In his teens, he began to supply neighboring coffee washing stations with cherries purchased from nearby relatives and villagers in addition to his own family’s farm. He realized that there were not many washing stations nearby, and he had to travel great distances to deliver his coffee. Thus began the idea to construct his own washing station to reduce the travel time for coffee producers in his region.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs well as coffee, producers in the region will plant other crops such as sugarcane, a variety of fruits and “Inset”; a common indigenous plant that can be prepared as food in different forms. Income from coffee is important, but minimal for most farmers due to the small size of their farms. As such, inputs are minimal – most coffee grown in the region is 100% organic, though not certified due to high certification costs, as farmers simply do not have the money to apply chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProducers working with this station face a number of obstacles when growing coffee. This includes a lack of access to electricity, water, telecommunication, and road access.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe impact the Dukamo family has on the region is significant due to the many farms they have been able to reach – educating youths about coffee production and connecting producers to global coffee markets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 2\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor processing, the journey begins with only the ripest cherries being selectively handpicked. Once collected, the cherries are delivered to the mill to be sorted based on density and quality. This process is carried out by submerging the cherries in tanks and removing the floating cherries prior to drying.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter sorting, the cherries are then de-pulped with a Panagos eco-friendly machine and transferred into fermentation tanks for 24 hours. Once fermentation is complete, the coffee is rushed through channels and pushed with wooden tools to remove the mucilage. After the washing process is complete\u003cspan\u003e, the cherries are then moved to traditional raised beds lined with mesh nets. \u003c\/span\u003eThe coffee rests here for roughly 12-15 days depending on temperature and humidity, rotation occurring every 30 minutes. Once the ideal moisture content is reached, the coffee is bagged and sent to the dry mill to be hulled and prepared for export.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1610\/6327\/files\/Gafisse_Being_Washed_3-min.jpg?v=1775054910\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":"MERAKI Artisan Coffee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52600209277207,"sku":null,"price":129.57,"currency_code":"SAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1610\/6327\/files\/rumudamo_w.png?v=1775205338","url":"https:\/\/merakiartisan.com\/products\/ethiopia-rumudamo-washed","provider":"MERAKI","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
