Dida Hora smallholder producers

Approximately 350 small-scale producers deliver coffee to Dida Hora Washing Station in Uraga, Guji, Oromia. Their farms average about 2.8 hectares and sit between 2,000 and 2,400 meters, where volcanic soils, reliable rainfall, and high elevations support primarily Kurume coffee.

History

Tesfaye Bekele expanded his conservation-focused coffee work into Uraga by acquiring Dida Hora and another washing station. Dida Hora now consolidates and processes the growers’ coffee with traceability from cherry reception through export.
