Coffee: A $40bn Export Market
Coffee is a $35B export industry, yet up to 80% of producers cannot access the financing they need to move shipments on time. This gap delays exports, strains supply chains, and creates a steady need for short-term working capital to bridge the period between production and buyer payment.
For investors, it opens a continuous flow of real, verifiable trade finance opportunities grounded in confirmed demand and physical goods already moving through global supply chains.
Why This Asset Class Is Attractive:
Exclusive Access
Our data driven approach, embedded control points in the supply chain and local teams, give us access to over $2BN of exports via the platform.
Diversified by Structure
Tap into hundreds of small, short-tenor deals averaging $200K, representing repeat trades between the same buyers and sellers across 12 origins on 2 continents with 1–3 month tenors.
Customizable by Design
For larger commitments, Our SPV investment structures allow lenders to define geographic exposure, exclude specific counterparties and set concentration limits aligned with their internal risk frameworks.
How Capital Deployment Works
Protected Margins
Investors allocate capital to an SPV (created by Almacena or provided by the investor). Funds can be called back with 3-month notice.
Origination & Verification
Exporters, buyers, and service providers undergo KYC, due diligence, and operational checks. Buyers are approved in advance.
Funding The Transaction
The SPV advances 70-90% of invoice value. Capital is deployed across numerous short-term transactions, with average deal sizes around $200K.
Deal Execution
Almacena coordinates documentation, logistics, Inspections, and insurance. All activity is logged digitally with real-time visibility.
Buyer Payment
Invoice is paid by the buyer into a controlled collection account. Loan is repaid automatically. Investor receives principal + return.
Controlled Deal Execution
- 70-90% invoice financing
- Diversified short-term transactions
- Platform-controlled execution
- Vetted service providers
- Optional dedicated SPV structures
Risk Management & Mitigation
Buyer Non- Payment
Mitigation: All buyers are pre-approved, and additional credit insurance is available to cover non-payment risk.
Country & Political Risk
Mitigation: Exposure is limited because funding only occurs when goods are at the export port or already in transit.
Cargo Loss Or Damage
Mitigation: Marine cargo insurance protects the shipment against loss, damage, or deterioration.
Document Fraud
Mitigation: Almacena collects and controls all documentation; buyers validate documents before funding is released.
Execution Risk
Mitigation: All service providers are vetted and verified by Almacena, with execution monitored through structured workflows.
0% Default Rate
- Digital tools provide full visibility at every stage of the deal.
- Local teams and vetted providers ensure physical control of the supply chain.
- Embedded risk mitigants such as cargo insurance, credit insurance, and document verification.
- Real-time answers to key questions: Is the product real? Can the exporter perform? Is the buyer acceptable?
