Privately owned communal wet mill in Dumerso, collecting cherries from various smallholders. This is a wet mill producing 40% Natural Sundried Coffees and 60% washed. The producer is part of a project to do improved quality preparation of Grade -1 for both washed and Natural Sundried. They are actively working on traceability, lot separation and quality improvement. About 700 smallholder farmers delivering tiny amounts of cherries daily to the wet miller. On average farmers are having a farm size of fewer than 1 hectares. Most coffees are organic by default. Organic compost is common, pruning less common. A farmer can typically have less than 1500 trees per hectare, and 1 tree is typically producing cherries equal to less than 100 – 200 grams of green coffee. A mix of local variety’s. Such as native coffee of forest origin transferred to family smallholder plots. The varieties are referred to collectively as Ethiopian Heirloom, which is a myriad of local native Typica hybrids and new improved varietals based on the old strains.
