Does anyone know how to find and buy green coffee and only pay wholesale prices?
Q : I live in Sweden and the cost of shipping is high. If you add this to already exorbitant prices for green coffee, it becomes impossible to afford it at all!A : Unless you are buying wholesale amounts it is unlikely you will be able to get wholesale prices.
If you can't find green coffee in any natural food stores (I know Whole Foods in the US sells bulk green coffee) my best guess would be to seek out a local roaster and either arrange a deal for them to bring in extra coffee for you or just buy some green coffee as opposed to roasted. They should in good conscience sell it to you at less than their roasted coffee.
Here's a site that lists some coffee roasters in Sweden (If none of these are close to you try looking up roasters in your city)

It doesn't hurt to call them up and try to arrange something :)
Good luck

What is the typical percentage markup from wholesale to retail on 1 lb of coffee?
Q : Really want to know the markup percentage from wholesale to retail on a pound of coffee sold on websites.
A : Between 40 to 60% of the wholesale at the retail level.
Between the grower and the distributor - something like 1000%; the growers really get very little. Usually they are third world countries and they think what they get is plenty.
It was the same story with Sugar. Now Coca Cola company has simply monopolized the sugar growers by the thousands and thousands of acres. You may have noticed that there is very little competition in sugar - there are only a selected few companies that sell sugar.
These are the kind of things that go on with commodities from third world countries. This trend has been around for decades. Coffee is no exception to this trend.
Other guilty parties are: Chiquita for Bananas, DelMonte for the pineapple business and other fruit business. If you visit one of these caribbean countries or any South American countries you will know what I am talking about.
Coca Cola -100 years back - monopolized the Cocoa business and Wrigleys the gum from the trees for their chewing gum business.
Diamonds? De Beers has a tight monopoly on that market. They release diamonds only very, very, very selected amount to keep the price high. Diamonds need not be this expensive.
Crude oil - same thing. It has been like that from the days of Aramco - Arab American oil company. During the Rockefeller days it was even more terrible.
I am rambling I know. But you should know it is not always what you see and pay is what you get. I gave you more than the answer you expected.
