From the heart of Brazil’s premier coffee-growing region, Expocacer, the Cooperative of Coffee Growers of the Cerrado, is projecting a landmark US$593 million in revenue for 2025, fueled by unprecedented international demand for its high-quality and sustainably produced beans. This optimistic forecast follows an already record-breaking year, with the cooperative set to close 2024 with US$545 million in revenue—a staggering 58% annual increase.
According to a press release by PR Consulting Global, the growth is propelled by a powerful combination of rising global coffee prices, which have jumped from an average of US$243 to US$400 per bag, and a strategic focus on exports. Today, more than half of Expocacer’s sales are destined for international markets, reaching approximately 40 countries across the globe, including the United States, United Kingdom, Belgium, France, Japan, and South Korea. To consolidate this global presence, the cooperative plans to open a third international hub in Europe next year, building on its existing operational bases in the United States and the United Kingdom.
The UK has emerged as a particularly dynamic market, with British buyers nearly tripling their orders for Expocacer’s regenerative coffee in 2025. This surge is driven by a accelerating demand within the nation's US$4.8 billion coffee market for climate-positive and fully traceable products. A key driver of this growth is the cooperative’s ECO-Score certification, which guarantees rigorous environmental, social, and governance (ESG) compliance and provides consumers with full supply chain transparency.
"Europe is our largest market," affirms Simão Pedro de Lima, the cooperative's Executive President. "We're strengthening our presence there to meet the growing demand for high-quality and sustainably produced Brazilian coffee."
Regenerative coffee farming, a method designed to restore soil health, boost biodiversity, and cut carbon emissions, has become a cornerstone of Expocacer’s success. The cooperative’s producers currently cultivate 23,000 hectares—an area equivalent to roughly 21,000 football pitches—under these innovative systems, yielding approximately 800,000 bags of coffee annually. This approach is resonating strongly with international buyers. "Specialty coffee in the UK is growing at over 10% annually, and regenerative coffee is booming," said Bruna Costa, Director of Bossa Coffee Company in London. "It’s an opportunity to give back to nature; intercropping with multiple plant species between coffee trees brings back wildlife, enriches the soil, and protects pollinators."
To support its expanding operations, Expocacer is investing in a state-of-the-art warehouse in Patrocínio, Minas Gerais. The new facility will employ advanced technology to optimize storage and preserve the quality of the coffee, boosting the cooperative’s static storage capacity from 1 million to 1.6 million bags upon its completion next year. "Innovation and sustainability are central to Expocacer's growth," adds Lima. "We're building the future of coffee production, from the ground up, literally."
As extreme weather conditions increasingly challenge global coffee production in traditional powerhouses like Brazil, Australia, and Vietnam, Expocacer’s pioneering regenerative model positions it at the forefront of a sustainable transformation within the industry. With its record-breaking financial results, expanding international infrastructure, and leadership in eco-conscious farming, Expocacer is not just growing—it is actively redefining responsible coffee production from the Cerrado Mineiro region to coffee cups around the world.
