TLDR

  • Origin2U, a Belgian-Venezuelan company, will represent Venezuela at the World of Coffee Brussels event.
  • The company is also executing its largest export to date, sending over 38 tons of Venezuelan specialty green coffee to Europe in April 2026.
  • Origin2U focuses on direct export, supporting producers with technical assistance, traceability, and fair trade practices across Lara, Aragua, Miranda, and Mérida states.

Venezuela's specialty coffee sector is gaining international recognition, with Origin2U set to proudly represent the nation at the prestigious World of Coffee Brussels. This event is a crucial platform for showcasing the quality and unique characteristics of Venezuelan coffee to a global audience. Our participation underscores the resurgence and potential of our coffee industry on the world stage.

This international spotlight coincides with Origin2U's most significant export operation yet: over 38 tons of premium Venezuelan green coffee destined for European markets. This substantial shipment in April 2026 is a testament to the hard work of our producers and the success of Origin2U's business model, which prioritizes direct relationships and robust support for coffee farmers.

Origin2U's commitment extends beyond mere commercial transactions. The company actively invests in Venezuelan coffee regions, including Lara, Aragua, Miranda, and Mérida, providing essential technical assistance, improving post-harvest processes, and ensuring traceability from bean to cup. This holistic approach strengthens the entire coffee value chain, empowering local farmers and enhancing the global reputation of Venezuelan coffee. As co-founder Margaux Liagre emphasizes, each cup of Venezuelan coffee served abroad tells the story of a Venezuelan family, highlighting the profound human connection embedded in our exports.

Each cup of Venezuelan coffee that is served in a café in Belgium, France or Italy is the story of a Venezuelan family.
