Today we not only celebrate International Coffee Day, but also the changing role of women in the coffee value chain – a theme chosen by the International Coffee Organization (ICO) to mark this occasion across the world.

Sucafina SA's Geneva office has undergone an extension and renovation, making it an even better place to work.

In an effort to support early childhood development in Rwanda, the Tamari Foundation in partnership with Imbuto Foundation and in collaboration with UNICEF Rwanda officially inaugurated on July 9, 2018, an Early Childhood Development (ECD) Center in Rutsiro District.

Sucafina employees in Brazil and Colombia are feeling happier and more comfortable following the renovation of their local offices. The workplaces look brighter and are equipped with brand new art furniture and kitchen. The walls are even painted with urban street art.

During TXF's global commodity finance dinner, held in Amsterdam on May 17, Sucafina was privileged to win the Overall Commodities Finance Deal of the Year Award as part of the Perfect 10 Deals of the Year awards for commodity finance.

This International Women's Day we're sharing details of our partnership with the International Trade Centre and Jacobs Douwe Egberts (JDE), which aims to empower female coffee producers in Rwanda and strengthen their participation at all levels of the supply chain.

Sucafina has reached a milestone this month, celebrating 40 years of history. Four decades on, the company has grown from the dream of its founder – Abdallah W. Tamari – to a company with over 850 employees in 23 countries.

Sucafina is pleased to announce the successful closing of a senior secured US $300 million Syndicated Borrowing Base Facility. Participating in this 11-bank syndicate are long-time bilateral lenders to Sucafina as well as new partners.
