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 28 May 1991, EGF troops, mainly the Tigre people's Liberation Front, entered Addis Ababa and the Mengistu regime disintegrated in December 1994 and formulated the Constitution of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia. According to the Constitution, Ethiopia will implement a federal system and a parliamentary cabinet system after the general election for a term of five years. After the national election in May 1995, the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia was established on August 22, and Meles became prime minister in her capacity as chairman of the majority party of the people's House of Representatives. On May 14, 2000, Ethiopia held a national election, and EGF defeated other opposition parties by an absolute majority to stay in power. In October, the new federal parliament and government were established, and the speakers of both houses and Prime Minister Meles were re-elected, and the original cabinet also remained in office with the approval of the parliament. In October 2001, May adjusted the government structure and reshuffled the cabinet, adding the Ministry of Youth, Sports and Culture and the Ministry of Taxation, and set up a new cabinet composed of 18 ministers.

Ethiopia has unique natural conditions suitable for growing all imaginable varieties of coffee. As a upland crop, Ethiopian coffee beans are mainly grown in areas between 1100 and 2300 meters above sea level, roughly distributed in southern Ethiopia. Deep soil, well-drained soil, weakly acidic soil, red soil and soft loam soil are suitable for growing coffee beans because these soils are nutritious and humic. Precipitation is evenly distributed during the seven-month rainy season; during the plant growth cycle, fruits blossom to fruit and crops grow by 90-2700 mm per year, while temperatures fluctuate between 15 and 24 degrees Celsius throughout the growth cycle.

A large amount of coffee production (95%) is done by small shareholders, with an average yield of 561 kg per hectare. For centuries, minority holders of Ethiopian coffee farms have been producing a variety of high-quality types of coffee. The secret to producing high-quality coffee is that coffee growers have developed a coffee culture in a suitable environment through generations of repeated learning about the coffee growing process, which mainly includes farming methods using natural fertilizers, picking the reddest and fully ripe fruits and processing the fruits in a clean environment. The differences in the quality, natural characteristics and types of Ethiopian coffee all stem from differences in "altitude", "region", "location" and even land types. Ethiopian coffee beans are unique due to their natural characteristics, including "size", "shape", "acidity", "quality", "flavor" and "flavor". These characteristics give Ethiopian coffee a unique natural quality, usually, Ethiopia is always used as a "coffee supermarket" for customers to choose the kind of coffee they like. Villages that grow coffee on a large scale 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 every year.
