Noordpoort Coffee Company

What Noordpoort Coffee Company does

Noordpoort Coffee Company is a specialty green coffee importer and trader headquartered in Breda, the Netherlands, founded in 2023. The company sources green coffee from approximately ten origin countries including Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia, and Vietnam, and resells to European coffee roasters under both spot and forward-contract structures. Its spot portfolio spans roughly fourteen Arabica and Robusta SKUs at indicative prices of USD 3.95-7.50 per kilogram depending on origin, grade, and cup score, while its contract offering covers Uganda Drugar, Uganda Robusta, and Rwanda Fully Washed tiers priced off New York and ICE references for future loading.

Operationally, Noordpoort runs an origin-side quality control network consisting of in-house laboratories in Kampala (Uganda), Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam), Addis Ababa (Ethiopia), Buenaventura and Santos (Brazil), staffed by a Uganda team manager and Uganda office quality manager. Quality control is conducted against SCA and CQI standards using professional equipment measuring water activity, moisture, and density. On the destination side, the company holds spot warehousing in Antwerp (Belgium) and Tallinn (Estonia), with satellite sales offices in Helsinki and Antwerp, enabling flexible fulfillment from single bags to full containers to roasters across Europe.

The business model is transaction-based commodity trading: revenue is generated per kilogram sold, with pricing varying by origin, quality, screen size, and processing method, and with hedge structures (NY +/- basis, ICE + points) used for forward contracts. The go-to-market is sales-led and field-driven, with eight named professionals covering sales, key account management, QC, logistics, and regional operations. Marketing is concentrated at European coffee trade shows (Nordic Coffee Festival, World of Coffee Geneva, Coffee Europe Expo, Tallinn and Helsinki Coffee Festivals, CoffeEast) with cupping sessions as the primary engagement format. The company holds Skal Biocontrole organic certification and conforms to the Rainforest Alliance Sustainable Agriculture Standard, supporting access to certified-coffee procurement programs.
