As a third-generation coffee grower and producer, Mr Rafael Lorenzo Marín Zunigía, together with his wife Silvia Elena Espinoza, established a 100-hectare coffee estate. One of his 11 children, Mr Ángel Marín Espinoza, took the initiative to establish the Marespi mill in 2006 to improve the supply chain for coffee producers. In 2017/2018, Mr Ángel Marín had a vision for vertical integration and founded the coffee export company „Coffee Experts CRC“ SRL, which is managed by Ángel Marín’s son, Juan Carlos Marín Valenciano. Johnny Marin Badila, Juan Carlos’s cousin, is the production manager at the Marespi mill.
„Without forgetting our roots, Marespi plays an important role in creating jobs in Pérez Zeledón, in the south of the country.“ This has resulted in a wonderful team of staff, whose training is expanded throughout the year. By promoting its coffee production activities, the company generates a positive economic impact for a significant number of people, creating a sustainable environment for all. The farm’s production area covers 100 hectares, plus the farms of other coffee producers.
