The Gedeb Cooperative was originally part of the Woka Cooperative under the Yirgacheffe Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union (YCFCU), becoming independent as the Gedeb Cooperative in 2012. It currently has about 300 small farmer members. At the end of December 2017, we visited the Gedeb Cooperative for the first time. The YCFCU manager who received us told us that Yuan Shi was the first Taiwanese green bean supplier to visit, and we felt very excited and honored to be able to visit there. From Ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa to the Gedeb Cooperative in southeastern Yirgacheffe, the journey takes about 8 hours, with about half of the road being unpaved, primitive dirt roads that are bumpy and difficult to travel. When entering the Yirgacheffe region, the air begins to fill with the rich aroma of fermenting fruit skins, indicating that a processing plant or cooperative is nearby.

Upon arriving at the Gedeb Cooperative, we saw nearby farmers continuously delivering ripe berries - some on foot, others using donkeys or motorcycles - making for a very busy scene. The workers directly spread the delivered berries on African raised beds for natural drying for 2-3 weeks, carefully sorting out unripe berries and relying on experienced workers to turn them regularly to ensure the quality of the green beans. Afterwards, the pulp and parchment (parchment layer) are removed, and the beans are stored in a warehouse until the moisture content drops to 11-12% before being exported.
