Yirgacheffe Coffee Farmers Cooperatives Union (YCFCU)

The Yirgacheffe Coffee Farmers Cooperatives Union (YCFCU) was established in 2002 and currently comprises 24 primary cooperatives with approximately 50,000 farmers in total. Besides the Micher cooperative, well-known cooperatives such as Biloya, Konga, Harfusa, and Worka are all part of the YCFCU family.

Aromo Cooperative

Aromo Cooperative was established in 1975 and joined YCFCU in 2002. Currently, Aromo Cooperative has 2,254 members, with each member's cultivation area not exceeding 4 hectares, representing Ethiopia's typical small-scale garden cultivation method. Every one to two years, cooperative members conduct elections to select an executive committee, which can make decisions on purchasing new equipment, payment methods for transactions with members, and other matters.

Additionally, YCFCU assigns professional managers to cooperatives to provide guidance and advice on harvesting, production, and other processes to increase yield and improve quality. The establishment of cooperatives allows farmers to avoid exploitation by buyers offering low prices. When facing economic difficulties, cooperatives can also provide loan assistance. This is highly beneficial for both farmers and coffee production.
