As an importer or distributor in Europe and Asia, you know that the export process can be a true labyrinth. Beyond finding a quality product, you face logistical and customs challenges that can cause delays, unexpected costs, and, in the worst cases, the loss of your merchandise. Finding a reliable supplier who understands and simplifies this process is a priority for your business.
At Alba Export, we have perfected the art of coffee and cacao export logistics to provide you with a stress-free, transparent, and efficient experience, from the origin in Colombia to your warehouse.
The Maze of International Logistics: The Importer’s Challenge
Importing agricultural products from Latin America to markets like Europe and Asia involves a series of complexities:
- Documentation and Customs: The need to handle endless documents, permits, and customs regulations.
- Security and Compliance: Inspection of the merchandise by authorities and verification of the product’s authenticity.
- Product Integrity: The risk of the coffee or cacao being damaged during the long journey due to humidity, temperature changes, or improper handling.
- Delivery Times: Delays at ports and lack of communication can affect your scheduling and the promise you make to your customers.
Alba Export: Your Expert Logistics Manager in Coffee and Cacao Export
At Alba Export, our commitment to excellence extends to every link in the chain, including logistics. We have designed a process that gives you peace of mind and security:
- Specialized Transport: For land transport, we use trucks suitable for food products, ensuring your product is handled under the best hygiene and safety conditions from the origin.
- Verification and Compliance at Port: Before shipping, our product undergoes strict inspection by antinarcotics, phytosanitary, and quality control authorities. We ensure that each coffee batch meets the negotiated quality conditions (including origin and moisture) and that the cacao meets fermentation and moisture specifications.
- Superior Quality Packaging: To protect the integrity of the beans during their journey, we pack our coffee in jute sacks and GrainPro bags, which protect the product from adverse conditions (environmental or mechanical). Cacao is packed in jute sacks, ensuring its freshness and quality remain intact.
- Top-Tier Containers and Shipping Lines: Your product is loaded into containers specially lined for food products and exported through top-tier shipping lines, sealed, and with maximum security guarantees.
- Simplified FOB Terms: We offer FOB terms as our standard, which gives you control over logistics from the port delivery. However, if you need it, we can manage the export under CIF terms for your convenience.
