Understanding Indonesian Clove Wholesale Prices

Looking for an accurate clove wholesale price in Indonesia?

The price of Indonesian cloves may vary according to grade, product condition, purchase quantity, supplier availability, packaging, market conditions, and shipping arrangements.

For international buyers, comparing quotations requires more than looking at a price per kilogram.

IEC | Indonesia Export Center facilitates sourcing enquiries for Indonesian dried cloves and helps buyers prepare detailed RFQs that can support more meaningful commercial comparisons.

Factor 1: Clove Grade

Higher sorting requirements, stricter whole-bud tolerances, and specific quality parameters may influence the quoted price.

Buyers should request a written grade definition.

Two offers described as Premium may not represent the same product quality.

Factor 2: Harvest and Market Conditions

Agricultural supply, crop quality, domestic demand, and broader market conditions can influence available offers.

Prices should be verified at the time of enquiry.

IEC does not publish an unverified fixed spot price as a substitute for a supplier quotation.

Factor 3: Purchase Quantity

A small trial order and a larger commercial order may have different unit costs.

Quantity can influence supplier terms, packing efficiency, inspection costs, and freight economics.

Volume discounts are not guaranteed and depend on the actual offer.

Factor 4: Quality Specifications

Testing and sorting requirements may affect the commercial cost.

Examples include:

Maximum moisture
Whole-bud percentage
Broken material tolerance
Foreign matter limit
Volatile-oil testing
Microbiological testing
Residue analysis
Independent inspection
Special grading
Retained sample procedures

Factor 5: Packaging

Bag type, inner liner, net weight, labeling, palletization, and custom packing may influence the total quotation.

Packaging should be evaluated for both cost and product protection.

Factor 6: Freight and Incoterms

FOB, CFR, and CIF quotations cover different cost components.

A buyer should not compare an FOB price directly with a CIF price without accounting for freight, insurance, and other included services.

Factor 7: Destination Market Requirements

Additional testing, documentation, inspections, or import procedures may affect the overall landed cost.

These requirements vary by country.

Factor 8: Payment Terms

Payment structure, currency, credit risk, banking costs, and contract conditions may affect the commercial offer.

Buyers should verify the contractual counterparty and bank details before making payment.

Building a Comparable RFQ

For reliable quotation comparison, provide the same specification to every potential supplier.

A complete RFQ should include product form, grade, quantity, required quality tests, packaging, destination, Incoterm, shipment timing, and payment preferences.

Example Quotation Comparison

Comparison Item	Supplier A	Supplier B

Whole-Bud Percentage	Confirm	Confirm
Quantity	Confirm	Confirm
Packaging	Confirm	Confirm

The lowest nominal unit price is not necessarily the lowest landed cost or the most suitable offer.

Avoiding Outdated Price Information

Agricultural commodity prices and freight costs can change.

Buyers should request a dated quotation with a stated validity period rather than relying on old catalogues or unrelated market listings.
