The Guji producing area in southern Ethiopia is adjacent to the Sidamo and Gedeo areas, with towering mountains, highlands, plateaus, valleys and plains. The geology of the area is a fertile and well-drained volcanic soil with a depth of nearly two meters and a dark brown or brown surface soil. The biggest advantage of the place is that the soil fertility is maintained through the circulation of natural organic matter, using the withered leaves or litter of the surrounding trees and the residual roots of plants as natural fertilizer.

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 Taiwan, especially Chinese people are particularly interested in and love the three more famous producing areas of Ethiopia, namely Harrar, Sidamo and Yirgacheffe.

The Sidamo producing area (Sidamo) is located in southern Ethiopia. The industry here 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 mines in this area, which were used to mine gold in the early days, so there are many potholes in this coffee growing area, which makes it dangerous for people to walk 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.

Mormora Farm (Devil Farm) in Guji Plateau was founded in 2012 by nearby families and local small farmers. They carry out organic agriculture in the Guji Plateau. They increase their planting area every year. All the varieties come from nearby traditional local varieties, they are also known as "mother trees". At present, Guji Highland only produces sun-cured coffee, and plans to build a water washing plant in the future.
