Jigesa is a washing station located in the Shakisso woreda of the Guji Zone in Ethiopia, which processes coffee from approximately 750 independent smallholder outgrowers. The station serves as a central hub for these farmers, who cultivate coffee in the remote, high-altitude mountains of the region.
