About
Alemayehu Daniel Miju’s grandfather established the farm in 1946 planting it with coffee from Kochere. Alemayehu started running the farm in 1998 and has recently expanded the farm to 10.3 hectares. Good agronomy, along with the expansion, has meant that Alemayehu has increased the productivity of the farm as well as the quality of the coffee. We were introduced to Alemayehu through Trabocca’s (the importer we work with) Operation Cherry Red program. Through the support of the program, Alemayehu was able to get an export license which meant he could export directly. This has benefitted him and his family in many ways. By receiving the full premium for their coffee, they have bought a house closer to the children’s schools, and a truck to get to the farm and help manage the crop. Alemayehu also grows beans, cereals and barley for the local markets.
