Prime Brasil

What Prime Brasil does

Prime Commercial Imports & Exports (commercial name: Prime Brasil, website: lokococo.com.br) is a privately held Brazilian agro-food commodity exporter founded in 2004 and headquartered at R. Dr. Bacelar, 784, Vila Clementino, São Paulo. The company sources agricultural products from a network of 500+ certified partner farms across Brazil's principal growing regions and exports eight product categories — Premium Coffee (Arabica and Robusta beans), Soybeans and Corn, Sugar and Sugarcane derivatives, Premium Nuts (cashews, Brazil nuts, macadamia), Vegetable Oils (soybean, palm, corn, sunflower), Wood Pulp (bleached eucalyptus kraft), Tropical Fruits (fresh, frozen, pulp, concentrate), and Custom Solutions (private labeling, custom packaging, blending). Output is sold to global food and industrial manufacturers, refineries, crushing facilities, roasters, distributors, retailers, and specialty/premium buyers across more than 50 countries in Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas, with logistics routed primarily through Santos, Paranaguá, Rio Grande, and Vitória ports via FCL/LCL ocean freight and selective air freight.

The company operates a transaction-based revenue model: sales are executed through direct B2B export contracts with pricing quoted in USD per order under Incoterms 2020 (FOB Santos, CIF, CFR), settled via Letter of Credit or wire transfer, with minimum order quantities set by product category. Customer acquisition is driven by inbound quote requests through the company website and by B2B trade show participation; there is no marketplace or intermediated distribution. Distribution is exclusively direct, with no resellers or third-party platforms. The company holds an unusually broad certification portfolio — approximately 18 internationally recognized credentials spanning ISO 9001, HACCP, ISO 27001, Rainforest Alliance, Bonsucro, FSC, RTRS, GlobalGAP, UTZ, RSPO, BRC, FSSC 22000, ISCC, RFS2, PEFC, CERFLOR, Organic, and Fair Trade — which gate access to regulated end-markets and retail private-label buyers.

On the operations side, the firm reports a digital transformation completed in 2020 that introduced digital supply chain management with end-to-end farm-to-port traceability, multi-stage quality testing (origin inspection, pre-shipment analysis, third-party laboratory verification), cold-chain management for ocean and air freight, and documentation/insurance/tracking automation. The company employs 54 staff, claims to export more than 1M tons annually, and is owned and led by founder CEO Carlos Eduardo Silva with a small executive team (COO Maria Santos Oliveira, Head of International Sales Roberto Fernandes, QA Director Ana Paula Costa). No external institutional funding, parent company, or M&A activity has been disclosed.
