Sweet Berry is a classic Sidamo-style natural with a built in premium that the exporter uses to build wells in producer villages. This either improves or provides access to clean water, and is currently from Idido village.
Cherries are harvested and picked individually by hand. Pickers rotate among trees every eight to ten days, choosing only the cherries that are a deep red colour.
For the natural, the oldest method of processing coffee, the entire cherry after harvest is first cleaned and then placed in the sun to dry on tables lining the hills.
Established in 2009, Ranger Industry and Trading PLC focussed more on speciality coffee and exporting from the highlands of Ethiopia from 2017.
With offices in Addis and washing stations in Yirgacheffee, Gedeb, Kochere, Guji, Sidamo and Wonago woredas, they are able to enhance the quality of the coffee they offer.
They have projects including building public educational and health infrastructures and facilities where its main operations are taking places. Their involvement ranges from time volunteering of employees to cash donations and implementation of projects in different parts of the country.
They have sought to extend the companies’ commitment to socially responsible business practices, including engagement with and support of local government and coffee-growing communities, sustainable coffee strategy and values, employee empowerment, and environmental-friendly business operational areas in both the Gedeo Zone and Addis Ababa.
