Our Concept
Zafra Commodities is a Brazilian agri-trading company rooted in a legacy that began in 1982, when Edgar Rauscher started his career in the Brazilian coffee business, supplying leading domestic industries and building long-term relationships across the production chain.
Built upon over four decades of hands-on market experience, Zafra represents the next generation of this tradition combining deep commercial knowledge with a modern, structured and transparent approach to international trade. Acting as a strategic bridge between origin and destination, Zafra connects Brazilian farmers to international buyers, ensuring trust, quality and consistency across global markets.
