Wholesale Green Coffee: Koraput, Odisha to China 🇨🇳
Koraput Arabica from Odisha's Eastern Ghats, shipped to roasters and importers across East Asia. Roughly 14–22 days by sea to Shanghai, with full farm-level traceability and EUDR-ready GPS data on every lot.
The China coffee market
China's specialty market is expanding faster than any other, centred on Shanghai, Shenzhen, Beijing and the domestic-origin hub of Yunnan. GACC Decree 248 registration of the exporting facility is mandatory — we are set up for it.
Koraput sits at 700–1,100 m in the Eastern Ghats and is one of India's youngest traceable origins: washed, natural and honey Arabica (S795, SLN 9, Chandragiri, HSD) grown by tribal farming communities across 24 partner estates. For a China roaster it offers a distinctive Indian profile with clean cup character and documentation that stands up to scrutiny at import.
