Honest Comparison
Most clove exporters in Bitung serve the Indian kretek industry with undifferentiated bulk commodity. We are built for a different buyer — one who needs provenance, documentation, and reliability.

In Detail
We work directly with the farming community — no Surabaya middlemen, no consolidated lots from unknown sources. Your cloves come with a genuine story and verifiable origin.
We use established commercial grades — HPS, CG1. Our COA confirms moisture content, eugenol percentage, and volatile oil — the numbers your QC team actually needs.
The EU Deforestation Regulation is changing what European importers can legally buy. Our farm-to-shipment documentation trail is designed with EUDR compliance in mind.
Most Indonesian clove exporters require FCL volumes of 15–20 MT minimum. We ship LCL from 1 MT — the right partner for specialty importers wanting to trial before scaling.
Every shipment: Commercial Invoice, Packing List, B/L, PEB/NPE, Phytosanitary Certificate, COA, SKA Form A, Fumigation Certificate, and Cargo Insurance. Nothing missing.
We respond to all trade enquiries within 48 hours — with grades available, indicative pricing, and lead time. No week-long silences, no vague follow-ups.
