4 Pillars of Mekong Origin Quality Control

How we protect your commercial reputation and guarantee every container meets strict contract specifications.

1. Moisture & Defect Thresholds

Green coffee is strictly capped at maximum 12.5% moisture with calibrated moisture meters. Defect counts, black beans, broken beans, and foreign matter are graded under ISO 4149 standards.

2. Independent 3rd-Party Pre-Shipment Inspection

Every export consignment can be independently sampled and tested by accredited international survey bodies (SGS, Cafecontrol, or Intertek) prior to container sealing.

3. Full Traceability & EUDR Preparation

We work with certified cooperatives to provide farm-level polygon geolocation data, ensuring full alignment with EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and traceability standards.

4. High-Barrier Export Packaging

Standard 60kg clean jute bags, GrainPro / Hermetic oxygen-barrier inner liners to preserve cup freshness during 30-to-60 day ocean voyages across tropical and winter routes.
