Official wholesale price (MAGA)
Guatemala produces some of the world is finest coffee, particularly from regions like Antigua, Huehuetenango, and Coban. However, most high-quality beans are exported, and domestic consumption tends toward lower-grade, pre-ground coffee. The most popular local brand is Cafe Leon. Despite being a major producer, ground coffee is relatively expensive due to global commodity pricing and export demand. That global price has its own live page: the ICE Coffee “C” contract and the ICO Other Milds differential track green, unroasted coffee before it is shipped — the benchmark this shelf price ultimately answers to.
