Mustefa Abakeno is a smallholder with 18 hectares of land near Agaro in the Jimma Zone of Western Ethiopia. His farm is located at 2,040masl and is planted with coffee varieties from the Jimma research centre. He has a small disc pulper that he uses to wash-process half of his coffee whilst the other half is dried as a natural process for 24-27 days on the African (raised) beds. Mustefa has also set up two mills called 'Beshasha' and 'Kabira' to process his and his neighbours' coffee. Due to subtle differences in location and microclimate, Beshasha almost exclusively processes washed lots, whilst Kabira, which has more space for drying beds, is more suited to processing naturals.
