Duromina Cooperative members

Duromina is a member-owned producer cooperative from Boto near Agaro in Ethiopia's Jimma Zone. It began with 113 residents in 2010; Verve's archived release reports that membership later exceeded 130 farmers. Other sources publish different later counts, so this profile dates and attributes the figures.
