Ethiopian Lekanti-Orami Cooperative Solar Bean

Ethiopia is the country where coffee was first discovered, and it is the most important producing country in terms of coffee quality and output, with an annual output of about 350000 tons. About 15 million people in the country are engaged in this industry, and more than 90% of them are small coffee farmers. a joint cooperative is a window for several to dozens of farmers to work together to facilitate sales.

After 2008, crops produced in Ethiopia, including wheat, corn, sesame and coffee, were fully imported into the ECX Trading system (Ethiopian Commodity Exchange) to replace the existing trading and export methods. For example, coffee farmers or cooperatives send coffee to a centralized warehouse in ECX. Beans of the same grade and the same production areas are mixed and auctioned directly. You don't know which farmers or cooperatives produce it. This practice actually has no effect on the quality, and it is easier to distinguish the quality of coffee by price. It is the intermediate traders who cannot freely track beans from small farms in the past, because crops that do not pass through ECX will be heavily taxed. Nowadays, more than 90% of them are through this trading system, but it is not a good thing for buyers who like a small amount of refined coffee. To this end, Ethiopia began to introduce the DST (Direct Specialty Trade) system, which allows small farmers to sell in name since 2010.

In Ethiopia, sun-dried beans are distinguished by adding 3 and 4 after the name (with a higher quality of 3). After the coffee cherry is harvested, the peel and pulp are dried in the bean drying farm immediately until the coffee is dried to 16% moisture. It is then dried in a dryer to achieve the same moisture content of 11.3%, and then repeated rubbing with parchment or sheepskin to remove the surface mucous membrane, polishing and drying this is the process of sun-dried beans.

Lekempti Leganti, 230km from the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa, farmers grow no more than 1.5ha. Coffee belongs to the sun method. Coffee is placed directly on compacted soil after harvest. When it is dry, coffee cherries absorb the smell of the land and contain rich sweetness. These primitive coffees are the source of farmers' income.
