Alaka Farmers Association
The Alaka Farmers Association is a collective of smallholder coffee growers located in the West Guji Zone of the Oromia region in Ethiopia. These farmers cultivate coffee at high elevations, typically ranging from 1,900 to 2,200 meters above sea level. They supply their harvested coffee cherries to the Hambela Alaka washing station for processing.
