About Expocafé

The export house of Colombia's coffee-grower cooperatives

Expocafé — Sociedad Exportadora de Café de las Cooperativas de Caficultores S.A. — is a 100% Colombian company that has exported high-quality Colombian green coffee for more than 38 years, working hand in hand with growers from the cherry on the tree to the cup of the consumer.

Who we are

Growers, cooperatives and a single export partner

Expocafé is the green-coffee export arm of Colombia's coffee-grower cooperatives. Headquartered in Bogotá, we connect the cooperative network — and the thousands of smallholder families behind it — to roasters and importers across the United States, Europe, Asia and beyond.

We are in direct contact with the coffee-producing communities located throughout the Colombian coffee-growing region, and we promote direct communication between our customers and the growers. That structure keeps value close to the people who produce the coffee and gives buyers a transparent, accountable chain of custody.

With more than 38 years of business experience, the Expocafé brand has become a product differentiator — always a guarantee of performance, quality and transparency for our customers around the world.
