Smallholders’
Over the years, our team members have acquired ample experiences in dealing with international buyers while establishing excellent relationships with numerous smallholder coffee farmers in Ethiopia based on long-term commitment and trust. Shcoch work closely with local and national smallholder cooperative unions to source different types of washed and natural (unwashed) specialty coffees and create market opportunities for their products at premium price. Such method of sourcing coffee from smallholders is based on set standards and involves our input at different stage of coffee production while creating a strong incentive in all stakeholders to protect the forest and become specialty farmers that can change their lives.
Coffees from smallholders are categorized as wild coffees, forest coffees, and semi forest coffees.
