Official source: ICO Coffee Market Report — July 2026For buyers in Oman, Iran, the UAE and the wider GCC, Arabica and Robusta should now be budgeted and contracted as distinct risk pools. Recalculate landed-cost scenarios, confirm the physical differential and delivery window with each supplier, and avoid treating a lower Robusta benchmark as evidence that every blend or Arabica lot should be cheaper. The ICO indicators and futures references are market benchmarks, not physical coffee offers.
