Frequently Asked Procurement Questions
What makes Vietnam Robusta Grade 1 Screen 18 the global industry standard?
Vietnam is the world's largest producer of Robusta coffee. Grade 1 Screen 18 represents the highest commercial standard, with large bean size (7.1 mm diameter), low defect count (max 2% black/broken), and high density. It produces heavy body, pronounced chocolate notes, and dense crema, making it an essential component for espresso blends and soluble coffee manufacturing.
How do you ensure compliance with the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR)?
We partner with established farming cooperatives and processing facilities in Dak Lak and Lam Dong that have mapped farm plots with precise GPS polygon geolocation coordinates. Shipments to European Union member states include documentation verifying the coffee was produced on land not subject to deforestation post-December 31, 2020.
What packaging options do you provide for ocean transport?
Standard packaging is 60 kg export-grade natural jute sacks. For specialty micro-lots or high-humidity trade corridors, we insert hermetic GrainPro liners to maintain bean moisture equilibrium and prevent condensation damage. For large industrial soluble plants, we also pack in 20ft dry bulk container liners.
Can you furnish third-party quality inspection certificates?
Yes. Every container shipment is subject to pre-shipment quality verification by accredited independent inspection agencies such as Vinacontrol, Cafecontrol, or SGS, certifying moisture, screen distribution, and defect counts prior to vessel loading.
