Breakfast about coffee discussion with my 'Providor' (while drinking tea - Ahh...) :
Cheapest 'bulk' coffee beans in New Zealand are NZD 18 a kilo
Imported boutique coffee ex Ikarus roasters NZ NZD 54 a kilo
NZ grown Ikarus coffee (2 varietals) (sold out) NZD 120 a kilo

Are these cost driven or market driven? I know this calls for a study but what’s your gut feeling?

There are a lot of boutique coffee roasters and importers here. Some (one company imports Cuban beans, for example) command a decent price, but whether that is on their skill as roasters, support for S. America/fair trade or just the 'chic', who knows?
Gut = a mix + milleniallia
