In February 1977, Lieutenant Colonel Mengistu Haier Maryam (MENGISTU HAILE MARIAM) launched a military coup and served as Chairman and head of State of the interim military Administrative Council. In 1979, the Ethiopian Labor people's Party Organizing Committee, mainly composed of soldiers, was established to implement an one-party system. In 1984, the Ethiopian Workers' Party was formed according to the Soviet Communist Party model. In September 1987, Mengistu announced the dissolution of the "interim military Administrative Council", the end of military rule, the establishment of the "people's Democratic Republic of Ethiopia" and the establishment of a new parliament, with Mengistu as president and head of government.

In March 1988, the rebel "Eritrean people's Liberation Front" (EPLF) and the "Tigre people's Liberation Front" (TPLF) launched an attack on government forces, and a large-scale civil war broke out. In 1989, the Eritrean people's Liberation Front occupied most of Eritrea. On May 28, 1991, the EGF troops, mainly the Tigre people's Liberation Front, entered Addis Ababa and the Mengistu regime announced the disintegration of Ethiopia, located between 6-9 degrees north latitude and 34-40 degrees east longitude, in the center of the Horn of Africa, is a landlocked country. It is bordered by Djibouti and Somalia to the east, Sudan to the northwest, Eritrea to the north and Kenya to the south. [5]

Topography

There are mainly mountain plateaus in Ethiopia, and the central and western regions are the main part of the plateau, accounting for 2% of the total. The East African Rift Valley runs through the whole territory, with an average elevation of nearly 3000 meters, which is known as the "roof of Africa". The terrain around the plateau is gradually declining. The Darol depression in the north fell to 113 meters below sea level, the lowest point in the country. The coast of the Red Sea is a narrow banded plain. Deserts and semi-deserts in the north, south and north-east account for about 25% of the country's area. At 4623 meters above sea level, Dashan Peak in the Ximen Mountains is the highest peak in Ethiopia.

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 each year. The coffee grows in areas ranging from 1400 to 2200 meters above sea level on the shoulder slopes of the Rift Valley in East Africa. Natural (sun-cured) and washed coffee are of unique quality, moderate pH and good quality. It is estimated that out of 61000 hectares of cultivated area, the average annual production of this coffee is 37000 tons (equivalent to 620000 bags of 60 kg coffee).

Harald Coffee--

The coffee grows in areas ranging from 900m in the Darolebu plain to 2700 m in the highland mountain range of Chercher in eastern Ethiopia. These mountains do provide unique characteristics for these perennial coffee beans: the fruit is full and long, moderately acidic, with a typical mocha flavor. Harald Coffee is the world's leading premium coffee; although the variety is produced abroad, it gives people a friendly feel, smooth and smooth taste, giving people the rich taste of real mocha coffee. It is estimated that the average annual production of this coffee is 26000 tons (equivalent to 430000 bags of 60 kg coffee) out of a planting area of 52000 hectares.
