Organic Sidamo for US Specialty Market
180 MT of USDA Organic and Fair Trade–certified Sidamo natural-process coffee supplied to a US West Coast importer for distribution to 200+ independent roasters.
Project Overview
Project Overview
A prominent US green-coffee importer needed a reliable supply of certified organic Sidamo with exceptional cup quality for their network of independent specialty roasters.
Challenge
Every lot needed dual certification (USDA Organic + Fair Trade), SCA scores above 83, and full traceability to named cooperatives. The buyer also required quarterly farm-visit reports for marketing purposes.
Our Solution
We partnered with three Sidama Zone cooperatives enrolled in both organic and Fair Trade programmes. Our field officers photographed processing at each station and documented the full chain of custody. Transaction certificates were issued within 5 business days.
Results
- 180 MT delivered across 9 containers
- Average SCA score: 84.5
- All transaction certificates issued within 5 days
