Coffee production in Ethiopia is a longstanding tradition, which dates back dozens of centuries. Ethiopia is where Coffea arabica, the coffee plant originates. The plant is now grown in various parts of the world; Ethiopia itself accounts for around 3% of the global coffee market.
Coffee cultivation, preparation, and consumption have shaped daily life in Ethiopia for hundreds of years, dating back to the discovery of coffee trees growing naturally in the wild. While precise historical records are scarce, it is believed that coffee entered international trade as early as the 14th century and has played a vital role in the nation’s economy ever since. Following the establishment of the Ethiopian Empire in the late 18th century, coffee production and exports increased significantly and became more formally organised.
