Brazil is the world’s largest producer and exporter of coffee, accounting for approximately 35% of global coffee production. In the 2023/24 harvest, the country produced over 66 million 60-kg bags, including both Arabica (about 74%) and Robusta/Conilon (26%). This volume, combined with reliable supply chains and competitive pricing, positions Brazil as the most consistent and scalable origin for global coffee buyers.
Coffee production spans more than 2,000 municipalities across 20 states, with key growing regions including Minas Gerais, Espírito Santo, São Paulo, Bahia, Paraná, and Rondônia. Each region offers distinct altitudes, climates, and terroirs, allowing buyers access to a wide range of flavor profiles — from traditional bulk grades like Santos 17/18 and Rio Minas, to high-quality lots such as Fine Cup, Good Cup, and traceable specialty microlots.
Brazil’s coffee sector is supported by well-developed infrastructure, modern agricultural technologies, and a transparent, business-friendly legal framework. Export processes are highly structured and overseen by agencies like MAPA (Ministry of Agriculture) and CNA, ensuring phytosanitary compliance and documentation integrity. Buyers benefit from legal certainty, strong contracts, and decades of experience in international trade.

Our Conilon/Robusta Coffee is appreciated for its strength, high caffeine content, and full body, widely used in instant coffees, capsules, commercial blends, and the food industry. We offer different screen sizes and roast levels, tailored to customer specifications. Whether through Arabica, with its distinct grades and sensory profiles, or Robusta, known for strength and versatility across applications, we ensure a reliable product with excellent cost-benefit.

We offer microlots and custom lots to roasters and brands seeking exclusivity and product differentiation.
