TRACEABILITY
Duromina in Oromo means "to improve their lives". It is a cooperative located in the district of Agaro in the Jimma Zone, southwestern Ethiopia. Coffee has grown here for generations, but traditionally it was processed using the natural method, and farmers paid little attention to quality. Although the climate and altitude of the area are ideals for the production of high quality coffees, until recently, coffee in the area was synonymous with poor quality. Year after year, farmers received very low prices for their coffee and, thus, this circle of low quality, lack of motivation and poverty was perpetuated.
In 2010, more than 100 local coffee producers met to form the Duromina Cooperative. As the name implies, their goal was simple: to improve their lives. With technical support, commercial advice and access to financing through the NGO TechnoServe; members purchased a pulper and built a washing station and began processing washed coffee for the first time.
This innovation helped Duromina to generate the basis for producing high quality coffees and attract new expectations to the community. Two years later, an international panel of professional judges would select the Duromina as the best in Africa, and award the co-op with the first prize in the main regional tasting competition.
