Rosneft plans to supply grain coffee for its filling stations from Venezuela
During the XXVI St. Petersburg International Economic Forum Rosneft signed cooperation agreements with Venezuelan companies regarding the supply of grain coffee and cocoa, and also chocolate and other products for its chain of retail sites.
Since 2020, Rosneft has been developing a network of retail sites in a new format with cafe under own brand "Зерно" where special attention is paid to the quality and the taste of freshly brewed coffee. Along with the wide range of drinks and snacks, more than 1.5 thousand goods are also presented on the shop floor of the retail sites for the clients' convenience.
Coffee beans from Venezuela are considered among the best in the world in terms of quality and taste. This is related not only to the preserved national traditions of coffee farming, but also to the unique natural settings – combination of the climate features and rich soil of high mountain areas creates an ideal environment for coffee beans harvesting.
Venezuelan coffee, due to the limited export scopes, is not common in the Russian market which, along with its unique flavor profile, makes this crude product exclusive.
The agricultural sector of Venezuela is also famous for its rare and exotic sorts of cacao beans. Their specific flavor and taste properties make it possible to produce chocolate which differs from the one produced in other countries by exceptionally deep and saturated taste.
For reference:
The retail network of Rosneft is the largest in the Russian Federation in terms of geographical coverage and the number of stations, while the Rosneft's brand is one of the Russia's leaders in terms of awareness and fuel quality. In all, Rosneft manages about 3,000 filling stations in Russia, Belarus, Kirghizia and Abkhazia.
The development of tying products offer and services at the retail sites is one of the key priorities of Rosneft in retail business. The Company expands various types of services for quick and comfortable customer care, it implements up-to-date digital technologies.
Stores, cafes, pharmacies and dry clean vending machines operate at the retail sites. The Company also develops a new area of customer services at the retail sites: food-trucks (mobile sales outlets). Food-trucks are available in Moscow, St. Petersburg and in other regions of the retail network presence.
