Ethiopia Girma Sintayehu
Notes of Lavender, Lemon Blam & Cherry
Girma Sintayehu, a long-standing member of the Jabanto farmers group, began his coffee farming journey in 1991 after trading commodities between Dilla and Biloya. His deep involvement in community activities and collaboration with agricultural experts helped him adopt improved coffee technologies and farming practices. He cultivates coffee on a 4.92 hectare farm in Biloya and manages additional plots in Shashamene village, where he produces varietal-separated coffees. His income diversification strategy has been key to his success—investing in coffee farming, a restaurant, and transportation services.
Girma has also expanded his coffee business by establishing a medium-sized coffee washing station on 4 hectares of land with a three-disc pulper, producing around 900 bags of parchment coffee annually. Since 2020, he has introduced honey-processed coffee into his product line, demonstrating his constant drive for innovation. As a first-generation farmer, Girma has steadily acquired smaller plots and mastered rejuvenation techniques like coffee stumping with great success.
Beyond his own farm, Girma is a leader in the Biloya community, helping organize farmers and improve their access to knowledge and international markets. His forward-thinking approach and diversified income model have made him a standout figure in Yirgacheffe and Kochere coffee producing communities.
Due to the nature of how the Ethiopian government has regulated the trade of coffee, it is only very recently that we can connect the farmer to the produce in some lots coming out of that amazing country. We count ourselves fortunate to get to take part in that.
