The Sidama Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union (SCFCU) unites 39 Fairtrade

certified 1st grade organisations, or base groups, located throughout the

mountains and valleys of the Sidama region in southern Ethiopia. Teamed with

gentle climates, the low density crop has a distinctive award-winning character.

SCFCU is well known for its production of garden coffee. This means that

coffee receives organic nutrients from household crops like maize and banana,

and grows under a canopy of fruit trees. Some farmers also produce sugar cane

and chat. 75% of household income comes from coffee.
