Coffee Export Logistics
End-to-End Export Green Coffee Handling
Kenya Co-operative Coffee Exporters Limited specialises exclusively in the logistics of green coffee beans, managing every stage of export handling from warehouse to vessel with systems and controls designed specifically for coffee quality, compliance, and traceability. From the moment coffee is approved for shipment, our logistics team coordinates vessel booking, container allocation, and shipping schedules in line with buyer requirements and destination timelines. Coffee is prepared for export through careful bagging, marking, and consolidation to ensure lot integrity and traceability are preserved throughout the supply chain.
Container booking and loading are handled under strict supervision, with attention to proper stuffing, sealing, and documentation. Our team manages port release procedures and coordinates all export processes with Kenya Revenue Authority and Kenya Ports Authority, ensuring that each shipment meets regulatory requirements before departure. Buyers are kept informed at every stage, with regular updates provided until the container is confirmed on board and departs the Port of Mombasa.
Our fully fledged logistics department brings extensive industry experience and works closely with international buyers. We remain flexible and are able to ship using a buyer’s preferred shipping line or airline, ensuring alignment with existing supply chains and commercial arrangements.
Full Export Documentation
Kenya Co-operative Coffee Exporters facilitates and processes all required export documentation to support smooth international trade and customs clearance at destination. This includes phytosanitary certification, ICO documentation, Certificates of Origin, fumigation certificates, tallying reports, packing lists, and commercial invoices.
Where destination markets require additional documentation, our team works closely with regulators, inspection agencies, and buyers to ensure all requirements are met accurately and on time. Each document is cross-checked against shipment details to maintain consistency, reduce delays, and protect the integrity of the transaction from origin to destination.
Certifications Supporting Trade Compliance
Our certifications are a core part of how we operate responsibly and reliably in global coffee trade. By working within Rainforest Alliance and Fairtrade frameworks, we ensure that the coffee we handle meets internationally recognised standards for environmental stewardship, ethical labour practices, and transparent supply chains. These standards are not treated as labels, but as working guidelines that shape how coffee is sourced, documented, and moved from cooperative level to export.
This commitment supports long-term sustainability for farming communities while giving buyers confidence that each shipment aligns with responsible sourcing expectations and evolving regulatory requirements. Compliance with FDA standards ensures that coffee destined for the United States meets strict food safety and traceability benchmarks, while alignment with GACC requirements enables smooth access to the Chinese market. Together, these certifications reduce regulatory risk, support efficient clearance, and reinforce trust with buyers who prioritise ethically sourced, sustainably produced coffee.
