General information
- Short Summary
- Colombian speciality coffee producer located in Antioquia seeks commercial agreements to export green or roasted coffee with guaranteed traceability. It also proposes alliances for the development of agro-tourism experiences centred on coffee and the region's traditional gastronomy.
- Full Description
-
Located in rural Antioquia, Colombia, this company is dedicated to growing and processing speciality coffee under agro-ecological conditions. The farm is located at 1,700 metres above sea level, in an environment with ideal microclimates for the development of Arabica varieties with defined sensory profiles. Priority is given to selective harvesting and careful post-harvest processing to preserve the quality of the beans.
The company has its own sales outlets, which ensure the preparation of coffee under origin standards. In addition, the company operates a restaurant focused on regional gastronomy, where more than 70 % of the inputs are sourced from local producers. This approach contributes to strengthening short marketing circuits and preserving the culinary identity of the territory.
From the production approach to the final service, the company applies an integrated chain model that ensures traceability, transparency and sustainability. It also promotes responsible agricultural practices, encourages fair trade with small producers and actively participates in the rural development of its community.
As part of its model, it offers tourist experiences on the farm, where visitors can learn about the entire coffee process and explore local food traditions. The purpose of international cooperation is to expand the marketing channels for speciality coffee, as well as to establish alliances to promote cultural tourism linked to the origin of the product. - Advantages and Innovations
-
The company directly manages all stages of the process, from cultivation to final consumption, which allows for quality control and reduces intermediaries. This closed model promotes a local circular economy and strengthens the economic and social sustainability of the environment.
Its proposal integrates agricultural production, traditional gastronomy and tourist experiences in the same space, creating a model of territorial valorisation. Through catering with local ingredients and educational agrotourism, ancestral knowledge is articulated with contemporary sustainable practices. Beyond the product, the capacity to generate cultural and social value in each link of the chain is highlighted. - Technical Specification or Expertise Sought
-
The company seeks to establish cooperation with entities that have proven experience in export and distribution of specialty coffee, both green and roasted beans. It is important that the partner has technical knowledge of optimal storage and transport conditions that guarantee the preservation of the sensory and physical quality of the coffee throughout the logistic chain.
The handling of traceability systems that allow documenting the origin, agricultural practices and processing conditions of the coffee, as well as familiarity with responsible purchasing and sustainable sourcing criteria, will be particularly valued.
Additionally, partners developing or participating in agro-tourism initiatives, experiential tourism or gastronomic routes linked to products of origin will be considered. Experience in this area would facilitate the promotion of guided tours of the farm, aimed at educating visitors about coffee cultivation, post-harvest processing and traditional local cuisine.
Previous experience in working with small agricultural producers, cooperatives or farmer associations would also be appreciated, given the territorial and community approach of the proposing company. - Stage of Development
