Expocaccer, Cooperative of Cerrado Coffee Growers, announced the inauguration of a branch in the United States. Expocraccer USA, as it will be called, will aim to facilitate the distribution of products in the United States. The North American country is the main importer of Brazilian coffee, and was responsible for 20% of national exports from the convenience in 2022.

“We evaluated the market a few years ago and realized that we would have space, we matured the idea and moved forward through the opening of Expocaccer USA. We understand that our export volume, when compared to the American demand, can be much higher, and being present locally we will have the opportunity to get closer to the final consumer through our partners, showing the excellence of the coffees from the cerrado region of Minas Gerais” , says Simão Pedro de Lima, superintendent director of Expocraccer.

Expocraccer is a cooperative of coffee growers that has more than 650 coffee producers in the cerrado region of Minas Gerais, and has been operating in the field for 30 years.
