Rare in Ethiopia: a woman owns her own farm

Following a family inheritance, Genet Seifu became the owner of her own farm. Doubly rare: it is she who manages the processes on her farm, while also managing the export of coffee processed in kind. 

It is on her farm that Genet collects cherries from neighbouring producers as well as her own crop.

Straight from the Limmu Kossa area near the village of Wolensu, this natural coffee is produced by Genet Seifu. It cultivates on 100 hectares the varieties 74110, 74140 and 74145 under forest cover. 

Genet employs 14 full-time employees on its farm and up to 200 during the peak of the harvest. This coffee is decaffeinated by the company CR3, located in Bremen, Germany. It's the only factory in the world that uses subcritical CO2 to decaffeinate coffee.


WOMEN COFFE, why support women producers?


Women play a vital role in the industry, they have a strong involvement in the farms and represent more than 70% of the labour force in the fields, harvesting, sorting the beans...

However, only 10% of them are entrepreneurs and only 20% are landowners (including joint ownership with their spouses). 

Increasing the income of women producers has a direct and positive impact on the education of children and the comfort of the home.

Zone Jimma

Jimma is a land of coffee origins. This appellation benefits from a rich natural environment where coffee grows mainly in the shade of large endemic trees, in the heart of the forests. The coffee produced here offers fine quality cups and an inspiring agricultural model. Yet this appellation has been a little slow to join the international speciality coffee scene. The work of local producers and the organisation of these coffee growers has revealed the potential of Jimma coffees, ensuring traceability and quality.
