Wholesale Green Coffee: Koraput, Odisha to UAE 🇦🇪
Koraput Arabica from Odisha's Eastern Ghats, shipped to roasters and importers across the GCC. Roughly 5–10 days by sea to Jebel Ali, with full farm-level traceability and EUDR-ready GPS data on every lot.
The UAE coffee market
The UAE is the Middle East's specialty-coffee hub and a major re-export point. Dubai and Abu Dhabi have a dense roaster and café scene, and Jebel Ali's fast transit from India supports frequent small shipments.
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 UAE roaster it offers a distinctive Indian profile with clean cup character and documentation that stands up to scrutiny at import.
