Company Profile

Coffee has strong historical roots in Brazil. The first seeds sprouted in the 18th century for own consumption. In the 19th century, it spread throughout various parts of the country and changed the direction of the Brazilian colonial and imperial economy. In the 20th century, it would come to play an important role in Brazilian agribusiness, however at the end of the millenium, the agricultural growth of other crops resulted in this green gold losing its lead in the Brazilian market.

New global behaviors related to food have also had a significant influence on the changes to Brazilian agriculture. The world began to demand not just quantity but also quality.

The Brazil Specialty Coffee Association (BSCA) was founded in 1991 through the initiative of 12 pioneers and entrepreneurs who looked beyond their time, envisioning the commercial opportunities that investing in quality would bring.

BSCA is a non-profit association that brings together people and companies in the Brazilian and international specialty coffee markets. It seeks to disseminate and stimulate technological improvement in the production, commercialization and industrialization of these products, in addition to promoting, mainly in the coffee areas, environmental preservation and environmentally sustainable development through programs, projects and partnerships with entities both public and private, domestic and foreign.

The objective of BSCA is, through research, to spread quality control techniques and promote products, to elevate the standards of excellence of Brazilian coffees offered on the domestic and international markets. It is the only Brazilian institution to certify lots and monitor specialty coffee quality control seals, with comprehensive tracking via individualized numbering, which can be consulted by the consumer through the site (www.bsca.com.br).
