Fifty years on from the Golden Jubilee

Founded in 1969 by Ethiopian coffee exporters. What the association set out to do then, and which parts of it are still the work.


Sample entry. Written to exercise the Coffee Pulse templates — the association has not published this.

The association was founded in 1969 by Ethiopian coffee exporters, as a non-profit whose purpose was to promote Ethiopian coffee in the international market. It represents the sector’s actors from smallholder farmers through to exporters, and it is affiliated to the Specialty Coffee Association, the African Fine Coffee Association, the Specialty Coffee Association of Japan, the International Coffee Organization and the Ethiopian Coffee and Tea Authority.

What has not changed

Quality, traceability and sustainability were the three words on the jubilee, and they are still the three the association is measured against. What has changed is that all three are now things a buyer expects to be shown rather than told.

What has

The record. An association that once made introductions now holds the provenance file, runs the grading standard, and does the compliance work once, for everyone.
