Nesru is part of Tokuma Coffee Farmers, a collective of single producers in Agaro, Jimma. Working together on marketing, exporting, and sharing knowledge, they improve cup quality and market their coffee more effectively. With support from Addis Exporter and Osito Coffee, producers like Nesru have gained access to specialty roasters worldwide.

Groups like Tokuma Coffee Farmers offer highly traceable, single-producer lots from Ethiopia, where farmers maintain full control—something rare in a system largely dominated by cooperatives and processing stations. We’re grateful to share these distinctive coffees, while recognizing the vital role larger groups play in supporting many farmers.

Nesru and his peers take pride in controlling their operations and receiving recognition for their work. With help from Osito Coffee and Addis Exporters, their profits have fueled farm expansion, new plantings, and better practices like pruning and stumping. Beyond coffee, they’ve diversified businesses, created jobs, and improved family livelihoods.
