AGROMERCADOS PROFILE

Rommel Melgen, Organic Coffee Company. Marcala, HondurasThrough AGROMERCADOS business roundtable, we have made very specific agreements with international companies. We have even arranged for them to visit to Marcala to get to know our facilities, where they will taste our coffees. In the case of one of them who is a buyer from Canada, this season we are going to be buying a large quantity of coffee that we will select based on tastings and the COMSA profile.

Some testimonies that we would like to share: Marc Holbik, ECORIPE, a company from the USA.

"It is my third time in Agromercados. Every time I come I have gone, I have improved and I am very happy with the business contacts that I make at the fair. This time, as I arrive here I am talking with people who I have been already working with for several years, thanks to Agromercado fairs in the past. We buy many products with potential in Central America, like fresh fruits and vegetables. The Honduran products seem great to me."
