1 Only Babu and Ambuye cooperatives are found in <strong>Limu</strong> regi<strong>on</strong>. C<strong>on</strong>cerning OCFCU activities, <strong>Limu</strong><br />
regi<strong>on</strong> represents 2/46, approximately 4%, of <strong>Limu</strong> <strong>coffee</strong> traded boundaries.<br />
Who is right? The OCFCU currently sells <strong>coffee</strong> produced in Goma and Gera woredas<br />
as <strong>Limu</strong> washed <strong>coffee</strong> <strong>on</strong> the Ethiopian Commodity Exchange and in Europe, Japan, etc.<br />
These two districts were part of the <strong>Limu</strong> named administrative divisi<strong>on</strong>s until the early<br />
1980’s. Therefore an expert of the Jima Agricultural Research Center breeding department<br />
told me that a known place for <strong>Limu</strong> <strong>coffee</strong> is also Mana woreda. Moreover, the actual <strong>coffee</strong><br />
board, the Ethiopia Commodity Exchange Authority, also defines its <strong>Limu</strong> <strong>coffee</strong> traded<br />
boundaries. But nowadays the term <strong>Limu</strong> is locally and regi<strong>on</strong>ally employed to menti<strong>on</strong> <strong>Limu</strong><br />
Genet, the district capital of <strong>Limu</strong> Kosa. As explained me a Genet dweller: “The term <strong>Limu</strong><br />
pointed and still points out different entities according to people and times. At its evocati<strong>on</strong>, it<br />
reminds <strong>Limu</strong> Genet town, and therefore <strong>Limu</strong> Kosa and <strong>Limu</strong> Seka woredas come after in<br />
mind. Whereas for external people (out of local woredas up to Jimma), they maybe come<br />
first.” In this report, <strong>Limu</strong> regi<strong>on</strong> and <strong>Limu</strong> <strong>coffee</strong> traded boundaries will be distinguished in<br />
this way. The terrain of investigati<strong>on</strong>s required for geographical indicati<strong>on</strong> will be more<br />
restricted: <strong>Limu</strong> Kosa woreda.<br />
