Ethiopia has eight major production areas: Ekempti, Limu, Illubabor, Djimma, Harrar, Teppi/Bebeka, Sidamo and Yirgacheffe.

Yirgacheffe is located in the Gedeo region of southern Ethiopia, which is better known as Yirgacheffe and Kochere. Yirgacheffe coffee has a unique flavor, unique style and popularity, so it has a unique product classification and has always occupied a place in the global fine coffee market.

Yirgacheffe, located in Sidama province, is itself a small town, adjacent to three small producing areas Wenago, Kochere and Gelena Abaya, because the flavor of coffee produced is almost the same as that of Yirgacheffe, so Kochere is also drawn into the regional classification of Yirgacheffe. Ethiopia implemented a new trading and grading system in November 2009, establishing the Commodity Exchange (ECX), through which coffee and other agricultural products are publicly auctioned. In addition to Yejia Shefei, Wenago, Kochere and Genlena Abaya are newly added. It can be seen that the flavor of these three producing areas is extremely detailed and can be subdivided. Since the ECX system was introduced in 2008, most green coffee beans have been sold through bidding under this auction system, but cooperatives are not covered by this regulation, they can directly contact buyers, negotiate and export.

Adado Cooperatives is one of the 26 co-operatives of The Yirgacheffe Coffee Farmers Cooperatives Union (YCFCU), a modern table of more than 50,000 coffee farmers representing more than 300,000 families, founded in June 2002, all 26 co-operatives are located in the southern Gedeo region of Ethiopia, which is one of the most important coffee producing regions in Ethiopia.

There are 1250 farmers working together on coffee here. In the traditional farming method, original coffee and mountain banana (enset) are planted alternately, so that mountain banana brings shade to coffee trees.
