Import Coffee Beans — Buy in Bulk from Supplier in Madagascar

Helm Madagascar supplies Arabica and Robusta coffee beans grown in the highland regions of Madagascar, with moisture content typically ranging from 10% to 12% and green bean density between 0.68 and 0.72 g/cm³. The beans are sorted by screen size, with most lots falling between 16 and 18 screen, and foreign matter content generally below 0.5%. These specifications are consistent with standard export-grade coffee from the island’s eastern growing zones.

The beans are offered in both natural and washed processing methods, with Arabica varieties exhibiting lower acidity and higher sweetness compared to Robusta, which tends to have higher caffeine and bitterness. Typical defects per 300 grams are under 12, aligning with Specialty Coffee Association thresholds for Grade 2. No chemical treatments are applied post-harvest, and the beans are dried on raised beds using traditional sun-drying methods common in the region.

These beans are sourced by specialty roasters in Europe and North America, as well as wholesale distributors serving boutique cafés and private-label brands. Packaging is available in 60kg jute bags or 25kg multi-wall paper sacks with inner liners. Trade terms are FOB Tamatave, with lead times of 15 to 20 days after order confirmation. MOQ is negotiable but typically starts at one 20-foot container.
