The Brazil Specialty Coffee Association (BSCA) was founded in 1991 through the initiative of 12 entrepreneurs who looked beyond their time, envisioning the commercial opportunities that investing in quality would bring. It is a non-profit association that brings together people and companies in the internal and external specialty coffee markets, seeking to disseminate and stimulate technological improvement in the production, commercialization and industrialization of these products, in addition to promoting, mainly in the coffee areas, environmental preservation and the environmentally sustainable development through programs, projects and partnerships with public or private, domestic or foreign, entities.
