The expansion is expected to drive efficiency gains and enhances logistical capacity with increased storage, processing and shipping capabilities.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Varginha (MG), Brazil<\/strong>, July 1, 2025 \u2013 Louis Dreyfus Company (LDC) today announced the inauguration of its expanded coffee processing facility in Varginha, Minas Gerais State, further reinforcing its long-standing presence in Brazil\u2019s green coffee sector, in line with the Group\u2019s strategic growth plans and continued commitment to the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The expansion enhances LDC\u2019s sourcing operations in Brazil\u2019s largest coffee-producing state, where the Group has maintained a strong footprint for over 25 years. It also added 13,000 m\u00b2 to the site, bringing its total area to 31,000 m\u00b2. As a result, the facility will now have storage capacity for approximately 1 million coffee bags and the ability to process and handle over 2.5 million bags annually. The added area doubles the site\u2019s processing capacity and increases shipping capacity by 50%, enhancing operational efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur expanded facility in Varginha is now among the largest and most advanced green coffee processing warehouses in the region, positioning it as a key logistics hub for coffee storage and distribution,\u201d said Arthur Graf, LDC\u2019s Head of Coffee for Brazil. \u201cToday\u2019s inauguration therefore represents a significant milestone for our growth plans in Brazil, reaffirming our long-term commitment to the country and its coffee sector.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The expanded site features enhancements such as robotic loading systems and box silo storage technology, and optimizes space usage to increase storage capacity. The enlarged facility also stands out for its operational safety enhancements, incorporating systems that go beyond national regulatory requirements, in line with the company\u2019s commitment to the safety of employees and partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis expansion will streamline logistics for sourcing from small and medium-sized coffee growers, to meet both domestic distribution and export demand. With increased storage and processing capacity, we can now purchase and receive coffee as soon as farmers are ready to sell, ensuring a more efficient flow of goods, even during peak harvest periods,\u201d added Arthur Graf. \u201cThis offers farmers more convenience and flexibility, enabling them to market their coffee at the most strategic time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With more than 35 years of activity in Brazil\u2019s coffee sector, LDC operates three major processing units in the country today \u2013 in Varginha (MG), Nova Ven\u00e9cia (ES) and Matip\u00f3 (MG) \u2013 along with seven commercial offices in key coffee producing regions, employing some 480 people in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
