Information introduction of Hofsha Harfusa Cooperative processing Plant

Hofsha was originally the name of a village in the town of Ethiopia. The Hofsa Cooperative was established as early as 1975 and can be said to be the vanguard of the first wave of cooperative movement in Ethiopia. There are currently about 843 members. On average, small farmers have 70% of the average cultivated area, while producers have 450 kilograms of exported coffee beans.

The source of coffee berries in the Hofsa cooperative processing plant is mainly from the hillside of the village of Hofsa and to the west of the plant, from about 1850 meters to a maximum of 2100 meters above sea level, and some from the hillside of the village of Konga in the south, where the elevation is from 1870 meters to 2000 meters above sea level. The locations of the two regional coffee plantations are excellent in terms of elevation and slope, and this has become the basic condition for cooperatives to produce excellent raw coffee beans.

Hofsa Cooperatives joined the Yega Sheffield small Farmers Cooperative Union (YCFCU, Yirgacheffe Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union) in 2013 and obtained "organic" and "fair trade" certification. The Hofsa Cooperative, in cooperation with local small farmers in Yejassefi, adopts shade planting techniques and intersperses with crops such as bananas, planting with full manual and organic fertilizers, and controlling diseases and insect pests in a natural way, so as to ensure ecological protection. make the taste of coffee more pure.
