Grupo Sobreira is a substantial employer
in our area, employing the harvest season as many as 1200
people. We employ over 120 full time employees throughout the year.
We are also a major purchaser of goods and services in our region,
from simple farm tools to petroleum and agricultural products.
indeed, as most of our coffee is exported abroad, we are a major
importer of capital to our region.
We have resisted utilizing speed, automated
equipment because we believe that it would be
contra-productive of our objective to produce the highest possible
quality coffee and would contribute to unemployment in our region.
Grupo Sobreira works with many associate
producers in Matas do Minas. We encourage these associate
farms to produce the best coffee with the least impact on the
ecology of our beautiful land, and we help to improve the standard
of living of our associate farmers by sharing our dividends with
them.
