Madar Al-Tahawul Officially Joins the General Membership of the Saudi–Ethiopian Business Council
Madar Al-Tahawul announces its official accession to the General Membership of the Saudi–Ethiopian Business Council under the umbrella of the Federation of Saudi Chambers. This strategic step strengthens the company’s institutional presence in one of the most dynamic and growing economic corridors between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia. It also marks a significant milestone in the company’s journey toward establishing an influential international footprint within coffee-producing and agricultural markets.
This achievement builds upon a journey of success that, after the grace of God, has been driven by the ambitious economic transformation taking place in our nation under the wise leadership of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, may God preserve them. Their clear vision and supportive business environment have enabled the private sector to grow, expand, and engage in international partnerships aligned with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030.
Joining the council strengthens Madar Al-Tahawul’s efforts to develop an integrated ecosystem that connects farms and exporters in producing countries with Saudi companies, roasteries, and local markets. Through advanced digital and operational solutions, this ecosystem enhances purchasing efficiency, improves supply-chain quality, and increases transparency across all stages of sourcing.
Madar Al-Tahawul’s presence within the council enables broader participation in economic discussions and a deeper understanding of governmental and sectoral directions in both countries. This contributes to building direct partnerships with official entities and companies involved in exporting coffee and agricultural products, at a time when the global coffee sector is experiencing rapid growth and increasing interest from Saudi and regional markets.

Madar Al-Tahawul Receives an Official Invitation from Brazil’s CNA to Participate in the “Business Round” at World of Coffee Dubai 2026
Riyadh – Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Madar Al-Tahawul announced that it has received an official invitation from the Brazilian Confederation of Agriculture and Livestock (CNA) to participate in the “Business Round” trade meetings as part of World of Coffee Dubai 2026, taking place in Dubai from 18 to 20 January 2026.
This invitation is part of a business matchmaking program bringing together a select group of Brazilian producers, opening a direct channel for international sourcing discussions and reflecting Madar Al-Tahawul’s accelerated efforts to expand its global network of green coffee origins. Madar Al-Tahawul was represented in this participation by Board Member Mohammed Al Zahrani through an organized schedule of meetings, aligned with the organization’s direction to develop more efficient and reliable sourcing arrangements for the Saudi and regional markets.
Bandar Al Otaibi, Board Member, stated that this participation represents a step within a fast-moving international track led by Madar Al-Tahawul, based on a model centered on direct purchasing and import program management, with operational execution inside the Kingdom carried out through its arm, Cofdar.
Madar Al-Tahawul strengthens its specialty sourcing pathway through direct collaboration with Campo Hermoso Farm in Colombia.
In a new step within Madar Al-Tahawul’s direction to build more specialized and transparent sourcing channels in the coffee sector, collaboration has begun with Campo Hermoso Farm in Quindío, Colombia, to make a selected batch of Colombian microlot coffees available through Cofdar Direct.
This collaboration is marked by work on the farm’s second batch of the year, featuring a limited selection of green coffee lots with special processing methods based on mossto and co-fermentation. These coffees are designed for roasteries seeking seasonal products with a clear origin, a real story, and a distinctive sensory identity.
This batch stands out for the diversity of its fruity profiles, high scores, and limited availability, making it well suited for roasteries seeking to offer their customers a distinctive seasonal release without the complexities of individual importing or the need to commit to large quantities of a single lot.
Through Cofdar Direct, Madar Al-Tahawul is working to make specialty farm sourcing more accessible and flexible for roasteries. The process starts with suitable order quantities and supports roasteries in accessing distinctive coffee origins, while Cofdar handles coordination, shipping, customs clearance, and the connection between the source and buyers within Saudi Arabia.
This collaboration represents an extension of Madar Al-Tahawul’s vision to develop practical solutions for coffee trading, connecting the Saudi market with distinctive farms and producers around the world, while giving roasteries greater ability to build seasonal products with higher commercial and sensory value.
Through this collaboration, Madar Al-Tahawul continues, through Cofdar Direct, to build a specialized sourcing model that connects roasteries with distinctive production origins, transforming green coffee purchasing from a complex process into a clearer, more flexible seasonal opportunity with higher commercial value.
Madar Altahawul Launches an Innovative Interactive Coffee Flavor Tool Through Cofdar
In a new step that reflects its direction toward building specialized digital projects with practical value, Madar Altahawul announced the launch of the Cofdar Interactive Coffee Flavor Map, an innovative tool developed by Cofdar to provide an Arabic experience that helps roasters, baristas, and coffee enthusiasts understand flavors, explore their families, and build a more accurate and professional description of a coffee flavor profile.
This tool comes as part of Madar Altahawul’s path in developing knowledge-based solutions and tools that serve business sectors, including the coffee sector. Through Cofdar, Madar Altahawul is working to move beyond the concept of a traditional commercial platform and toward building an ecosystem that brings together knowledge, tools, and supply chains.
The Cofdar Interactive Coffee Flavor Map offers a rich experience that combines exploration, learning, training, and description building. It features a broad classification of flavor families, interactive filters, and a description builder that helps roasters create clearer and more professional descriptions for their products, web pages, and packaging.
Through this launch, Madar Altahawul affirms that real development does not stop at launching platforms; it extends to building practical tools that raise market quality and provide professionals with better ways to understand, communicate, and make informed decisions.
This step is an extension of the daily momentum Cofdar is witnessing in developing its services and digital experience, while strengthening its presence as a specialized platform that serves the coffee business sector in a practical and continuously evolving manner.
