Shakisso, located in Guji, south of Oromia region, next to Sidama and Gedeo. There are many mines in this area, which were used for gold mining in the early days, so there are many potholes in this coffee-growing area. This makes it dangerous to walk between coffee-growing areas. Chachoso is a region of Gugi/Sidamori alone trees, and even Sidamori is a remote area away from most coffee producing areas, where another famous product is gold mining. Miners, land, ethnicity and other factors also contributed to regional unrest in 2006. Therefore, the biggest problem facing this area now is the need for manpower to maintain the growing area and harvest coffee. Local smallholders in the area started growing organic coffee in 2001 and work closely with medium-sized coffee producers who know how to grow forest coffee in the upland.
