**Indonesia Sea Moss is a wholesale and export sourcing desk for Indonesian Eucheuma cottonii (Kappaphycus alvarezii) — raw dried and cleaned food-grade grades. Operated by the Bali Premium Trip concierge desk and part of Juara Holding Group, we connect carrageenan processors, food and nutraceutical buyers, and private-label health brands with vetted licensed Indonesian farms and exporters.**
We are not a supplement shop and not a farm. We are the desk that reads your spec, matches it to real Indonesian supply, and returns an honest, date-stamped quote you can build a purchase order on.
Who runs Indonesia Sea Moss?
This site is operated by the Bali Premium Trip concierge desk and is part of Juara Holding Group — an Indonesian group operating from Bali across Indonesia since 2015. Bali Premium Trip functions as an independent sourcing and export concierge, not the owner of the farms or the carrageenan factories. When you place an order, the raw material is grown, cleaned, and shipped through vetted licensed Indonesian partners; our role is to broker, verify documents, and coordinate logistics from a single point of contact.
That distinction matters for a B2B buyer. We do not pretend to control every fishing raft in Sulawesi. What we do control is spec matching, COA review, container planning, and clear communication — with a service standard of a first reply within 24 working hours.
Why source Indonesian cottonii at all?
Indonesia is the reason this desk exists. Industry sources describe Indonesia as the world’s largest producer of red seaweeds (Eucheuma cottonii), the primary raw material for kappa carrageenan. The sister species, Eucheuma spinosum, yields iota carrageenan. Cottonii — also called Kappaphycus alvarezii, and known locally as cottonii, katoni, sacul or sakul — grows naturally within roughly 20 degrees of the equator across the Indo-Pacific, concentrated in Southeast Asia.
The biology is generous. In warm tropical Indonesian waters, cottonii can reach about ten times its mass in 45 to 50 days. It became cultivable in Indonesia in 1974 after being introduced from the Philippines, and today most of it is farmed by the longline method, using plastic rope tied to lines anchored to poles on the seabed. Indonesia and the Philippines remain the two dominant world sources of cottonii, which is why serious processors keep both origins in their supply base.
Which grades and prices do we quote?
We publish one consistent price band and refuse to invent a single “hero” number that falls apart on the first real quotation. Dried cottonii moves with harvest, moisture and grade; cleaned food-grade material sits far above it.
| Grade | Description | Indicative FOB (2026) |
|---|---|---|
| Commodity / salted raw dried cottonii | Higher-moisture, salted | USD 4–7 / kg |
| Standard raw dried cottonii | Standard moisture and grade | USD 6–9 / kg |
| Higher-grade raw dried cottonii | Low-moisture, clean | USD 9–12 / kg |
| Cleaned / washed food-grade cottonii | Bulk wholesale, cleaned | USD 25–55 / kg |
These are FOB indikatif per 2026 and move with harvest, moisture and grade; the final quote is confirmed on your spec and MOQ. Branded Western retail sea moss is priced far higher and is not our FOB quote. We will not attach a specific price to any named company, because that invites fabrication — the band above is the honest reference.
How does working with our desk work?
The path from first message to loaded container is deliberately simple:
- Send your spec. Tell us grade, target moisture, carrageenan-yield goal, MOQ and destination port. Documented dried-cottonii specs vary by trader — moisture around 35–39% with foreign matter roughly 2–5% max is common, and premium “Grade A” material runs below 35% moisture.
- Get an indicative quote. We match vetted licensed farms and processors and return a date-stamped FOB, CIF or CNF figure within 24 working hours.
- Sample and review a COA. Typical entry is a 1 MT trial. Any moisture, ash, foreign-matter, microbiological, heavy-metal or carrageenan-yield figure is only treated as real when it comes from that batch’s Certificate of Analysis.
- Contract the volume. Trial orders scale to 20–100 MT contracts. A container carries roughly 20–25 MT — a 20ft holds about 15 MT, a 40ft about 23 MT, and a 40HC about 25 MT (around 350 × 100 kg bales).
- Documentation and shipment. Payment terms are T/T, 100% LC at sight, or 100% advance; delivery is typically 30–60 days after payment is approved, shipped worldwide.
Standard export paperwork includes the Certificate of Analysis (COA), Certificate of Origin (COO), phytosanitary certificate, MSDS and fumigation certificate, with Halal and HACCP/ISO 22000 supplied on request. Material is baled in polypropylene cloth in 50 kg or 100 kg bags, with a 12-month shelf life when stored cool, dry, sealed and out of direct sunlight.
Where does the material actually come from?
We name origins concretely rather than gesture at “Indonesia.” Production concentrates in Maluku, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), South Sulawesi — Bone, Maros, Jeneponto, Takalar, Luwu and East Luwu — plus West Lombok and North Kalimantan. Surabaya and East Java form a key processing and export gateway, with a real, expanding domestic carrageenan-processing base clustered around the region.
Bali, where our desk is based, works as a sourcing and logistics hub rather than a large documented production zone, so we do not invent Bali tonnage figures. Seasonality is real: monsoon and rainy seasons lengthen sun-drying and shift moisture and yield, while ice-ice disease and epiphytes are the recurring farm-side risks we screen partners against.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who operates the Indonesia Sea Moss website?
The site is operated by the Bali Premium Trip concierge desk, part of Juara Holding Group — an Indonesian group working from Bali across Indonesia since 2015. Bali Premium Trip acts as an independent sourcing and export broker connecting buyers with vetted licensed Indonesian farms, processors and exporters, not as the farm or factory owner.
Is Indonesia Sea Moss a farm or a trading broker?
A broker and export coordinator, not a farm. We do not own seaweed rafts or carrageenan factories. We match your spec to vetted licensed Indonesian growers and processors, review each batch COA, plan container loading, and handle export documentation so you deal with one accountable desk instead of many scattered suppliers.
Does Indonesia Sea Moss sell retail sea moss to consumers?
No. We are a wholesale and export desk for B2B volumes — carrageenan processors, food and nutraceutical manufacturers, and private-label health brands. Typical entry is a 1 MT trial scaling to 20–100 MT contracts. Branded retail sea moss pouches sold in the West are priced far above our FOB quote and are outside what we supply.
What does “part of Juara Holding Group” mean here?
Juara Holding Group is the Indonesian parent group, operating from Bali across Indonesia since 2015, that Bali Premium Trip belongs to. It signals a real, datable corporate publisher behind this desk rather than an anonymous listing. It does not mean the group owns the seaweed farms — sourcing still runs through vetted licensed third-party partners.
Can Indonesia Sea Moss guarantee my shipment clears customs?
No honest desk can. We supply standard export documents — COA, COO, phytosanitary, fumigation, MSDS, plus Halal and HACCP/ISO 22000 on request — but customs clearance depends on your destination country’s rules and inspection. We help you prepare paperwork correctly; we do not and will not guarantee clearance or a fixed quality result.
