Spearheaded by Sandra Moraes, this initiative focuses on refining post-harvest practices to elevate coffee quality, catering to individual farm characteristics.

North America is identified as a key growth region, with expected annual increases of 20% leading up to 2030.

Today’s consumers prioritize health, sustainability, and transparency regarding their coffee’s origin and qualities.

Expocacer’s efforts in this direction not only meet these demands but also enhance the traceability of their products, strengthening the bond between producers and consumers.

Founded in 1993 in Patrocínio/MG, Expocacer epitomizes the commitment to quality, socio-environmental responsibility, and economic growth.

With storage for 1 million+ bags and 680 producers exporting to 30+ countries, the cooperative boosts Brazilian coffee globally, emphasizing environmental and economic development.
