Since 1990, Organic Products Trading Company has been working directly with small-scale farmers around the world to source high quality green specialty coffee. Our business is built on long-term relationships with Certified Organic and Fair Trade co-operatives as well as conventional farms that focus on improving their communities, their families, and their environment. OPTCO's mission is to support coffee producers by providing market access, in addition to collaborating on development projects, gender equality initiatives, harvest finance, and quality improvement programs. Join the effort to support coffee communities by sourcing your certified and conventional beans with OPTCO. We believe that family is important and “Organic” is more than a trend. We believe that farmers should earn fair wages and helping to build community should be part of every business. We believe coffee should always taste great and great coffee can be the vehicle to create a better world. As importers, we see first hand where coffee comes from and feel responsible for how that coffee arrives into the consumer market. For more than 20 years, we have been traveling to the remote mountain areas that produce the world’s best beans. Despite many changes within the coffee industry, we still feel it is vital to meet face to face with our suppliers. We visit farmers and share meals and cups of coffee in kitchens. We discuss the harvest with cooperatives, and talk about how to strengthen business in the coming years. Often, that means providing other forms of support such as market information, pre-finance loans, or collaborating on development programs in education, health, infrastructure, and technical assistance. OPTCO has been strengthening these relationships for over two decades and is proud to stand by its producer groups and share their coffee, and their stories with roasters and consumers around the world.
