Honduras

We established Olam Honduras in December 2006 and today we are proud to be the third-largest coffee exporter, helping to bring great coffee to connoisseurs all round the world.

We have 2 key locations - a processing factory in Villanueva, San Pedro Sula and another site in Comayagua. We are well connected in every principal coffee-growing area in the country.

Through our sustainability programmes we are supporting farmers to become more resilient to issues such as pest, disease and climate change, as well as improving overall yields and quality.

Global Coffee Platform recognises two tiers of Olam’s AtSource programme as sustainability schemes

London In a move by the Global Coffee Platform (GCP) to advance transparency and sustainability in the coffee value chain, two tiers of Olam International’s sustainability insights platform AtSource – AtSource Entry Verified1 and AtSource Plus - have been added as new sustainable sourcing schemes to the GCP Reporting on Sustainable Coffee Purchases programme2.
