Direct Trade Fulfillment - how farmers and roasters send their own coffee to Europe

COL-SPIRIT Fulfillment Program – Direct trade without detours

The coffee and cocoa industry is still rife with colonial structures: Producers sell to cooperatives, traders dictate prices, and ultimately, farmers are left with little more than the world market price. But there's another way. With the COL-SPIRIT Fulfillment Program , we give farmers, roasters, and coffee hunters the opportunity to implement true direct trade—freely, independently, and with a clear focus on quality.

What makes our program possible

With our FCL (Full Container Load) container shipments from Colombia to Europe, farmers have the opportunity to send their coffee or cocoa directly to their customers – without intermediaries.

• Direct contact : Farmers manage their customer relationships themselves.
• Own pricing : No dependence on the world market or cooperatives.
• Entrepreneurial freedom : Farmers act not only as producers, but as business partners on equal terms.
• Better margins : Higher sales prices and significantly better profit margins improve living conditions and enable investments in land, family and the future.

The result? Freedom.

How does it work?

To participate in the fulfillment program as a farmer and calculate your prices for the European market, you only need three pieces of information:

1. Payout in Colombia : What price should be paid per kilogram in Colombia?
2. Packaging units : In which formats should the lots be transported (24 kg vacuum box, 35 kg or 70 kg in Sisal & Grainpro)?
3. Lots & Volume : How big are the individual lots to be transported?

Based on this information, any farmer or roaster can determine the costs from a price matrix or request a quote directly from COL-SPIRIT .

All prices are customs cleared to the warehouse in Germany and are therefore free for sale throughout Europe.

Why is the fulfillment program the sweet spot?

Social media is creating more connections between roasters and farmers than ever before. However, the practical implementation of exports and imports often falters – especially for smaller volumes. This is precisely where our fulfillment comes in:

• Efficiency through FCL : We bundle transports for many producers and thus create price advantages.
• Security : Every delivery is fully insured.
• Reliability : Over 80 farmers have already successfully supplied their customers – with an impressive return rate of over 90% .
• Time savings : We handle the entire door-to-door process – from the farm to the roasting plant’s warehouse.

Who is the program for?

• Farmers – who seek direct market access
• Roasters – who want to build reliable direct trade relationships
• Coffee Hunter & Trader – who need to handle small-volume exports and imports efficiently
