Gostoso Coffee strengthens its global expansion through a strategic public-private partnership with São Roque, São Paulo 🇧🇷, reinforcing Brazil’s position as a global leader in specialty coffee.
Founder & CEO Colin Francis, alongside Co-Founder Josi Francis, presented the development of the Gostoso Coffee Farm—an innovative high-altitude (1,200m) project focused on premium specialty coffee cultivation and designed to position São Roque as a global benchmark in quality, innovation, and sustainable production.
Supported by strong institutional alignment with the municipality, the initiative integrates climate-resilient agriculture and the cultivation of elite coffee varieties sourced from Panama and Costa Rica, adapted to the region’s unique microclimate, addressing the future challenges of global coffee production.
Gostoso Coffee’s global logistics model further strengthens its competitive edge: green coffee beans produced in Brazil will be exported to Dubai and roasted at KARAM Food Industries, one of the Middle East’s largest processing facilities with a capacity of 20 tons per day, before being distributed to an expanding international market.
Founded in 2019, Gostoso Coffee has rapidly scaled its global footprint and now exports to more than 20 countries across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and Oceania—driven by proprietary roasting technology, innovation, and an uncompromising commitment to excellence.
This milestone marks a new chapter in aligning public sector support with private sector leadership, positioning São Roque as an emerging global destination for specialty coffee, investment, and agribusiness innovation.
