| Harvesting is going on in the Conquista, Capoeirinha and Rio Verde Farms. Over 97,000 bags have already been sold to clients abroad. “Owing to the consistency, the quality of our labels (Gourmet, Ouro Preto, Conquista, Ipanema Espresso, Dulce, Euro and Bourbon – an exclusive blend sold to Starbucks), the large demand and the confidence of our clients, we are selling our coffees sooner every year. We have already commercialized bags until 2011”, said Washington Rodrigues, president of Ipanema Coffees. The estimates for this year are that production will reach 140,000 bags. Bags are already being shipped to Ipanema’s clients located in more than 15 countries: Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. |
