Robusta from the Congolese lowlands
The lower, warmer zones of North Kivu and Ituri around Beni have a long tradition of Robusta. Smallholders dry the cherries naturally; we buy the coffee, check it and prepare it for export in Beni.
It is a dependable Robusta for espresso and commercial blends, traceable to the farm.

Bought by our own team
MD TRADE Sarl, our company in Beni, records weight, moisture and photos of every lot at the moment of purchase, so each bag can be traced back.
Prepared for export at origin
A coffee only becomes exportable after preparation: hulling, screening, density sorting and hand sorting, with moisture measured before bagging. Our own export specification follows ISO 10470 and the East African standard EAS 130.
EUDR traceability
Plots are registered with consent and GPS boundaries in our own field app, and every lot is linked to its plots of origin. Farmers register for free. More on www.mdtrade.cd/eudr.
Logistics
Lots are consolidated in Beni and shipped through Kampala and Mombasa to Antwerp, Felixstowe or direct to the buyer.
