Everything you need to know about partnering with Kafiza and accessing the New Zealand specialty coffee market

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from Brazilian coffee farmers about working with Kafiza

Direct trade eliminates traditional middlemen by connecting you directly with New Zealand roasters. You negotiate prices and terms directly with roasters who value your coffee's unique characteristics and heritage. Kafiza facilitates these connections and provides translation and logistics support, but you maintain control over your business relationships.
To join Kafiza, you need to produce specialty or premium grade coffee with consistent quality. We look for farmers who practice sustainable farming methods and can provide traceability for their coffee. No expensive certifications are required, but we do expect transparency about your growing practices and coffee characteristics.
The typical timeline from registration to your first order is 2-4 months. This includes creating your farm profile, introducing you to interested roasters, sample exchanges, and finalizing partnership agreements. We work efficiently to get you connected as quickly as possible while ensuring quality matches.
We provide complete Portuguese language support throughout the entire process. Our founder Rick Antonio is a native Portuguese speaker who handles all communication with New Zealand roasters on your behalf. We translate contracts, facilitate negotiations, and ensure you understand all terms and conditions clearly.
