The Single Farmer Project is the result of an effort to support Ethiopian producers with a marketplace for farm-traceable coffees. Mr. Gobena Bendo is a 65-year-old farmer with a lifetime of experience in coffee production. He inherited 10 hectares of land from his father and hopes to pass it on to some of his children, who still live in the same village.

For many years, he has relied on income from coffee production to support his family. This income covers his expenses for health, transportation, and other daily needs. Mr. Gobena produces 7 to 8 quintals of coffee per hectare and also grows cereals on part of his land to meet his family’s annual food consumption needs. To assist with the farm-work, he employs two part-time workers, in addition to the help he receives from his adult children, who live nearby.
