Editorial verification pending: legacy records sharing this web address disagree about the farm name or country. This page presents one documented record, not a verified merger of those identities. Consult the original research sources below.
This is a research profile, not an independently conducted farm visit. Producer and coffee relationships are shown only when the records agree. Check the research sources below for supporting evidence.
The story
The Idido cooperative was established in the late 1970s and later joined the Yirgacheffe Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union (YCFCU) in 2002. It has maintained a long-standing partnership with international roasters since the mid-2000s to focus on quality initiatives and community development.
Challenges
Farmers face the difficulties of operating in remote, high-altitude terrain while managing small plots that must balance coffee production with subsistence farming.
Innovations
The cooperative has collaborated on quality initiatives including community-specific lot separation, experiments with cherry ripeness, drying techniques, and screen separations.
