**Mangosteen exporter FOB price sits at roughly USD 2-3.5/kg as of 2026, set by grade at the ship’s rail: FAQ/lower grade USD 1.5-2.5/kg, standard export Grade A USD 2.2-3.0/kg, and premium Super USD 2.8-3.8/kg (rare lots near USD 4). Quoted FOB Surabaya or Jakarta — indicative, and moving with harvest and season.**
Price-shopping fresh Indonesian mangosteen (manggis, Garcinia mangostana) means comparing apples to apples on the Incoterm first. A number only means something once you know which grade it covers, which port it loads from, and what stops at the rail. This page lays out the canonical FOB band, what FOB does and does not include, and how a firm quote gets confirmed for your grade, size and destination.
What does FOB actually cover in a mangosteen quote?
FOB — Free On Board — means the seller carries every cost to get graded, packed fruit loaded onto the vessel at a named Indonesian port. Once the cargo crosses the ship’s rail, ocean freight, marine insurance and destination clearance become the buyer’s account. We quote FOB Surabaya (Tanjung Perak) and FOB Jakarta (Tanjung Priok), with Denpasar logistics feeding fruit from Bali orchards.
Inside an FOB mangosteen price:
- Farm-gate fruit from registered kebun (orchards)
- Grading by size and cosmetic standard (latex/getah staining, cracks screened out)
- Packing into 5, 8 or 10 kg export cartons
- Pre-cooling and reefer trucking to the load port
- Export documentation and vessel loading
Outside the FOB price, on the buyer’s side: sea freight, marine insurance, China import duties and clearance, and inland delivery at destination. If you want those folded in, ask for a CFR or CIF quote to your discharge port — Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou or Hong Kong — instead.
How much does mangosteen cost per grade FOB?
The table below is our canonical 2026 band. Figures are FOB indikatif per 2026; they move with panen (harvest), grade and season, and a final quote confirms grade, size, destination and MOQ.
| Grade | Fruit size profile | FOB band (USD/kg) | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| FAQ / lower grade | Smaller, minor cosmetic marks | 1.5 – 2.5 | Value markets, processing, regional buyers |
| Standard export Grade A | Even size, clean skin | 2.2 – 3.0 | Mainstream export, Singapore/Malaysia/Vietnam |
| Premium / Super | Large, blemish-free, China-protocol eligible | 2.8 – 3.8 | China programme, premium retail (rare lots ~4.0) |
The working range across a mixed order lands around USD 2-3.5/kg FOB. One caution for buyers benchmarking against Chinese marketplaces: the China wholesale landed price you see online runs higher than this because it already carries freight, duty, importer margin and last-mile — it is not our FOB quote.
Why does the FOB price move within the band?
Mangosteen is perishable and seasonal, so the number is a snapshot, not a contract rate. Five levers push it inside — or occasionally past — the band:
- Harvest calendar. National harvest runs Nov-Mar and varies regionally across Jabar, Sumbar, Sumut and Bali. Peak flush softens price; shoulder weeks firm it.
- Grade and fruit-count. Larger Super fruit is scarcer per tonne, so it prices at the top.
- Cosmetic standard. China’s strict size-grading and skin standards mean protocol-eligible lots command a premium over FAQ.
- Demand spikes. Bali mangosteen exports to China jumped several-fold in the month before Lunar New Year in early 2026; pre-festival weeks tighten supply.
- Reefer and currency. Cold-chain container availability and USD/IDR movement both feed the final figure.
How is Super grade different from FAQ grade?
Grading is by fruit-count per kilogram — fewer, bigger fruit means a higher grade. That single metric drives most of the price gap between the top and bottom of the band.
| Grade tier | Approx. fruit per kg | What buyers get |
|---|---|---|
| Super | ~10 fruit/kg | Largest calibre, uniform, China-protocol candidate |
| Standard A | ~12-15 fruit/kg | Consistent export size, clean skin |
| Small / FAQ | 15-20 fruit/kg | Smaller calibre, value and processing tiers |
How does an FOB quotation get confirmed?
Getting from an indicative band to a firm number is a short, structured process handled by the Bali Premium Trip concierge desk:
- Send your spec. Tell us grade (Super / A / FAQ), carton size (5/8/10 kg), volume, and discharge port. Typical MOQ is 1-3 MT, scaling to a reefer container at roughly 10-25 MT.
- Availability check. We map your window against the regional harvest calendar and current packhouse output.
- Indicative quote in 24 working hours. You receive an FOB Surabaya or Jakarta figure inside the band, plus a CFR/CIF option if you want freight included.
- Sample and grade confirm. For protocol orders we align on size-grading and cosmetic standard before committing tonnage.
- Booking and documentation. On confirmation we schedule pre-cooling, reefer loading, and export papers — registered-packhouse OKKPD approval, phytosanitary/quarantine certificate, GAP, invoice, packing list and certificate of origin.
A note on honesty: every figure here is indicative as of 2026 and subject to change, not a fixed contract price. Quality claims such as brix, calibre or OPTK-free status are cited only from batch inspection or a COA, and we cannot guarantee that any shipment clears China protocol, quarantine or customs — those decisions rest with the authorities. What we can do is prepare the fruit and paperwork to the agreed Export Protocol standard.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the FOB price include the reefer container and sea freight?
No. FOB means the price stops when the fruit is loaded onto the vessel at Tanjung Perak or Tanjung Priok. Ocean freight, the reefer container line cost, marine insurance and China clearance are the buyer’s account. If you want those included, ask us for a CFR or CIF quote to your discharge port instead.
Why is Super grade nearly double the FAQ grade price?
Grade is set by fruit-count per kilogram, and Super runs around 10 large fruit per kg versus 15-20 for small/FAQ. Bigger, uniform, blemish-free fruit is scarcer per tonne and is what China’s strict cosmetic and size standards demand, so it prices at USD 2.8-3.8/kg against FAQ’s USD 1.5-2.5/kg as of 2026.
Is the China wholesale price I saw online your FOB quote?
No. Chinese marketplace wholesale prices are landed — they already include sea freight, import duty, quarantine handling, importer margin and last-mile delivery. Our FOB band of roughly USD 2-3.5/kg is quoted at an Indonesian port before any of that. Comparing the two directly overstates the gap; convert to CFR/CIF for a fair benchmark.
What MOQ do I need to lock an FOB price?
Typical minimum order is 1-3 MT, which is enough to confirm a grade-specific FOB figure. Full reefer container loads run roughly 10-25 MT and usually earn the sharpest number in the band. Cartons come in 5, 8 or 10 kg formats, and we confirm the exact price once grade, size and destination are set.
How long is an FOB quote valid given the moving harvest?
Because mangosteen is perishable and seasonal, quotes are indicative and confirmed per batch rather than held open for weeks. National harvest runs Nov-Mar and varies by region, so pricing firms up close to loading. We re-confirm the FOB figure at booking against live packhouse output — especially around the Lunar New Year demand spike.
