PATROCINIO, December 17, 2025 – Expocacer, one of Brazil’s leading coffee cooperatives, recently launched Coffee Chain, a groundbreaking digital platform designed to transform how coffee is marketed and sold by producers worldwide.

This milestone marked the beginning of Coffee Chain’s expansion into key global markets and reinforced Expocacer’s commitment to connecting producers directly with international buyers”. The executive adds: “Together with our Essências [Essences] programme, we reinforce our commitment to sustainable development and the excellence of Cerrado Mineiro coffee”.
