In July 1991, EPF hosted a national conference attended by more than 20 political and ethnic organizations. The Conference adopted the Transitional Charter and elected an 87-member House of Representatives, with the President of ERF, Meles Zenawi, as President of the Transitional Government and President of the House of Representatives. A transitional government was established. On 24 May 1993, Eritrea (formerly Ethiopian province of Eritrea) became a sovereign State through an internationally supervised referendum. In December 1994, the Constitution of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia was formulated. The constitution stipulates that Ethiopia will adopt a federal system and a parliamentary cabinet system after the election, with a term of office of five years. National elections were held in May 1995. On August 22, the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia was established. Meles became Prime Minister as Chairman of the Majority Party in the House of People's Representatives. On May 14, 2000, Ethiopia held a national election, in which the Ethiopian Revolutionary Front defeated other opposition parties by an absolute majority to retain power. In October, a new federal parliament and government were established. The presidents of both houses and Prime Minister Meles were elected for re-election. The original cabinet was also retained with the approval of the parliament. In October 2001, May restructured the government and reshuffled the cabinet, adding a Ministry of Youth, Sports and Culture and a Ministry of Taxation, forming a new cabinet composed of 18 ministers.

Readers interested in Ethiopian fine beans should pay attention to the regions of Sidamo, Yegashefi (especially rare sun-cured beans), Harar, Lim and Kimbi, which have strong orange and floral flavors different from those of Central and South American beans. Ethiopia is a treasure trove of coffee genes. Experts estimate that there may be more than 2,000 Arabica species hidden in Ethiopia, but the biggest dilemma facing Ethiopia's coffee industry is that its production is too low. This has to do with smallholder and organic farming, which produces an average of 800 to 1,200 kilograms per hectare, much less than in Central and South America (Costa Rica produces an average of two tons of beans per hectare), suggesting that Egypt still has a long way to go to increase production. In addition, natural decaf coffee trees are being planted in Egypt, and natural decaf beans will be available as soon as 2009. The bulk of coffee production (95%) is done by small shareholders, with an average yield of 561 kg/ha. For centuries, small shareholders of Ethiopian coffee farms have been producing a variety of high-quality coffee types. The secret to producing good coffee is that coffee farmers have developed a coffee culture under suitable conditions through generations of repeated learning of the coffee growing process, which mainly consists of farming methods using natural fertilizers, picking the reddest and fully ripe fruits and processing them in clean conditions. Ethiopian coffee varies in quality, nature, and variety due to differences in elevation, region, location, and even land type. Ethiopian coffee beans are unique due to their natural characteristics, including "size of coffee beans,""shape,""acidity,""quality,""flavor" and "aroma." These characteristics give ethiopian coffee its unique natural qualities, and ethiopia usually acts as a "coffee supermarket" for customers to choose from their favorite coffee-growing villages produce about 35% of the country's coffee production. These coffee farms, which use a multi-tiered coffee growing system, are carefully cared for. Coffee farmers do not use chemical fertilizers, but use fallen leaves, plant and animal debris to increase soil nutrients. In addition to coffee, farmers also frequently grow non-coffee crops. Even manor coffee (coffee produced on state farms), which accounts for 5% of the country's coffee production, exhibits forest-type coffee production characteristics.

Located in the most privileged natural conditions, Ethiopia produces unique high-quality coffee every year. Ethiopia's coffee growing cycle brings harvest joy to the country every year. Beautiful white coffee flowers bloom and bear fruit every year between March and April. Only the reddest and most mature fruits are selected for coffee between September and about December. New coffee exports begin in November or December each year.
