Bangkok--Aug 17--Milan Crosse Partners
Thailand’s leading vertically integrated coffee company, Boncafe, has entered into an export agreement to supply clients in Russia. The first export container left Thailand early this month.
Making the announcement Boncaf (Thailand) Managing Director, Khun Maleerat Thanaprachoom said that “the ground breaking success in Russia followed on the Boncafe pioneering initiative in exhibiting at the World Food Exposition in Moscow in 2004. With the very established Boncafe presence in the Middle East, particularly in the 6-star Al Jumeirah Hotel Group, the break through in Russia proved the market potential and acceptability of Thai coffee in the very competitive international marketplace.
“We will continue to aggressively pursue new opportunities in the export arena” Khun Pavinee Khetphanasant Boncafe Export Manager said.
Boncafe witnessed double-digit growth of 17% in roast & ground coffee exports in the first half of 2005, said Khun Maleerat Thanaprachoom.
Boncafe was first introduced to Thailand in 1992 and has continuously expanded to its position today, as Thailand’s leading fully integrated Thai coffee company. Boncafe sources Arabica coffee beans from growers in the North of Thailand and Robusta coffee beans from growers in the South of Thailand for roasting and packaging at its Chonburi processing plant. In addition to the Middle East, Boncafe has sixteen branch offices located throughout Thailand and Indochina, servicing the food & beverage industry.
