Empowering Agriculture, Nurturing Coffee Excellence

At COGRAD, agriculture is at the heart of everything we do. As a cooperative, we pride ourselves on our expertise, reliability, and commitment to advancing the Malaysian coffee industry. Specialising in coffee production, we combine modern agricultural techniques with a deep understanding of traditional coffee cultivation, offering unparalleled solutions to both small-scale farmers and large plantations alike.

Our journey has led us to become one of Malaysia’s key agricultural players, particularly in coffee. Through strategic partnerships, such as our MoU with Nestlé Malaysia, we continue to deliver high-quality coffee trees and related services to the country’s coffee farmers. COGRAD’s goal is to provide everything from seeds to buyback programs, and soon, even a post-harvest facility for coffee processing.

Coffee Cultivation: Expertise You Can Trust

From Seeds to Mature Trees, We’ve Got You Covered

COGRAD specializes in the cultivation and sale of Robusta Coffee Trees, grown under stringent quality control measures. Our collaboration with Nestlé Malaysia has enabled us to become a trusted distributor of these trees across Malaysia. Nestlé’s R&D team carefully selects and inspects seeds, ensuring they meet the highest standards before passing them on to us.

Once we receive these premium seeds, our team of skilled agriculturists nurtures them in our multiple nurseries around Perak. Our main nursery, located in Kuala Kangsar, spans several acres and is a hub for growing and grafting coffee trees using cutting-edge techniques.

We also specialize in:

• Tree Grafting

We employ advanced tree grafting techniques using 8 specific clones of coffee trees, including varieties with pedigree from the Ivory Coast. This results in trees that are resilient, high-yielding, and tailored to Malaysia’s growing conditions.

• Fertilizer Solutions

In addition to growing coffee trees, COGRAD has developed its own line of fertilizers, ensuring that the trees receive optimal nutrition for growth and fruit production.

Multiple Nurseries, Nationwide Reach

Scaling Agriculture Across Perak

With several nurseries located throughout Perak, COGRAD’s capacity to produce coffee trees is unmatched. Our main nursery in Kuala Kangsar is just the beginning. We manage multiple sites to ensure efficient production and distribution, and our facilities are well-equipped to handle high volumes of coffee tree orders.

• Capacity

Our nurseries have the capability to hold and nurture over 35,000 coffee trees at any given time, making us one of the largest coffee tree nurseries in Malaysia.

• Expansion Plans

We are actively expanding our nursery operations to accommodate growing demand, ensuring that we remain the preferred choice for farmers across the country.

Coffee Buyback Plan

Supporting Farmers with Sustainable Solutions

COGRAD goes beyond just selling coffee trees. We support coffee farmers throughout their journey by offering a Buyback Plan for their harvested coffee cherries or green beans. This initiative is designed to:

Ensure farmers have a reliable market for their produce.
Provide fair pricing and terms that benefit the entire farming community.
Help farmers scale their operations with the confidence that their crops will be sold.

This buyback plan offers peace of mind for farmers, allowing them to focus on producing high-quality coffee while COGRAD helps with marketing and sales.

Future Plans: Coffee Post-Harvest Processing

Investing in Malaysia’s Coffee Future

As part of our commitment to strengthening the Malaysian coffee industry, COGRAD is planning to establish its own Coffee Post-Harvest Facility. This factory will:

  • Process coffee cherries into green beans, roasted coffee, and other coffee products.
  • Create new business opportunities for coffee farmers and COGRAD members alike.
  • Play a pivotal role in boosting Perak’s economy and contributing to Malaysia’s vision of becoming a leading player in the global coffee market.

This facility aligns with our long-term strategy to create an integrated supply chain, from tree nurseries to final product, helping us take Malaysian coffee to the next level.
