Export Operations
Mercon is committed to finding the most passionate, committed, and outstanding producers in regions that are known for exceptional coffee. Our export operations are in Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Brazil, and Vietnam.
We are devoted to continuously reducing the environmental impact of our operations—which is why we’ve worked hand in hand with our producers for over sixty-five years to guarantee that we consistently source the right quality coffee that generates long-term value and benefits for everyone in the supply chain. That means that from the planting stage to the final delivery, our product is not only the right quality—but is also made with the best social, environmental, and agricultural effects in mind.
We truly believe in developing lasting, mutually-beneficial relationships with our producers—which is why we offer the tools they need to grow hand in hand with us. These include*:
Long and short-term financing
Sustainable plantation solutions
Value-fixed transactions
Market information
Dry and wet milling services
* These service capabilities may vary in each of our operations.
