COOXUPÉ began its activities in grading, quality control and commercialization back in 1957. After achieving consistency of its standards and considerable volume of production, in 1984 the board of Directors decided to open an Export Department in Santos staffed with experienced professionals. Today, COOXUPÉ is the largest private coffee cooperative in the world with 12.000 members with
farms in the prime growing areas of Minas Gerais and São Paulo, producing Brazil’s finest Arabica coffees.

In 2008, COOXUPÉ inaugurated a new coffee analysis laboratory in Guaxupé with the latest technical and informational advances to classify and manage their present and future coffee capacity. A computerized bar-code system was introduced to enable Coop members to know the quality and track the preparation and destination of their coffees from time of delivery to export or local sale.

Nowadays, out of our 12 000 members, 43% are already participating in sustainable programs, where the high quality, the care with the environment and the respect for social aspects are paramount. All these programs have full traceability, giving our customers transparency and reliability towards final consumer.
