graded by length, moisture and appearance, with vanillin content specified where the buyer’s application requires it.
Cassia
Cassia vera in broken, quill and stick form, and ground. Specified on moisture, oil content, ash and microbiological limits.
Pepper
White and black pepper, specified on bulk density, moisture, light berries, foreign matter and piperine content.
Coconut products
Desiccated coconut, coconut oil and copra derivatives for the food industry, specified on moisture, fat, free fatty acids and microbiology.
Cashew
Raw cashew nut and processed kernels by commercial grade, specified on outturn, count per pound, moisture and defects.
Indonesian coffee & cocoa
Sumatran and Sulawesi coffee and Sulawesi cocoa are handled under our main commodity lines, on the same origin infrastructure.
Cocoa & coffeeHow a new commodity line is opened.
The same discipline applies whether the product is nutmeg or something we have never handled before.
Requirement received
You provide the commodity, specification, annual volume, frequency, destination and any regulatory or certification requirement.
Feasibility assessment
We assess origin availability, EU import conditions, applicable food-safety and customs requirements, and indicative logistics.
Origin qualification
We identify and qualify candidate suppliers, verify export capability and request documentation and, where applicable, samples.
Commercial structure
Specification, tolerances, Incoterm, payment terms and arbitration standard are drafted and agreed by both sides.
Trial shipment
Where appropriate, a first contained shipment validates quality, documentation and logistics before a programme is committed.
Programme
Once validated, the line moves to a contracted supply programme with agreed call-offs and review points.
We would rather publish nothing than publish a catalogue we cannot honour.
Many trading websites list dozens of commodities and a dozen countries they have never shipped from. It is easy to detect and expensive to recover from: the first enquiry that cannot be answered costs the relationship.
We are building producer relationships in further countries and will publish them as origins once they are operational. Until then, this page describes a process rather than a product list. Tell us the commodity, specification, volume, frequency and destination, and we will tell you within a defined period whether we can build a supply line for it — from Indonesia or from anywhere else.
Have a requirement we do not yet list?
Send the specification, volume and destination. A clear no is worth more to you than a vague yes, and we will give you one if that is the honest answer.
