Buying Coir Rope From Indonesia: Price, MOQ and Container Loads

What a container of Indonesian coir rope actually costs, what the MOQ is, which Incoterm to ask for and which documents come with it. Written for procurement.

Most enquiries we receive ask the same four things before anything else: what does a coir rope supplier in Indonesia actually charge, what is the minimum order, which Incoterm should be quoted, and what paperwork arrives with the container. This answers all four with real numbers, so procurement can price a line before the first call.

The price, and what it is a price for

Our published figure is from USD 0.56 per kilogram, ex-works from our production site. Both diameters we twist, 4–6 mm and 6–8 mm, sit on the same material basis: 100% natural coconut fiber, natural brown, twisted rope. Ex-works means the rope on the floor and nothing else. Once we know your volume and destination we quote FOB Surabaya or Jakarta, or CIF to your port, with inland trucking, stuffing and documents included in the number.

Which grade to ask for

Order 4–6 mm for agriculture, horticulture, trellising, handicraft, weaving and packaging: flexible enough to knot and to run through a machine, and fewer kilograms per running metre. Order 6–8 mm when the rope is load bearing: erosion control, slope stabilization, riverbank work, marine use and heavy landscaping. If you are not sure, take the free sample of both and decide on the material rather than on a table.

Ex-works, FOB or CIF

Ask for the term your procurement already works in rather than converting ours. If you run your own forwarder in Indonesia, ex-works or FOB keeps control with you. If you would rather have one number landed at your port, take CIF. We quote it the way you ask, from the same material price, so the comparison between suppliers stays honest.

The documents that come with the container

Commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin as standard, plus fumigation and phytosanitary certificates where your country requires them. Coir is a plant fiber, so the phytosanitary line is worth confirming at enquiry rather than at the port. Before the container doors close you receive stuffing photos and the container numbers.

How to send an enquiry that gets a real number back

Three things are enough: diameter, monthly or one-off volume, and destination port. With those we return pricing, packing, container loadability and the Incoterm you asked for within one business day. Without the destination we can only repeat the ex-works figure, which is rarely what you need to budget against.

Order coir rope from Indonesia

Coir rope in 4–6 mm and 6–8 mm ships by the 40ft HC container from Indonesia, with running warehouse stock of coir yarn and finished rope so repeat orders do not wait on production. See the full specification and photos from the yard, or send your diameter, volume and destination port for a quotation within one business day.

Frequently asked questions

What is the minimum order for coir rope from Indonesia?

One 40ft HC container is the standard export lot. Smaller trial orders are consolidated with other shipments, so send your volume and destination and we will confirm what is workable.

How much does a container of coir rope cost?

It starts from USD 0.56 per kilogram ex-works, so the container figure depends on the weight you load and the Incoterm. Send diameter, volume and destination port and the full number comes back within one business day.

How long does production and shipping take?

Typical lead time is 2 to 4 weeks from a confirmed order, and shorter when running stock covers your volume. Sailing time on top depends on your destination port.

Do you export coir rope outside Asia?

Yes. Buyers in China and across Asia already run on this line, and we quote FOB or CIF to any destination port. Exporindo is an official Alibaba.com channel partner in Indonesia.

Which port do you ship from?

Surabaya or Jakarta, whichever suits your forwarder. You can use your own forwarder or ours.
