The Konga Cooperative is one of 26 cooperatives under the Yirgacheffe Coffee Farmers Cooperatives Union (YCFCU), located 5 kilometers south of Yirgacheffe town. The Konga Cooperative was established in 1994 and joined the YCFCU cooperative alliance in 2002. Because of its proximity to the Konga River basin, it adopted "Konga" as the cooperative's name. The Konga Cooperative is composed of over 1,500 small-scale coffee farmer families, whose average coffee cultivation area is less than 1.25 hectares, with planting altitudes ranging from approximately 1800 to 2250 meters.

The Konga Cooperative operates its own washed processing station, where the washed processing is quite meticulous. Fresh, ripe coffee cherries first pass through a depulping machine to remove the outer skin, while the pulp and mucilage layers are removed during fermentation. After the fermentation process is complete, the beans are washed with clean spring water to remove the fermented mucilage layer.

In Konga, parchment beans are placed on shaded raised beds for 10 to 12 days of drying until moisture content drops to 12%. Afterwards, the beans are moved to warehouses for grading and packaging, then sold to exporters who market them in the international coffee market.
