Three farms.
One standard of
care.
Koshele, Wezeka and Konta sit at different altitudes and grow different things — banana and fresh produce in the lowlands, coffee in the highland shade. What they share is the same crew culture, the same records and the same handover to our own trucks.
Every hectare here was cleared, planted and mapped by people who still work it.
Koshele Farm
The group's first and largest holding: more than 1,000 hectares at Koshele Kebele, Geressie Woreda, with 320 hectares under Cavendish banana and the balance in papaya, fresh produce and oilseed blocks.
Fruit is cut, washed, graded and packed on site, then loaded into reefers at the packhouse door. Nothing is handed to a stranger before it reaches the port.
Wezeka Farm
Open field production for watermelon, vegetables and rotational oilseed crops — sesame, niger seed and green mung bean — grown to spread the group's harvest calendar across the year.
Wezeka takes most of the group's seasonal labour. Land preparation, planting and picking are organised block by block with crews from the surrounding kebeles.
Konta Farm
The group's coffee farm, planted under shade in the Konta highlands and picked selectively — only red cherry leaves the row.
Lots are kept separate through washing and drying so a buyer can trace a bag back to the block it came from, and traded through Habesha Coffee.
The work, as it actually looks

Audited from the row to the carton
Organic practice, GlobalG.A.P. field standards and ISO management systems govern how the farms plant, spray, pick and pack. Records travel with the fruit.

Buyer visits to Koshele are arranged year round. Sample cartons and phytosanitary documentation on request.
