There are eight major coffee producing areas in Ethiopia: Ekempti, Limu, Illubabor, Djimma, Harrar, Teppi/Bebeka, Sidamo and Yirgacheffe. Ethiopian coffee is highly rated in China, especially the Chinese people are particularly interested in and love the three famous producing areas of Ethiopia, namely Harrar, Sidamo and Yirgacheffe. Sidama province is located in the south of Ethiopia, with Arsi province in the north, Bale province in the east and Gamu Gofa province in the west. The jurisdiction of Sidama province includes two well-known producing areas, Yirgacheffe and Kochere. The industry is dominated by agriculture, and the coffee growing area is located around the East African Great Rift Valley (Great Rift Valley). The largest town in Sidamo province is Hawassa, which is an important local coffee export distribution center. The coffee flavor of Sidamo is very diverse, because of the different soil composition, regional microclimate and countless native coffee varieties, the coffee produced in each urban area has obvious differences and characteristics. Shakisso is located in the southern part of Guji and Oromia, adjacent to Sidamo and Gedeo. There are many pits in this area, which were used to mine gold in the early days, so there are many potholes in this coffee growing area. This makes people dangerous when walking between coffee growing areas. Shakiso is a unique producing area of Guji / Sidamori, even in West Dharma, which is a remote area away from most coffee producing areas, and another famous local product is gold. Miners, land, ethnicity and other factors also destabilized the region in 2006. As a result, the biggest problem facing the region now is that ─ needs manpower to maintain the growing area and harvest coffee. Local small farmers began growing organic coffee in 2001 and work closely with medium-sized coffee producers because they are familiar with how to grow forest coffee in the highlands.

Trabocca, the largest coffee and bean seller in the Netherlands, entered the area five years ago to co-produce with local coffee farms. They donate coffee cup testing laboratories and try their best to improve the quality and output of coffee beans every year. Trabocca owns 640 hectares of coffee nursery. Today, there are 12 long-term employees who have more than 10 years of coffee planting, production, processing and marketing experience. In addition to these 12, we also employ three qualified consultants and several short-term employees. During the harvest season, more than 300 people came to help with the harvest, and 150 of them worked independently.
