Tesfaye Bekele

Tesfaye Bekele is an Ethiopian environmental scientist and coffee producer who founded Suke Quto after the 1998 Guji wildfires. He later expanded into Uraga by acquiring Dida Hora and another washing station, extending his forest-conservation and quality-processing model to hundreds of small-scale growers.

History

Tesfaye founded Suke Quto in 2000 to prove coffee could restore wildfire-damaged forest while supporting livelihoods. Over 25 years it grew into a vertically integrated operation. His later Uraga expansion includes Dida Hora, which processes traceable coffee from about 350 growers farming an average of 2.8 hectares.
