The East African Rift Valley runs through the whole territory, with an average elevation of nearly 3000 meters, while the average elevation of Ethiopia is 2450 meters.

Ethiopia COE results in 2021
Tamiru Tadesse, who runs a coffee supplier and has been in the coffee-related business for the past decade, works with about 200 local farmers in Banza who own about 80 hectares of land to grow coffee and produce about 182000 kilograms of coffee cherries a year, while he is responsible for processing and exporting.
Tamiru Tadesse
A long time ago, there were farmers growing coffee in the village of Alo. Coffee trees were planted in areas above 2400 meters above sea level. After several years of cultivation, these coffee trees produced very small coffee cherries, but because local coffee traders did not like small coffee beans, they did not find a suitable buyer.
In 2020, Tamiru Tadesse came to Alo village, tasted these small coffee beans, felt that these small coffee beans had great potential in flavor and quality, and thought that they were seriously undervalued by the market.
A processing station was set up in Alo village to collect and process coffee beans grown by coffee farmers in Alo village, and to provide them with professional training in planting knowledge. At present, coffee beans produced in nearby villages of Elto and Gute will be taken care of. In addition to native seeds or Heirloom, digital varieties opened by Jimma Agricultural Research Center (JARC), such as 74158 and 74165, will be planted in this area.
