Kontext Coffee Chat - ep. 20 An Update from Ethiopia with Mike Mamo from Addis Exporter

We had a catch up with Mike, our Ethiopian coffee supplier for the last 4 years. Listen to his report of the current situation in Ethiopia and some of the challenges Addis Exporter have been experiencing over the last year e.g. their EUDR (EU Deforestation Regulation) compliance efforts, changes in the Ethiopian exchange rate regime, the global shipping crisis, as well as success stories, like building a new washing station to expand their operations, strengthening their relationship with the independent Tokuma farmer group and the growing success of their remote Guji area operations called Green Spring Coffee.

We want to give your cup of coffee a new Kontext - not just a slogan for us. Our #kontextcoffeechats are a series of conversations with different people from all over our supply chain designed to give you the wider context of where your coffee comes from, what kind of an impact it has on people and environment, how it is traded, how it gets here and why it all matters!
