AFA Coffee Directorate buyer's licence
Roasted consignments to Europe and the United States
Arabica AA, AB, PB, C · Robusta Screen 12, 16, 18
Whole bean, ground, unroasted · 100 g to 50 kg
We buy at the exchange, mill, grade and roast under one roof in Nairobi, so lead times hold and the cup repeats from one batch to the next.
Two ways to buy from Piko
Wholesale and export
Roasted or ground to your profile, packed to suit the shipment. We hold the buyer’s licence, so buying, value addition and export paperwork stay with one company. Consignments have gone to the USA and Russia.
