A journey built on long-term partnerships, quality and the belief that global trade creates opportunities.

Our story begins in Brazil, where our founder, then a young law student, was drawn to coffee trading by his mother’s cousin, a former president of the Brazilian Coffee Institute (IBC).

In search of new opportunities, he moved to Miami in the mid-1980s and founded The Haas Group, gaining direct access to world markets and laying the foundation for our international commodities business.

As the Soviet Union dissolved, an exploratory trip to Moscow opened a new market. In partnership with Irmãos Ribeiro, one of Brazil’s largest coffee processors and exporters, soluble coffee exports followed, and by the mid-1990s we held a commanding share as one of the leading coffee suppliers to Russia and the CIS.

Jørgensen Foods was founded as a spin-off to expand into soft commodities such as sugar, later adding a protein division supplying South American beef and poultry.

The founding of Haas Commodities SARL in Monaco expanded our presence in Europe and allowed us to serve importers across Eastern Europe, Russia and Central Asia.

Building on four decades of experience and a reputation built on long-term partnerships, TERRECORE HCS is today an independent, diversified merchant and processor, sourcing, trading and delivering agricultural goods and natural resources worldwide.

Rooted in a family business established in Miami in the mid-1980s by a founder inspired by the former President of the Brazilian Coffee Institute, the firm rapidly expanded into a leading merchant of instant coffee across Russia and CIS countries during the early 1990s, partnering with green coffee giant Irmãos Ribeiro to spearhead the market.

TERRECORE HCS / OUR RESPONSIBILITY
Responsible from origin to destination.
We work with producers who meet our standards on land use, labour and environmental management. We do not knowingly source from deforested land or protected areas, and we are building traceability across our supply chains. Certified products, including Bonsucro sugar and Rainforest Alliance or Fairtrade coffee, are available on request.
We encourage efficient use of water, energy and soil, and give preference to mills investing in cleaner production. Our seaweed sugar, cultivated without farmland, fresh water or fertiliser, offers a natural sweetener with a lighter footprint.
We respect internationally recognised human rights and do not tolerate forced or child labour. Through fair terms, pre-harvest financing and long-term offtake agreements, we help producers build more stable livelihoods.
We comply fully with international trade, sanctions, anti-bribery and anti-money-laundering standards, and apply rigorous due diligence to every counterparty.
As our business grows, we will set measurable objectives, work with recognised certification bodies and report transparently on our progress.
