History of the farm
Fazenda Baú, for 30 years has been known on the Brazilian and international markets as a company that makes strategic changes to its name and brand, now it’s called Baú. Its origin and values (reliability, tradition, transparency, professionalism, respect, and modernity) are the base of this repositioning in the market, as the group is in continuous evolution. Behind this history of success is rural entrepreneur Tomio Fukuda, of Japanese ancestry, who opted to invest in one of Brazil’s best coffee regions, which is rich in natural resources. His perseverance is based on his cultural origin. In little more than two decades, Baú has become a great producer and exporter of specialty coffees. In a model of completely professionalized business, the entire family participates in Baú’s operations, with their efforts always seeking the production of quality coffees for export.
Coffee processing system: Natural, Sundry
Concern about quality
As a consequence of the increased productivity that was always of great concern to Tomio, the Quality Department was created to monitor the entire production through a traceability system in which guidance is duly given for all processes and sectors, seeking to improve not only the coffees but also the processing.
