Kochere District is found in Gedeo Zonal administration of the SNNP, Ethiopia. The district is located at the South Western part of Gedo, 340 km away from The Capital Addis Ababa. Farmers practice a traditional agroforestry system where coffee grows under the shade of large legume trees. The soil is covered with dead leaves of banana so as to maintain soil moisture and fertilize the farm. The overall land looks like a well-maintained forest area when looked from the outside.
Farmers in the region cultivate their Ethiopian heirloom varieties without the use of chemical fertilizers. In fact, nearly all coffee in Ethiopia is organic by default, regardless of having received certification. Pristine growing practices and precise processing methods contribute mightily to the world-class status that coffee from this region routinely earns.
