Export Process

From cupping table to port of entry

Five steps, the same for every lot regardless of buyer size.

Incoming lots are cupped to SCA protocol; anything below 85 is rejected before it enters the export pipeline.

Cleared lots are graded through the Ethiopian Commodity Exchange (ECX) for defect count, screen size, and moisture.

Buyer confirms lot, volume, and Incoterm — FOB Djibouti or CIF destination port — against a pro forma invoice.

Green coffee is bagged, container-loaded, and dispatched with phytosanitary and certificate-of-origin documentation.

Container and bill-of-lading status shared with the buyer through to arrival at destination port.
