Tsegaye Tekebo

Tsegaye Tekabo shines bright as an example of the evolving landscape of Ethiopian specialty coffee. As one of Jabanto Group's earliest members, Tsegaye has earned national recognition for his hard work and dedication. Tsegaye's farm represents a positive shift from traditional subsistence farming towards commercially scalable agriculture. His farm features a garden coffee production system with well-maintained agroforestry practices. The coffee plants are grown under the light shade of perennial trees, while food crops like Enset (false banana) and root crops are intercropped alongside them. He also serves as a resource for other coffee farmers in neighbouring villages, supplying them with improved coffee seedlings and supporting them with post-harvest handling practices.
