About Smallholder producers of Ethiopia
As is almost always the case in Ethiopia, coffee is produced by the efforts of smallholder farmers. This special lot comes from the area surrounding the Chire washing station, where many grow their coffee alongside mango and banana trees.
Ethiopian coffee farmers have been hit hard this past year by inter-tribal conflicts leading to burnt and destroyed washing stations and warehouses in many areas of Oromia as well as the worst frost in almost 70 years. Because of this, crops and therefore livlihoods, may be affected for years to come. Thankfully, the government is helping to rebuild some of the affected stations, and new legislation allowing growers to sell directly to washing stations is helping them obtain better prices for their coffees. In addition, the new president of the country is rallying all Ethiopians.Hope is rising for a brighter and more peaceful future.
