about sebsabies’ marge?” No, I don’t. Moreover there is an annual government tax (merchant tax): 30% of total production which is paid after trading time according to a grade given according to the amount: . Grade A: > 1 000 000 birr earned due to coffee trade: from August . Grade B: > 500 000 birr earned due to coffee trade: from July . Grade C: < 500 000 birr earned due to coffee trade: from June The same system, but with quality instead of quantity criteria, could incite akhrabies to give more attention to quality.” 3 rd July 2009. A thirty-four- years-old Genet akhrabie: “Farmers ask me credit and I pay for their future harvest, but at picking time I meet a lot of problems on quality: they dry coffee directly on soil and therefore mix parasite elements of this soil in the bags (branches, stones, leaves, mud), then they don’t dry correctly and often put coffee in non adequate bags preventing air circulation which provokes with high humidity the coffee fermentation inside these bags”. 5 th September 2009. WARDO Limu Genet WARDO expert: “The market is not asking about quality, always it is quantities. Who cares about coffee quality in Ethiopia?” 27 th June 2009. Locally, quality dynamism lies on the shoulders of akhrabies, whose local and especially Addis Abeba clients ask and pay according to quality, and of WARDO 13 officers through their development agents assisting model farmers, their Farmer Training Centres and Demonstration Sites, and of every unit supervising or influencing coffee producers as state farms. But peasants are not incited to produce quality because no difference is made on it by collectors, generally focusing in quantity. If efforts are not rewarded, why shall they suffer? Other coffee channels as service cooperatives and cooperative unions pay according to quality. This way, farmers who are members of active service cooperatives selling to unions as the powerful Oromia Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union and the arising Limu Inara Multi- 13 Refer 6.1.1) Function and role of each actor of the value chain. 12
Purpose Cooperative Union 14 are requested to provide quality products. But they represent 8,140 coffee producing households (4,378 members of the first + 3,762 members of the second one) among the 27,004 coffee producing households of the whole woreda. The main quality criterion, and often the only one for agro-forest coffee, remains harvesting full ripened cherries. Another problem concerning traceability is that coffee growers mix the coffee coming from their garden with this coming from their agro-forest trees, and sell those mixed in the same bags. This is understandable since agro-forest coffee is paid neither more nor less than garden coffee, but exactly at the same price. That doesn’t incite producers to distinguish agro-forest coffee even if they generally consider the latter as the best tasting. Addis Abeba coffee cuppers A lot of rumbles judge of coffee quality as the presence of oil on greasy coffee cups, beans size or as a clean humus management by a leaves selection while growing coffee. But in fact no one can really judge of quality parameters. There is no coffee specialist as there are wine specialists for example. That means it is impossible for a cupper to distinguish a place and year of production tasting a single coffee. At most, a cupper can judge of the altitude according to the body and acidity since acidity decreases for lower altitudes whereas the body increases conversely. However, in order to identify a place of production, a cupper should taste samples of different and accurate places, learn it then remember it. It needs practise and provided marked samples for cuppers. The value chain is currently not organized to do so. Market is not allowing doing it. Specialty market could but tends to disappear (OCFCU cupper, 16 th June 2009). 1.4) Ethiopian coffee research: selected varieties Nowadays, quality locally and nationally appears as a synonym of new selected coffee varieties in the way that they mean high yielding. This joins the value-chain actors’ perception of quality as the result of good agricultural practices, materialized in high yields. Modern coffee plantations as state farms and investors’ ones use high yielding coffee cultivars as now use to do small scale farmers in the framework of extension programmes 14 Refer 6.2.2) The Limu Inara Multi-purpose Cooperative Union, an initiatives’ leader? 13
