The Oromia Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union is named after the Oromia region in Ethiopia. Sixty-five percent of the country's coffee production is from this region. Approximately 618,000 households in the region are involved in coffee production.
The coffee in the Oromia region is shade grown and is bird friendly. All of the coffee is of the Arabica type.
Men and women of the OCFCU are the growers, processors and exporters of this high quality Arabica coffee. The OCFCU was established in June 1999. Nearly 23,000 farmers members have organised into 35 cooperatives affiliated to the OCFCU.

ecocoffee supports the BARBARY LION PROJECT

ecocoffee is please to support the

BARBARY LION PROJECT

Pete Thompson has worked with Barbary lions for over 10 years in the UK as a keeper. Pete is a Sahara Marathon veteran, running for the Barbary Lion Project.

Pete says: “I ran 150 miles across the Sahara in 2005 and 2008 to raise money and awareness for North African lion conservation. Big cat conservation supporters know that human poverty has to be in check for wildlife issues to move forward. Barbary lions and Ethiopian lions once shared a range across North Africa before the global economy. This is the time to use Fairtrade to get the balance right for people and animals in Africa and elsewhere.”

For information the Barbary Lion Project contact Pete Thompson, Friends of Wildlink, at fow.office@yahoo.co.uk.
