Sucafina, leading sustainable Farm to Roaster announced the launch of Sucafina NZ Ltd., establishing their New Zealand based trading team and warehouse spot positions in Auckland and Christchurch, New Zealand.
The Swiss-based coffee company expands its green coffee offerings for local roasters, including microlots in 20kg stacks and access to exclusive coffees sourced from Sucafina’s vertically integrated supply chain.
These coffees will be available for shipping nationwide. Roasters can access all their offerings by making an account on Sucafina’s website, where they can see live quantities for all warehouses, view their own position and find marketing materials.
Sucafina brings decades of coffee trading with operations from East Africa to South America. Existing positions in nearby Australia, Shanghai and Hong Kong means there’s more choice for New Zealand roasters, including mixed pallet shipping.
