Agriculture
Farming
Farming
Dense smallholder mosaic; mixed shade and food intercropping.
Ripeness variability is high (many pickers, many micro-parcels).
Post-Harvest
Processing
Processing
Washed and natural both common.
Quality hinges on: cherry sorting, fermentation discipline, and (most of all) drying capacity vs peak-day intake.

Supply Chain
Supply chain + dynamics
The “traceable unit” is usually a washing station; “Bensa” often means an aggregation around multiple kebeles feeding stations.
Cash competition for cherry is intense: stations with faster cash capture better cherry.
Lots are commonly built by day(s) of intake rather than a single farm.
