Altromercato at FOODEX JAPAN 2026 

Operating as a social enterprise since 1998, Altromercato collaborates with more than 90 producer organizations across 35 countries. The company 

sources finished products and key fair trade ingredients—including coffee, 

cocoa, sugar, and tea—through transparent and responsible supply chains 

built on long-term direct partnerships. This model ensures full traceability, 

stable supply, and measurable social and environmental impact in local 

communities.

At FOODEX JAPAN 2026, Altromercato will showcase the following key 

product categories for the Japanese market:

Fair Trade Coffee (Bio Caffè 100% Arabica)

A premium organic blend of Ethiopian Arabica and selected Latin American 

origins. Slow, gentle roasting enhances its smooth acidity and well-balanced 

body, finishing with delicate citrus notes. Produced through a high social-

impact, low environmental-impact supply chain built on long-term trust and 

fair pricing for producers.

Italian Organic Pasta

Produced through a controlled and transparent Italian organic supply chain, 

guided by a “field to plate” philosophy. Slow drying at low temperatures 

preserves nutritional value, flavor, and texture, ensuring consistent quality 

and reliable supply for international partners.
