Coffee Quality Hub Launches

The Ethiopian Coffee and Tea Authority opened a Coffee Quality Inspection and Certification Center in Dilla, Gedeo Zone, to strengthen Ethiopia’s position in global coffee markets. Funded with 17 million birr from the Gedeo Zone Coffee Suppliers Association, the center will cut transport costs, streamline trade, and improve efficiency. It will focus on premium Yirgachefe coffee while offering research and training to help farmers and suppliers expand foreign market access.
