“Somos uma compania exportadora de café no interior do estado de São Paulo na cidade de Espirito Santo do Pinhal.Trabalhamos muito diretamente com o produtor e as estiagens do ano passado e a das ultimas duas semanas tem influenciado muito as cotaçoes mundias do produto. Com seu trabalho podemos ter as informaçoes precisas das regiões que recebem mais ou menos chuvas.”
