In the competitive specialty coffee market, a reliable partner is your most valuable asset. As an importer, roaster, or distributor in Europe and Asia, you understand that the risk of inconsistent quality can compromise your reputation. Added to this is the challenge of navigating international regulations, such as the new European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), which demands impeccable traceability.
At Alba Export, we have structured our operation to be the solution to these challenges. More than an exporter, we are the strategic partner that guarantees you not only exceptional coffee, but a clear and secure path to meet global standards, protecting your business and elevating your brand.
The Challenge of Inconsistent Quality and Its Impact on Your Brand
The promise of specialty coffee is built on the consistency of its flavor profile and its high cup score. However, finding a supplier that maintains this quality batch after batch can be a real challenge. A variation in the profile or a defective lot can damage your customers’ trust and your brand’s value. Fluctuating quality affects your processes, your profitability, and ultimately, the promise you make to your consumers.
At Alba Export, we tackle this problem head-on. Our commitment is to produce replicable cups scoring above 86+ SCA points, thanks to an investment in cutting-edge post-harvest processing technology. This allows us precise control over key variables such as temperature, pH, and fermentation times. Our technology not only ensures quality but standardizes it, giving you the peace of mind that every shipment will meet the promised standard.
Alba Export: More Than a Bean, a Commitment to Excellence
Our focus on quality goes beyond technology. We believe excellence is born at the origin and cultivated through relationships. At Alba Export, we seek to establish direct and fraternal relationships with producers. This allows for close collaboration, process oversight, and the guarantee that every farmer shares our commitment to quality.
To back up our promise, our coffees hold certifications that validate the sustainability of our work:
- Organic Crop Verification: Ensuring clean and ecosystem-respecting practices.
- Adherence to Rainforest Alliance Standards: A commitment to biodiversity and worker well-being.
- Carbon Neutrality: Continuous progress in reducing our environmental footprint, a value increasingly sought by conscious consumers.
These certifications are not just labels; they are proof of our mission and values, and the foundation of responsible sourcing that sets you apart in your market.
Navigating Regulatory Complexity: The EUDR Challenge
The European Union’s new regulation on deforestation-free products (EUDR) ha-s added a layer of complexity to the coffee market. The requirements for due diligence and full traceability can be an obstacle without the right partner. Your business needs the certainty that your supply chain complies with these regulations, avoiding penalties and protecting your reputation.
At Alba Export, we are at the forefront of these regulations. We offer you a completely transparent export process that allows you to demonstrate the ethical and legal origin of every bean. We handle the documentation and verification necessary for you to comply with EUDR seamlessly, solidifying your position as a reliable supplier in your market.
