Coffee

Each year the world produces approximately 10 million tons of coffee, the two main species of which are Arabica and Robusta.

Milder, more aromatic and with less caffeine, Arabica coffee makes up the bulk of world production. It is grown mainly at higher altitudes in tropical and temperate regions of the Western Hemisphere, Brazil being the world’s largest producer.

Vietnam is the largest producer of Robusta coffee, which is largely grown at lower altitudes in tropical Asia and Africa.

Brazil is the world’s leading producer of coffee overall, followed by Vietnam, Colombia and Indonesia. The EU (as a region) consumes the most coffee, followed by the US, Brazil and Japan.

Our Coffee Platform in China originates, stores and exports green Arabica & Robusta coffee beans to roasters around the world.

We have built the capacity to source different qualities of green coffee beans in volume through our strict cupping and quality control and are able to provide different grades to serve the demand of our roaster clients.

To better serve our clients in the vicinity, we have an office in Shanghai where the coffee team can offer our expertise in all aspects of the supply chain from greens to roasted coffee.

We are constantly on the lookout for more partnerships and investment opportunities in our goal to create a more efficient and sustainable Coffee Value Chain.

We are contributing to sustainability developments across the coffee industry, not only through certification programs, but also with roaster and country specific projects, and through continuous efforts toward responsible sourcing.
