Belaneh Bariso

Producer Info:

Belaneh Bariso didn’t always want to be a farmer. After completing high school, he tried trading in the Bensa area for a while, though found success elusive in busy marketplace.

When he inherited a piece of land in the Wamerera village from his father, Belaneh decided instead to go back to his family’s tradition of coffee farming. He replanted the land with 74110 and 74158 varietals from the local agricultural office, and intercropped with enset and avocado.

Since then Belaneh has worked hard to grow his production numbers, and is an excellent example of a young farmer who is eager to achieve in the coffee industry.
