The reason for the increase in coffee exports is that the quality of coffee has been valued by coffee growers, and the government has provided a lot of help to coffee farmers and exporters in promoting coffee exports. Through contacts with Japanese importers, the Ethiopian Embassy in Japan learned that the quality of coffee exported to Japan by Ethiopia had improved significantly in 2006. Ethiopian coffee is named Macca in Japan, and its unique fragrance is very popular.
