Organic farm in Akmanuri Akmel Nuri, Ethiopia

Akmel Nuri, an Ethiopian coffee farmer, finally got his wish after saving for years and bought the farm in 2002. The farm is located in the Limu Kosa community of Jimma, Ethiopia. The primeval forest surrounds the farm and the environment is unique. Not only that, Akma uses organic farming (organic) to cultivate coffee trees in an effort to maintain ecological balance.

Usually in Ethiopia, we don't know the names of coffee farmers, and the farms of individual coffee farmers are too small to be processed in separate batches. Even Akma doesn't produce much, only 300 bags, but under The Coffee Collective's direct trade model, we finally know where and how the coffee comes from.

At first, The Coffee Collective was not interested in Akma's coffee because he used organic farming or obtained organic certification. It was simply that Akma's coffee was delicious. Generally speaking, the third wave of coffee roasters do not pay special attention to the so-called "fair trade" or "organic farming law". The price they pay is much higher than the fair trade price. for example, the price paid by The Coffee Collective to Akma is higher than 173% of the market price. Organic certification is quite luxurious in African countries, which is ideal but often not feasible in practice.

But on Akma's farm, even at 2000 meters above sea level, his coffee trees can grow to 2 or 3 meters high, which is amazing when it is only six to eight years old. The environment on the farm is almost like a primeval forest. Up to 2025 meters, the shade trees are still very dense, mixed with coffee trees. Akma's organic practice is to let the coffee grow as naturally as possible. Many old native coffee trees play the role of shade trees because they are very tall. From the outside, Akma's farm is more like a primeval forest than a coffee garden.

One of the advantages of tall shade trees is that they can't easily penetrate the hot morning sun to avoid sunburn of coffee fruits, and another advantage is that they leave enough room for air circulation in lower coffee trees to avoid the problem of dampness. this often happens when the shade tree is not high.

Akma uses a variety of ways to pursue his organic practice, organic composting, soil nutrient analysis, to grow coffee with a richer flavor, his hope: "to grow coffee in a way that conforms to nature, not against it."
