ZeHabesha Latest Ethiopian News Provider By Dr. Hailu Araaya Nature is honest, and those of us who deal with it and with its various manifestations, such as the Nile River, must be equally honest. I would say that Nature’s “Three Commandments” on the River Nile and given down to the riparian people are: Use it equitably: Each country should have its fair share of the bounty and it should be able to enjoy it in a peaceful way. Nurture it: Plenty of trees must be planted around the river so that there could be more rain.

[…] Coffee sold at the 2020 Ethiopia Cup of Excellence (COE) scored $1,348,690, topping the previously held record of $830,245 in 2011 in El Salvador. The Ethiopia auction, however, had 28 lots for sale, against El Salvador’s 42, which contributed to this auction’s record-high average price of $28 per pound of coffee. The top-scoring coffee at the auction amassed $185.10 per pound or $407 per kilogram. This stands to be the highest price ever for Ethiopian coffee, the Alliance for Coffee Excellence (ACE) relates. Maruyama Coffee Co, a Japanese corporation, purchased half of the lot, along with its buying group which consists of Saza Coffee, Cometeer, Goodboybob Coffee, Difference Coffee, and Harrods. The other half of the lot was purchased by Sarutahiko Coffee Inc, another Japanese firm. Nigusie Gemeda, who produced the coffee in the Sidama region of Ethiopia, saying he has been a coffee farmer for long, added he is “just learning the value of our coffee. I am so happy with the result. Never could I have imagined coffee would have sold with such price. Now I know there is a reason for coffee to be called ‘green gold’.” The 168 registered buyers from 33 countries bid 4137 times for more than five hours to secure the sought-after winning coffees. Rumudamo Coffee, another one from Sidama, was second at the auction, with a total of 902 bids, another record number in the competition history. Bogale WoldeHana, Rumudamo Coffee’s general manager, said, “It is a powerful lesson and beyond what we could have had imagined. We sell our coffee for less than a dollar at times and it’s been discouraging for growers. Now we see there is a market we can tap into if we can guarantee the quality.” “Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee and widely considered to be the producer of the most delicious coffees in the world, yet many of its farmers are among the poorest. This auction sends a message of hope that not only validates the investments – and associated risks – in quality but also serves as a reminder that the quality movement is here to stay” said Geoff Watts, Vice President of Coffee at Intelligentsia.
