6.3.3) <strong>Limu</strong> <strong>coffee</strong> prices and producers<br />
Price variati<strong>on</strong>s at nati<strong>on</strong>al levels<br />
Prices internati<strong>on</strong>ally, nati<strong>on</strong>ally then c<strong>on</strong>sequently locally vary: During third week of<br />
August 2009, dried <strong>coffee</strong> 96<br />
was sold 24 birr/kg in Genet groceries and 30 birr/kg next week<br />
(1 euro = 18 birr at this time). This because of world market evoluti<strong>on</strong>s, and as told me an<br />
Ambuye grocer, because of local <strong>coffee</strong> stocks decrease from July to September: “<strong>Coffe</strong>e<br />
quantity and therefore availability decreases in the woreda three m<strong>on</strong>ths before next harvest,<br />
and prices increase”.<br />
96 Domestic c<strong>on</strong>sumpti<strong>on</strong> <strong>coffee</strong> is exclusively sun dried <strong>coffee</strong>. Washed <strong>coffee</strong>, too expensive and not<br />
assimilated in local drinking customs, is <strong>on</strong>ly addressed to export, or central market. Locally, there is no quality<br />
c<strong>on</strong>trol for this sun dried <strong>coffee</strong>. The client is just visually estimating the <strong>coffee</strong> he buys (Genet akhrabie, 26 th<br />
August 2009).<br />
