Alfacomer is led by Fernando Alfaro (fourth generation) and Belén Alfaro (the new generation). From our estates on the San Salvador Volcano to allied farms we represent, every lot is personally cupped, documented, and prepared for export. Our promise is simple: stable profiles, clear paperwork, and on‑time shipments — so you can focus on roasting and serving.

Built to Arrive Fresh
We use hermetic liners inside traditional jute to protect against oxygen, humidity, and pests during long transit. Combined with controlled drying and storage, this helps preserve cup clarity and sweetness on arrival. Ask about GrainPro‑equivalent liners and container desiccants for your route.
Options: GrainPro‑type liners · Double‑bagging · Container desiccants · Linered boxes for small volumes.

What our customers say about us
How can I begin to describe my time with Poveda... It was simply life-changing! I always imagined that Bali would be a breathtaking destination, but thanks to Poveda, I was able to not just experience the culture, but have once-in-a-lifetime memories. I got so much more than I ever anticipated from my holiday.
