The Waka Cooperative is part of the YCFCU Cooperative Alliance (Yirgacheffe Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union). Founded in 2005, the Woka Cooperative is located in a remote area of the Yega Snow Coffee producing area, 75 kilometers from the local coffee distribution center Dilla, with poor external roads and 20 kilometers of dirt roads from the cooperative to the main tarmac road. The cooperative is composed of 305 farmers, with a planting area of about 763 hectares and an annual output of nearly 460 tons. Because no chemical fertilizers or pesticides are used in coffee cultivation, Waka farmers have also obtained the Skal organic coffee certification recognized by the European Union. More than half of Ethiopian coffee cultivation belongs to the Garden Coffee type, courtyard coffee as its meaning, small coffee farmers in their own backyard small area of coffee, the average planting area of 0.5 to 1.5 hectares per household, coffee as the main cash crop, in addition to planting miscellaneous grain crops such as plantains as shade and food. Each farmer is not only self-sufficient in grain, but also produces coffee beans in exchange for other daily necessities. This mode of production, coupled with the local unique native tree species coffee garden, makes the flavor of each batch of coffee beans different, with considerable uniqueness.
