Rotterdam, The Netherlands and Londrina, Brazil<\/strong>, March 26, 2024 \u2013 Louis Dreyfus Company (LDC) and Companhia Cacique de Caf\u00e9 Sol\u00favel (Cacique) announced today that the companies have signed a binding agreement for the acquisition of 100% of Cacique shares by LDC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis development is aligned with LDC\u2019s strategy to diversify revenue streams through value-added product lines \u2013 in this case, by accelerating the scale-up of LDC\u2019s soluble coffee business, recently initiated in Vietnam with its iLD Coffee Vietnam<\/em><\/a> joint venture freeze-dried soluble coffee operation, to position LDC among the world\u2019s largest soluble coffee producers,\u201d said Michael Gelchie, LDC\u2019s Chief Executive Officer.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis acquisition will further expand LDC\u2019s business in Brazil, where the Group has been active for over 80 years, complementing our existing green coffee merchandizing operations in the country,\u201d said Ben Clarkson, LDC\u2019s Global Head of Coffee. \u201cWith its in-depth market knowledge and recognized brand in the industry, Cacique\u2019s highly complementary profile will strengthen and consolidate LDC\u2019s soluble coffee activities.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cacique is one of the largest global independent producers, processors and exporters of soluble coffee in terms of volume, with activities in more than 70 countries, best-in-class industrial know-how, two processing assets in Brazil and a strong team of approximately 1,000 employees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are pleased to announce this agreement with LDC, whose global reach and extensive expertise in coffee merchandizing will undoubtedly benefit our network of growers and customers, ensuring continued growth in the years ahead. We are confident that our employees will benefit from this new chapter for Cacique, whose history and culture will be preserved, as will the vision of our founder, Mr. Hor\u00e1cio Coimbra, and his successors,\u201d said Cesario Coimbra, Jo\u00e3o Paulo Coimbra and Hor\u00e1cio Coimbra Neto. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agreement is subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
