Roasted coffee business development Yeka Sub city, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Ethiopian population is estimated to be 90+ millions, of which coffee sustains the livelihood
of 15 million people. Coffee is vital to the culture and socioeconomic life of the state. The
Ethiopian economy is highly dependent on coffee as it contributes to more than 25% of the
country’s foreign exchange earnings. The best quality green coffee bean from Ethiopia is
usually exported on a bestselling day for not more than 6 dollars per 1 kilo (2.2 pounds).
This amount is distributed between all parties that are involved in the coffee industry;
starting from farmers who grow coffee, to processors that wash and remove the skin of the
coffee cherry, to transporters that bring the coffee from Ethiopian coffee growing regions to
the capital of Addis Ababa, and exporters who pack and export coffee in containers from
Djibouti Port to many destinations all over the world. Our research suggests that once the
green coffee bean reaches its destination and finally to roasters, the coffee is sold in a
range between 21 and 45 US dollars depending on the market region. 1 kilo of coffee can
produce as much as 90+ cups of coffee we consume. We believe this distribution is unfair
for the country that produces the coffee, thus we are working toward a goal with a fair
distribution to all the ones involved. Our Coffee is not only grown and cultivated in coffee
birth place, but also roasted and packed in Ethiopia. While drinking our coffee, you can
enjoy the authentic taste of coffee and be part of the African story that promotes products
that are fully made in Africa. Strength of the project: Young entrepreneur with recognized
management and business development skills, awarded by UNDP, and selected by
Forbes and BBC. High quality premium coffee with an attractive price and professional
service. Since we are located in the same land that produces some of the finest coffee in
the world, we have access to abundant unlimited fine Ethiopian coffee. Human resource is
relatively cheaper with a large young population that is driven. Located in East Africa, we
have access to markets in Asia, Europe, Africa and North America. Government incentives
and access to GSP+ & AGOA privilege.
