Introduction:

Since the implementation of the ECX system in 2008, most raw coffee beans have been sold by bidding under this system, but cooperatives are not under this jurisdiction, and they can directly contact buyers, negotiate prices and export. Founded in the 1970s, Idido Cooperative is one of the 26 alliances of the Yegashafi Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union (The Yirgacheffe Coffee Farmers Cooperatives Union). YCFCU now represents more than 50, 000 coffee farmers belonging to more than 300000 household representatives. Founded in June 2002, all 26 alliances are located in the Gedeo region of southern Ethiopia and is a very important coffee producing area in Ethiopia.

The Idido Cooperative is one of more than a thousand YCFCU members, while most small farmers use less than two hectares of farmland to grow coffee. The cooperative is located in the high-altitude valley in the town of Yegashev, with annual rainfall of about 1400-1800 mm. Local farmers grow coffee about 2, 000 meters above sea level, and thanks to the cool mountain air that allows coffee to slowly ripen in good soil conditions and ecosystems, small farmers then harvest ripe red fruits from December to February each year. Like other cooperatives, Ediot has the quality conditions to produce one or two good coffees: 1. High altitude 2. Excellent processing technology 3. High nutrient soil 4. Native species of Ethiopia.

The Ediot Cooperative (Idido Cooperative) is made up of 1000 family members of small coffee farmers and is located in the Yirgacheffe producing area. It was founded in 1979 and joined the YCFCU Cooperative Union in 2002. The average cultivation area of these small coffee farmers is less than 2 hectares, and the altitude is about 1800-2200m. The coffee varieties are mainly a mixture of Typica and Heirloom (local native species). Every one or two years, members of the cooperative will vote in an election to elect an executive committee, and the executive committee can decide on the purchase of new equipment, exchange business information with members, and how to pay for transactions. In addition, YCFCU will also assign professional managers to cooperatives to provide guidance and advice on harvest, production and other procedures, so as to increase production and improve quality. The establishment of the cooperative allows its farmers to avoid low-cost exploitation by purchasers, and when the economy is in trouble, the cooperative can also provide loan assistance, which is very positive for both farmers and coffee production.
