PRODUCER:

NARDOS COFFEE DATES BACK TO THE 1960’S, WHEN BINIYAM’S GREAT-GRANDFATHER STARTED COFFEE PRODUCTION IN GUJI. LATER ON, HIS GRANDFATHER BUILT A WASHING STATION THERE. THAT WAS THE FIRST EVER PRIVATELY-RUN WASHING STATION IN THE REGION. THEN, IN 1998, BINIYAM’S FATHER FOUNDED A COFFEE EXPORT COMPANY.

IN THREE GENERATIONS, THE FAMILY HAS PULLED OFF THIS MAJOR UNDERTAKING, LEAVING AN INDELIBLE MARK ON THE HISTORY OF ETHIOPIAN COFFEE.
TODAY, NARDOS COFFEE RUNS NINE WASHING STATIONS AND SIX DRY MILLS IN GUJI, YIRGACHEFE, AND URAGA, WITH A WORKFORCE OF 115 PERMANENT EMPLOYEES.
SHAKISO WASHING STATION IS LOCATED IN THE OROMIA REGION IN THE EASTERN PART OF THE GUJI DISTRICT AT AN ALTITUDE OF 1980M ABOVE SEA LEVEL.
