(Global farmgate prices)
Specialty Coffee Index
(SC-Index)
The Specialty Coffee Index (SC-Index) is derived from a weighted basket of farmgate prices across key coffee-producing countries, including Brazil, Colombia, Honduras, Mexico, Uganda, and Indonesia. Weighted by each country's volume of recorded farmgate prices. The SC-Index is calibrated to reflect a cup quality score of (83.4 - 84.6) in accordance with the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) standards, providing a standardized measure for specialty coffee pricing globally.
​
Welcome to the SC Market.
Global farmgate prices for specialty coffee verified by individual producers.
​
Following a principle akin to the Kelly Blue Book or Zillow, but tailored to the world of specialty coffee.
The C-market ignores specialty coffee's quality and farmgate price.
And it overlooks the significance of the producer's data and the verification process, which is
detrimental to specialty coffee producers' well-being.

OUR ETHOS
We believe the transparency of farmgate prices ensures equity and sustainability in the specialty coffee supply chain and verifies a living income for farmers, which protects specialty coffee’s future for generations.
OUR VISION
Most coffee industry reports claim they show the farmgate price, which is the actual price paid to the farmer. Most likely they are estimating the farmgate price as a percentage of the Freight-On-Board (FOB) price, the amount paid for the coffee once it is harvested, processed, bagged and includes the added exporter fees and taxes, usually from 40 to 75 percent. This a huge discrepancy from the farmgate price.
