How to Source Green Coffee from Ethiopia?
Posted in :
Let’s be honest: sourcing coffee from Ethiopia can be complicated.
It is the home of the world’s best coffee, but it also involves navigating the Ethiopian Commodities Exchange (ECX), complex logistics, government regulations, and varying grading systems. For an international buyer, going it alone can feel like navigating a maze.
The “Trust” Factor
In the commodities market, relationships are everything. A sample might taste great on the cupping table, but you need to be sure that the container arriving at your port matches that sample.
This is why having a partner with local roots is non-negotiable.
