Certification Workflow
How we maintain certification integrity
Cooperatives and private farms are assessed and enrolled in the relevant certification programme.
Our field officers conduct internal inspections using the ICS (Internal Control System) before external audit.
Accredited certification bodies (e.g., Control Union, Ecocert) conduct annual field and document audits.
Certified lots are processed and stored separately with full batch traceability.
A transaction certificate is issued for every certified shipment, confirming organic/FT status.

Certified Sustainability
A growing share of our exports carry internationally recognized sustainability certifications. Ethiopia's smallholder farming practices — minimal chemical inputs, shade-grown coffee, intercropping — make certification a natural fit.
Certifications We Hold
USDA Organic — For the US market. Covers coffee, sesame, spices, and pulses.
EU Organic — Compliant with EC 834/2007 for European buyers.
Rainforest Alliance — Environmental and social sustainability standard for coffee.
Fair Trade (FLO) — Fair pricing and community development premiums for cooperative-sourced lots.
UTZ (now part of Rainforest Alliance) — Sustainable farming programme certification.
Why Ethiopia for Organic?
Over 95% of Ethiopian coffee is grown under shade canopy with minimal or zero agrochemical inputs. Many farms are "organic by default" — formal certification simply documents existing practices. The same applies to sesame, pulses, and spices from remote highland areas.
What Our Clients Say
Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our clients have to say.
“We've been sourcing Yirgacheffe and Sidamo lots from Mohan Import Export for five years. Their quality consistency is outstanding — every shipment cups exactly as the pre-ship sample. Their Q-graders genuinely understand what European specialty roasters need.”
Klaus Bergmann
Head of Green Coffee Procurement at Berliner Kaffeerösterei GmbH
“The Humera sesame we receive from Mohan Import Export consistently exceeds our purity specifications. Their documentation is impeccable — phytosanitary certificates, weight notes, certificates of origin — everything arrives before the cargo. That kind of professionalism is rare.”
Takeshi Yamamoto
Senior Commodity Buyer at Marubeni Foods Corporation
“What sets Mohan Import Export apart is their traceability. Every organic lot comes with full documentation from farm to port. Their organic certification programme supporting 50,000 farmers is impressive, and it gives our customers the transparency story they demand.”
