Coffee Value Chain

At EFICO, we connect producer partners at origin with roaster partners across Europe, building long-term relationships across the coffee value chain. Our local offices in Ethiopia, Brazil, and Guatemala give us a year-round presence at origin and keep us close to our producer partners.
We combine first-hand knowledge of both origin and European markets with expertise in coffee trading and logistics, creating value for our partners across the coffee value chain.

We manage our supply chain efficiently and effectively, creating value for our customers.
Our origin offices and close relationships with producer partners give us global reach and access to coffees from around the world. We source locally at origin and provide green coffee and tailor-made supply chain solutions to meet our customers’ needs.
At our SEABRIDGE warehouse at the Port of Antwerp-Bruges, coffee is stored and handled under carefully controlled conditions, preserving its quality and integrity throughout the supply chain.

Moving coffee from origin to roaster involves a range of operational and commercial risks, including logistics, security, financial, quality, regulatory, and supply chain risks.
Our experienced team has the knowledge and expertise to identify, assess, and manage these risks effectively, while ensuring compliance with relevant regulations and requirements.
This helps ensure a reliable and uninterrupted flow of coffee from origin to roaster.

We embed sustainability throughout the coffee value chain, working with our partners to promote responsible practices, improve traceability, and support sustainable livelihoods.
We collaborate with industry organisations and certification schemes, including  Fairtrade, Rainforest Alliance, Organic, and 4C.
By embracing collaboration, innovation, and change, we contribute to a coffee industry that is resilient, economically viable, and fit for the future.
