Introduction:

There are mainly eight major producing areas in Ethiopia: Ekempti, Limu, Illubabor, Djimma, Harrar, Teppi/Bebeka, Sidamo and Yirgacheffe.

Yirgacheffe is located in the Gedeo region of southern Ethiopia. The jurisdiction of this area is well known as Yegashefi and Kochere. As the coffee produced by Yirgacheffe has a unique flavor and is widely loved, it has its own style in product classification and has always occupied a place in the global boutique coffee market.

Yirgacheffe, located in Sidama province, is itself a small town, with three small producing areas Wenago, Kochere and Gelena Abaya nearby. Because the flavor of coffee produced is almost the same as that of Yega Sheffield, Kochere is also classified as Yega Sheffield. Ethiopia implemented a new trading and grading system in November 2009, with the establishment of the Commodity Exchange (ECX), through which coffee and other agricultural products are auctioned publicly. In addition to Yegashifi, three new by-product areas, Wenago, Kochere and Genlena Abaya, have been added, which shows that the flavor of these three areas is so detailed that it can be subdivided. Since the implementation of the ECX system in 2008, most raw coffee beans have been sold by auction, but cooperatives are not under this jurisdiction, and they can directly contact buyers, negotiate prices and export.

The Adado Cooperative is one of the 26 alliances of The Yirgacheffe Coffee FarmersCooperatives Union (YCFCU). YCFCU, which now represents more than 50, 000 coffee farmers and representatives of more than 300000 families, was founded in June 2002. all 26 alliances are located in the Gedeo region of southern Ethiopia and is an important coffee producing area in Ethiopia.

Ethiopia in Africa is known as the Garden of Coffee Eden because it is the hometown of native coffee and a treasure trove of genes of coffee breeders. It has five boutique bean producing areas: Sidamo, Yirgacheffe, Harar, Limu and Gimbi. Among them, Yega Xuefei is located in the highest coffee producing area in Ethiopia, leaning on mountains and water. The coffee beans produced have their own unique flavor, which is called "Yejashafi flavor" by enthusiasts, which means strong aroma of jasmine, sweet tangerine, pleasant citric acid and sweet almonds.

The Adado cooperative comes from the Gedeo Zone producing area of Yegashefi. It is one of the founding cooperatives of the Yegashefi Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union (YCFCU) and an important base of the Fair Trade Association in Ethiopia. Adado is located in the high-altitude lush mountains of 2000 to 2400 meters, where 1250 farmers work together on coffee, planting native coffee and mountain banana (enset) in traditional farming. The mountain banana brings shade to the coffee trees, enriches all the soil, and adds to the unique flavor of the coffee. This batch of washed Yega Chuefei Adado (Adado) treatment plant G1 is the highest grade assessed by ECX as G1.
