Our Story
At EFICO we have been sourcing and trading green coffee since 1926. We work with coffee producers and suppliers at origin and with partner roasters across Europe.
Our teams at origin and in our European sales offices work closely together, combining local market knowledge with expertise in coffee quality, trading, logistics and customer service. Together, we source coffees from around the world and supply them to roasters across Europe.
Quality and sustainability are central to how we source, trade and supply green coffee.
Our Expertise
Green coffee is our business. Over the years, we have built expertise across sourcing, coffee quality, trading, logistics and the markets we serve.
Our teams work closely with producer and roaster partners to source coffees that meet specific requirements, from origin and variety to physical quality and cup profile. We follow market developments and share relevant coffee and market information with our customers.
Our dedicated green coffee warehouse at SEABRIDGE in Zeebrugge provides professional storage and handling, supporting the movement of coffee from port to roaster doorstep.
Our Responsibility
We source coffee responsibly, considering social, environmental and economic factors in the countries and communities where we operate. We support coffee farmers, protect natural resources and contribute to the resilience of coffee production.
The EFICO Foundation, established in 2003, supports farmers’ livelihoods and prosperity while contributing to environmental protection.
We maintain an open dialogue with our partners and assess our activities to identify areas for improvement and action.
Our Vision
We believe the future of coffee depends on viable coffee farming, diverse origins and relationships built for the long term.
For EFICO, this means staying close to coffee production and trade, understanding what is changing across origins and markets, and building partnerships that can adapt over time.
Our vision is to remain a trusted connector between coffee origins and European roasters, bringing together knowledge, market understanding and long-term relationships.
Our Values
Trust, respect and long-term partnerships are at the heart of how we work. We value open relationships and a clear understanding of what our partners need.
Integrity, flexibility and quality guide our daily work -from sourcing and trading to the activities of the EFICO Foundation.
We remain open to new ideas and support initiatives that contribute to a resilient coffee sector and lasting value for people and the environment.
Our Policy
Quality and food safety are fundamental to how we work. We aim to provide safe, compliant and traceable green coffee and reliable services to our partners, while continuously improving our processes.
We recognise the social, economic and environmental impact of our activities and strive to conduct our business responsibly. Our approach is guided by the principles of the United Nations Global Compact and the Sustainable Development Goals.
