Buying coffee in Ethiopia

Ethiopia // 30 September - 5 October 2024

At the birthplace of coffee: visit carefully evaluated coffee producers with IPD and get to know your new suppliers on site!

The legend says that a goat herder discovered wild coffee plants in the Ethiopian region of Kaffa in the 9th century. After his goats had eaten the coffee cherries, they were more active and stayed awake longer at night. The abbot of the local monastery then made a drink from the cherries: and coffee was born.

The facts also speak for themselves: Ethiopia is the largest coffee producer in Africa and exports around 190,000 tonnes of Arabica coffee every year.

IPD has therefore identified reliable coffee producers from Ethiopia for you, which we would like to oresent as part of our ‘Speciality Coffee’ buying mission. Benefit from our pre-selection and save yourself a lengthy sourcing process!

All companies were visited and evaluated in advance by IPD for quality, export capacity and social and ecological standards. All the coffee producers we will visit offer ethical and high-quality coffee.

Gain insights into the entire supply chain and get to know the people who are passionate about growing and processing coffee of the highest quality.

We accompany you on site and organise the entire logistics in Ethiopia.

Your advantages at a glance:

  • Visits to 5 to 7 reliable IPD suppliers of speciality Arabica coffee.
  • Information about the entire value chain: from cultivation and production to logistics and export.
  • Exclusively arranged company visits and customised B2B meetings, tailored to your needs and product interests.
  • Organisation of the trip, including transfers and accommodation on site by IPD.
