Ethiopia is the country where coffee was first discovered. It is still the most important producing country and the best in terms of coffee quality and output. Coffee is mostly traditional Arabica species, with an annual output of about 350000 tons and more than 70% of it is exported to countries around the world. About 15 million people in the country are engaged in coffee-related industries, and more than 90% of the farms or cooperatives are planted in small areas. The crops produced by Ethiopia in 2008 include wheat. Corn? sesame? Coffee is fully imported into the ECX trading system (Ethiopian Commodity Exchange) to replace the existing auction and export methods, such as coffee farmers or cooperatives, sending coffee to ECX centralized warehouses of the same level. Beans from the same producing areas will be mixed together and auctioned directly. You don't know which farmers or cooperatives it is? Produced in producing areas, this practice actually has no effect on output and quality, and it is easier to tell whether coffee is good or bad by price. What is triggered is that intermediate traders cannot freely track their satisfactory profits [low price and high quality] so that consumers are more clear and transparent, because they will be heavily taxed if they are not through the ECX trading system, and now more than 90% are through this trading system. However, the ECX trading system is not a good thing for buyers who love boutique coffee. For this reason, the DST (Direct Specialty Trade) system was launched in Ethiopia in 2010. The DST system is an irregularly held auction in Ethiopia. Only by passing the SCAA cup test standard of more than 80 points, the fine coffee specialty coffee can be traded with foreign raw bean merchants under the name of their own farm or cooperative.
