The growing environment of coffee in Ethiopia

Ethiopia has unique natural conditions suitable for growing all imaginable varieties of coffee. As a upland crop, Ethiopian coffee beans are mainly grown in areas between 1100 and 2300 meters above sea level, roughly distributed in southern Ethiopia. Deep soil, well-drained soil, weakly acidic soil, red soil and soft loam soil are suitable for growing coffee beans because these soils are nutritious and humic. Precipitation is evenly distributed during the seven-month rainy season; during the plant growth cycle, fruits blossom to fruit and crops grow by 90-2700 mm per year, while temperatures fluctuate between 15 and 24 degrees Celsius throughout the growth cycle.

Sustainable Coffee Culture

Ethiopian coffee beans grow in close to the natural environment, after years of planting under the same growth conditions, Ethiopian coffee beans have gradually adapted to the environment here. More than 60% of coffee beans are grown in forests or semi-forests.

Large-scale coffee-growing villages account for about 35% of the country's total coffee production. These coffee farms, which use a multi-tier coffee planting system, are carefully cared for. Coffee farmers do not use chemical fertilizers, but use fallen leaves and animal and plant debris to increase soil nutrition. In addition to coffee, farmers also frequently grow non-coffee crops. Even manor coffee (coffee produced by state-owned farms), which accounts for 5% of the country's total coffee production, shows the characteristics of forest coffee production.

Located in the most advantaged natural conditions, Ethiopia produces unique high-quality coffee every year. Ethiopia's coffee growing cycle brings the joy of harvest to the country every year. Beautiful white coffee flowers will bloom and bear fruit every year from March to April. Only the reddest and ripe fruits are selected as coffee ingredients between September and about December. The export of new coffee begins in November or December every year.
