Yegashev Coffee Farmers Union Cooperative Yirgacheffe Coffee Farmers Cooperatives Union (YCFCU)

The Yegashev Coffee Farmers Union Cooperative (YCFCU) represents 26 cooperatives located in the Gedeo region of Southern Ethiopia, located in the towns of Yegashev, Jettip, Vanago and Cochel, and plays an extremely important role in the development of small Ethiopian coffee farmers from poverty to self-sufficiency.

Small coffee farmers in Ethiopia generally have a planting area of no more than 1 hectare, and the harvest of raw coffee beans is so small that small farmers cannot support themselves and their families by growing coffee alone. at the same time, they also need to grow other cash crops to make ends meet. Before the establishment of YCFCU, the raw beans harvested by small farmers were still traded through ECX, and when the essence of ECX is to mix and grade all the products and sell them internationally at market prices, although small farmers can get better profits than before, they can not really get increased profits from the transaction because of excellent products. Over time, this situation is bound to lead to a decline in the quality of coffee beans. The mixed grading system also makes it impossible for foreign buyers to trace the resume and local information of Yegashev coffee raw beans, so organizations like YCFCU cooperatives, which aim to stabilize the fluctuation of coffee prices and improve the quality of Yegashev coffee and the profits of small farmers, are born.

The YCFCU cooperative is a coffee exporter recognized by the Ethiopian government. Small coffee farmers in Gedeo are free to join or not, and it is also a system maintained by grass-roots farmers. On the one hand, farmers are exempted from the unequal treatment of being peeled off by private treatment plants, on the other hand, it also provides a channel for international buyers to face village cooperatives directly.

In an economically backward area like this, it is very difficult for small farmers to have extra funds to buy chemical fertilizers, so they all grow coffee with natural and organic farming methods. Ethiopia has a large area of natural wild forest, 90% of coffee growing land can be found in the forest, the use of natural shading and intercropping methods contribute to the development of the flavor of Yegashev coffee. To achieve excellent farming results and sustainable management.

This is the case today, and the future is foreseeable. In addition, the Arabica genetic potential of the original species and wild species will also be a major advantage of Ethiopian coffee.

The small coffee farmers in the vicinity of the cooperative will deliver the red fruit of coffee to the cooperative after harvesting the red fruit on the farmland where they do not own much land, and then hand it over to the cooperative for treatment. The traditional YCFCU treatment process is carried out in the treatment plant, where the raw coffee beans are fermented in water for 48 hours and then washed and dried on the African scaffolding. This unique treatment gives Ethiopian native species a strong flavor: the delightful apricot sweetness and delicate acidity of this coffee.
