Coffee Planet – United Arab Emirates

Headquartered in Dubai, United Arabic Emirates, Coffee Planet LLC was established in 2005 as a provider of freshly ground coffee/fresh milk vending machines for highway convenience stores. In 2008, Coffee Planet opened, in Dubai, a new UTZ, BRC, HACCP and ISO 22000 certified roaster of over 4,320 tonnes roasting capacity per annum. This enabled the company to become the largest specialty coffee roaster in the Middle East, with over 200 employees.

Coffee Planet is focused on end-to-end coffee solutions for diverse local and international customers. Currently, Coffee Planet provides a wide range of B2B and B2C coffee solutions. Coffee Planet serves 800+ local and international customers and operates over 5,000 coffee machines across the UAE.

In 2022, CFC signed a USD 2 million trade finance loan agreement with Coffee Planet to finance the sourcing, roasting and export of conventional and certified coffee for 2 strategic partners. The loan will allow Coffee Planet to increase its indirect sourcing of coffee beans from 2,000 additional producers by 2027.
