The producers group known as “Idido, Yirgacheffe” operates under the “Ama Project”, which was established in 2023. Its primary objectives are supporting women farmers and fostering women’s empowerment within their communities. The history of this group is rooted in its commitment to uplifting the roles and contributions of women in agricultural endeavors.

Ama provides extensive support to its members, including the implementation of the “Ama Commitment Income Diversification Scheme.” This initiative aims to enhance the financial well-being of members by offering training, financial assistance, and necessary equipment. These efforts collectively work towards improving the livelihoods of women farmers and promoting gender equity in the agricultural landscape.

While Ama and its associated farmers hold no certifications, the commitment to organic farming is evident. The cooperative has opted for organic practices, although official certification has not been pursued due to the considerable costs associated with verification.

Amarech Ararso is the producer of this lot. Her name means “she became beautiful.” Her farm and processing station are located in Hada and play an essential role in the cooperative’s activities.
