Ethiopia

Ethiopia, considered the birthplace of coffee, has a climate and terrain well-suited for producing high-quality beans. Coffee is one of the country's principal exports and an important source of income for thousands of small-scale farmers. TechnoServe will draw on its forty years of experience working with coffee farmers around the world to help farmers boost their incomes by earning price premiums for higher-quality beans.
