NOR - Specialty Coffee and Technology

Café is for Coffee and NOR is for North. Coffee because that is our business and Nor because the partners are Norteño and Nórdicos – northeners. CAFÉ NOR is an economically viable and socially and environmentally sustainable coffee producing, processing and export company in Nicaragua. Café Nor is also Finca Jesper and Finca Yahoska – two farms situated in the northern Nicaraguan municipality of Jinotega. The two farms are used as trading hubs for coffee, agro-materials and other commodities for small and medium sized coffee growers with scarce access to larger markets. Café Nor focuses on giving technical assistance on improvement of production output, sustainable farming and certification in order to improve the socio-economic and environmental sustainability of the participating farmers and their communities. Café Nor is managed by Henry Sequeira and Frederik Zeuthen – Nicaraguan and Danish partners with a number of years of working together – first as Regional and General Managers in Xoco (Premium cocoa farming, micro-financing and exporting company) and now in Café Nor. CAFE NOR is also fortunate to enjoy the participation of private investor Sven Riskær, former Managing Director of The Danish state owned Investment Fund for Developing Countries – IFU and former Vice President of Africa for the International Finance Corporation – IFC. Sven worked with Frederik in CSR CAPITAL – a Danish privately owned sustainable investment fund for developing countries.
