Cooxupé addresses stock and needs of the coffee market at International Seminar

From May 21st to 23rd, the XXIV International Coffee Seminar - Santos Brasil 2024 will take place at the Blue Med Convention Center, in the city of Santos. The president of Cooxupé, Carlos Augusto Rodrigues de Melo, has a confirmed presence and will mediate the lecture "Is the current surplus large enough to satisfy market needs?", together with CEOs Teddy Esteve (General Director Ecom Agroindustrial Corp), Trishul Mandana (General Director of Coffee – Volcafé) and Ben Clarkson (Global Director of Coffee Platform at Louis Dreyfus Company). The meeting will be on May 22nd, at 16pm.

"Brazil is the largest producer and exporter of coffee in the world and, certainly, the country's stocks are always in evidence in the face of the demands of the domestic and international markets. This debate aims to present how Brazil finds itself in this scenario and the its role in the global coffee supply", says Melo, president of the cooperative.

In addition to the lecture, Cooxupé will bring its Generations Protocol to the event, presenting to the international community the work carried out with more than 19 thousand members in relation to the ESG Agenda. The cooperative will also be the official cafeteria of the Seminar, serving the public the superior Prima Qualità coffee.
