The Farm: West of Addis Ababa lies Nekemte, a market town and hub for the primary cooperatives that supply Oromia Coffee Farmers Co-operative Union (OCFCU), a secondary cooperative. Locally, the coffee produced here is known as Lekempti in Amharic or Nekemte/Neqemte in Oromo. Primary cooperatives consist of coffee-growing members who harvest and process their own beans. Secondary cooperatives, on the other hand, are composed of primary members and offer services like export facilitation, financial assistance, and training.
OCFCU has been integrating innovative technology to enhance efficiency, foster transparency, and expand market reach for its 560,000 individual farmer members. The organization advocates for Fair Trade practices to promote socially and environmentally sustainable methods and to cultivate lasting relationships among producers, traders, and consumers. It also strives to empower small-scale coffee farmers to leverage the Fair Trade coffee market. Currently, 63 primary cooperatives, comprising 52,442 members (46,143 male and 6,299 female), are certified under Fair Trade standards and sell their coffee under Fair Trade terms. Of these, 43 are both Fair Trade and Organic certified, including those contributing to the aforementioned coffee.
