Bioma Café’s is a partnership between Marcelo Nogueira Assis and Flavio Marcio Silva dating back to 2001. Flavio came from managing the family businesses, and Marcelo was a recent graduate in the technical school of agriculture. By 2010 the two were ready to found their first coffee farm – dedicated 100% to specialty production – in Campos Altos region, Minas Gerais.
Bioma’s motto is ‘coffee for a better future’, yet they are already leading the way in regards to quality and sustainability in the Cerrado context. Their approach has three pillars, the first of which emphasizes the importance of healthy soil as maintained through extensive cover plants and customized nutrition. The idea is to ‘elevate the terroir’ by treating each plot individually. As well, Bioma makes their own organic fertilizers on-site which, by 2025, make up to 60% of the inputs used on the farm. In addition to soil health, Bioma’s plan for the future includes investments in people (22 fulltime workers, plus 25 seasonal employees), and technology (post-harvest processing infrastructure, quality mapping, and digital systems for traceability).
