How data-driven insights help businesses make smarter sustainability investments while empowering coffee farming communities
The Ethiopian Coffee Map: A Data-Driven Tool for Sustainable Investment
The Ethiopian Coffee Map, developed by Enveritas, provides deep insights into the socio-economic and environmental conditions of Ethiopian coffee farmers. Based on surveys of over 10,000 smallholder farmers between 2018 and 2022, it covers seven zones in Oromia and the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples‘ Region (SNNPR), representing approximately one million coffee farms.
DATA FOR TARGETED PROJECT DEVELOPMENT
By making this data available, stakeholders in Ethiopia’s coffee sector can design more effective projects, identify key challenges, and track progress over time. The platform helps highlight regional differences and enables the development of tailored solutions that address the real needs of farmers.
