History
The coffee plant,Coffea arabica, originates in Ethiopia.According to legend, the 9th-century goatherderKaldidiscovered the coffee plant after noticing the energizing effect the plant had on his flock, but the story did not appear in writing until 1671 and is probably apocryphal.
Production
Ethiopia is the world's seventh largest producer of coffee, and Africa's top producer, with 260,000 metric tonnes in 2006. Half of the coffee is consumed by Ethiopians,and the country leads the continent indomestic consumption. The major markets for Ethiopian coffee are the EU (about half of exports), East Asia (about a quarter) and North America.The total area used for coffee cultivation is estimated to be about 4,000km2(1,500sqmi), the size is unknown due to the fragmented nature of the coffee farms.The way of production has not changed much since the 10th century, with nearly all work, cultivating and drying, still done by hand.
The revenues from coffee exports account for 10% of the annual government revenue, because of the large share the industry is given very high priority, but there are conscious efforts by the government to reduce the coffee industry's share of the GDP by increasing the manufacturing sector.
The Coffee and Tea Authority, part of the federal government, handles anything related to coffee and tea, such as fixing the price at which the washing stations buy coffee from the farmers. This is a legacy from a nationalization scheme set in action by the previous regime that turned over all the washing stations to farmers cooperatives.The domestic market is heavily regulated through licenses, with the goal of avoiding market concentration.
