There are two auction centers in the country, one in the capital Addis Ababa (Addis Ababa) and the other in Dire Dawa in eastern Ethiopia. Coffee growers wash fresh fruits or take them to private coffee processing plants or cooperative coffee washing stations. Washed and dried coffee beans are transported to a central store in Addis Ababa, the capital, where they are fully inspected and soaked, rated according to poor quality and auctioned. Coffee from state-owned farms has to follow the same procedure after being processed by the farm. Buyers who participate in the auction will carefully observe the coffee beans and their soaking proof before bidding. The bidding takes the form of buyers shouting out the list price. Ethiopia exports 80% of the natural or sun-cured coffee beans and 15% of the wet-processed coffee beans every year. Ethiopia has about 2.5% of the global coffee market. Ethiopia's coffee is exported to all parts of the world, and Germany, Japan, Saudi Arabia and the United States are Ethiopia's four major coffee exporters. On average, Ethiopia exports about 109000 tons of coffee (equivalent to 1.8 million bags of 60 kg coffee) to all parts of the world each year.

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.
