Refisa provides growers with access to infrastructure

It supplies 20 to 40 plants to each grower, depending on the size of their farm.

The Refisa washing station, owned by our partner SNAP, is a well-known and very active station since 2019. The 550 or so growers bring their coffee there by donkey or horse, in cherry.

Refisa provides growers with access to infrastructure, a road, a hospital and a school.

When the cherries arrive at the station, they ferment in the shade for between 45 and 60 hours. They are then washed to remove the mucilage. The coffee is dried on a raised bed, in layers of 5 to 10 cm, for 7 to 10 days.

With a total of 200 drying beds, the Refisa station ensures that each batch of coffee has enough space and time to dry properly.

Terroir Nensebo

Nensebo is a woreda in south-central Ethiopia, located in the Mirab Arsi Zone of the Oromia Region. It forms the southern end of the Mirab Arsi Zone and borders both the Sidama Zone and the Guji and Bale Zones of the Oromia Region. Hills and mountain ranges make up 70% of the woreda, while drylands and plateaus make up the rest. The woreda is crossed by several rivers: the Hodem, Kuke, Bedesa, Aebamo and Bohera. Coffee has its place in this area, which covers about 5,000 hectares. There are deposits of graphite, nickel, beryllium and marble, but these have not been exploited commercially. Nensebo has 40 kilometres of rural roads.
