Brazil

Fazenda Rio Brilhante is located in the Pântano micro- region of Minas Gerais and spans approx. 1,600 hec- tares of coffee cultivation. The farm was founded by Inácio Urban and has garnered significant recognition.

With 100% compliance under the Rainforest Alliance Certification standards, Rio Brilhante is one of only three farms worldwide to achieve this. The farm surpasses Brazil‘s requirements by providing housing and meals for most workers and supporting local schools across western Minas Gerais. Its commitment to sustainability is reflected in practices like composting, creating wild- life corridors, and implementing advanced systems for forest and soil regeneration, turning an arid region into a model of ecological and agricultural excellence.
