Company record

Twenty five years on the same trade route

Buyers evaluating an unfamiliar exporter ask three questions. Does the company exist, how long has it been doing this, and can it execute. The record below answers the first two.

2001

Start of joint operations in Brazil, originating agricultural commodities for the domestic industry.

2010

Merger with M.You.D in the United States, establishing a permanent commercial base in Florida.

2021

Established presence in the US and European markets through a high volume of completed transactions.

2025

Adoption of a complete door to door freight solution, extending our control beyond the port of discharge.

2026

Expansion of the specialty coffee programme and consolidation of US warehouse stock for flexible delivery.

Our mission

Connecting small producers to large industries.

We strengthen the agricultural supply chain efficiently and fairly. Importers gain direct access to high quality products at a fair price, without the layers of intermediaries that inflate cost and blur traceability.

Led by women, the company treats exporting as an engine of social influence. Every contract generates jobs at origin and supports humanitarian causes in the regions where we source.

Our commitment is straightforward. Bring the excellence of the Brazilian field to the international market, cultivate progress along the way, and nurture the future of everyone in the chain.

Cultivating progress. Nurturing the future.

How we operate

From the field to the final destination.

Our operation begins with strategic prospecting and personalised service that connects producers to global demand. We curate the best market options, guarantee high quality at a fair price, and then take control of the chain.

1

Sourcing and curation

Direct prospecting with producers, quality verification and fair price negotiation.

2

Compliance and documentation

Customs procedures, tariffs, inspection and full regulatory compliance handled in house.

3

Field to port logistics

Coordinated transport with technical rigour, minimising cost and transit time.

4

Door to door delivery

When required, we assume total control of the chain right through to your facility.

Our approach

How we build reliable trade relationships

Opening a commodity relationship is easy. Sustaining one across twenty years is a different discipline. Four principles have carried ours.

Direct origination

We buy at the farm and at the mill, not from a chain of brokers. Fewer hands means a fairer price at origin and a lower landed cost for you.

Compliance handled in house

Customs procedures, tariff classification, phytosanitary paperwork and third party inspection are managed by our own compliance department.

Door to door capability

Since 2025 we operate a complete door to door freight solution. When the contract calls for it, we carry responsibility for the chain right through to your facility.

People, not portals

You get a named director on your account. The same person from the first quote through to the final delivery confirmation.

Quality, compliance and regulatory standing

Registered, inspected and documented

A container held at customs is worth nothing. Our operation is built to satisfy the regulators on both ends of the route before the cargo ever moves.

Regulatory documentation

Regulatory registration

We operate as an FDA registered exporter and adhere to United States and Canadian import standards on every shipment.

A M.You.D brand

The Coffee Verde

Our specialty green coffee label, built for small and mid size roasters who were tired of being told that container minimums were the only option. Single origin from Cerrado Mineiro D.O. in Minas Gerais, shipped to roasteries in Florida and beyond.

Three grades, full traceability back to the farm, and no minimum order drama. One bag at a time, if that is what the roaster needs.

Operational record

Coffee supply programme, Brazil to Florida

A mid sized specialty coffee roaster in Florida approached us for a single trial lot. Twelve months later the account runs on a recurring supply agreement with no customs holds recorded on any shipment.

The programme was built on producer visits during harvest, cupping sessions run with the buyer, and documentation prepared ahead of every departure rather than in response to a problem.

Trade intelligence

What we tell buyers before they sign

Four points that decide whether a Brazilian sourcing programme runs smoothly or becomes a recurring problem.

Port operations

Proximity is a real advantage, and it is underused

Florida sits closer to Brazilian ports than most European or Asian buyers, and the trade routes between the two regions are long established. Transit from Santos to Jacksonville runs in the range of fourteen to twenty one days, which is short enough to keep working capital moving. Buyers who plan their calendar around that window carry less safety stock and absorb less price volatility than buyers who treat every shipment as a one off purchase.

Refined sugar

The specification matters more than the colour rating

ICUMSA 45 is a colour rating, not a full specification. Writing a purchase contract on colour alone leaves the important parameters open. Polarization at a minimum of 99.80 degrees, moisture and ash at a maximum of 0.04 per cent, and reducing sugars under control are what actually determine whether the sugar cakes in transit, performs in your formulation, and passes your own incoming inspection. Ask for the full parameter set before signing, and make the certificate of analysis a condition of final payment.

Import documentation

Documentation failures cost more than price differences

The Brazilian regulatory environment is complex, and the most expensive mistakes importers make are administrative rather than commercial. A cargo held at the port of discharge accrues demurrage, occupies working capital and can miss the production window it was bought for. Saving a few dollars per tonne on a supplier who cannot prepare a clean documentation package is a false economy. Verify the export licences, the phytosanitary certificates and the tariff classification before the first shipment, not during it.

Buyer meeting

Relationships are infrastructure, not courtesy

In Brazilian business culture, trust between the parties carries the weight that a contract clause carries elsewhere. That is not sentimentality, it is operational. A supplier who knows your production calendar will call you when a lot comes in early. A buyer who has visited the farm knows what to expect from a difficult harvest. Face to face contact is what turns a spot purchase into a supply programme, and it is the single strongest predictor of whether an origin relationship survives its second year.

FAQ

Questions importers ask us first

We originate, verify and export Brazilian agricultural commodities and processed ingredients, including sugar, coffee, cocoa, eggs, fruit concentrates, dried fruit powders, butter and strategic minerals. Beyond sourcing we handle compliance documentation, third party inspection, freight coordination, warehousing and, when required, door to door delivery. We quote competitive rates for spot transactions as well as long term contracts, and packaging can be customised to carry the buyer logo and specification.

Yes. We handle the documentation and compliance requirements for goods leaving Brazil and deliver CIF to the destination port. Our operation adheres to FDA, SFCR and USDA regulatory requirements, ensuring compliance with United States and Canadian import standards. Our suppliers also follow international human rights standards and local labour regulations.

Yes. We provide end to end logistics support including transportation, warehousing and distribution to optimise supply chain efficiency. We also provide proof of product, quality certifications and logistics assurance on every transaction. Our United States warehouse stock allows flexible delivery rather than dependence on each individual sailing.

Food and beverage manufacturing, sugar and sweeteners, coffee roasting, chocolate and confectionery, juice and concentrate processing, distribution and wholesale, plus industrial buyers of minerals. If your sector is not listed, tell us in the registration form. The sourcing process is the same.

It depends on the commodity. Sugar and bulk contracts are structured for industrial volume, typically 10,000 MT monthly shipments across a twelve month agreement, although we also quote spot transactions. Specialty coffee through our Coffee Verde label starts at a single bag, with samples from 250 g. Tell us your volume and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right partner.

Standard contract pricing is quoted on a CIF basis, with cost, insurance and freight included to your named port. FOB, CFR, DAP and DDP are available on request. To issue a formal quote we need the product type and quantity, the timeframe and port of destination, and your target price.
