Costs of Importing Green Beans

I am working on an article about the sustainability of coffee and I am looking for information regarding the total cost of shipping green beans from origin to retailer. I'm thinking along the lines of fuel costs for ships/planes, costs to retailers/roasters who actually buy the beans, and any incidental costs such as those one might pay for containers and agents. Any help or leads to resources are appreciated!
