Idido cooperative members

The Idido cooperative is located in the Yirgacheffe district of Ethiopia and is a member of the Yirgacheffe Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union. Its membership consists of nearly 2,000 smallholder farmers who typically cultivate coffee on plots averaging 1.5 hectares. These producers often grow coffee as a cash crop alongside subsistence crops like fruits, vegetables, and beans. The cooperative operates a centralized washing station to process cherries delivered by its members.
