They plant coffee trees alongside subsistence crops and livestock-raising crops. The main local shade tree species include acacia, podocarpus, and others.

Processing and Quality

Chelba Cooperative's processing plant primarily handles coffee cherries harvested from surrounding farmers. Before processing the coffee cherries, Chelba requires farmers to pick the cherries according to strict standards - they only harvest mature red cherries. This is a crucial quality control step for specialty coffee. In recent years, Chelba Cooperative's beans have been highly praised. Green beans processed using the natural method exhibit strawberry sweetness and blueberry notes, while beans processed through the washed method display sweetness and acidity similar to citrus and apple.
