After selling a property in Addis Ababa in 2008, he used the proceeds to buy land in Shakisso and began planting coffee.\u003cbr\u003eBy 2009 he was harvesting his own crop, collecting cherry from neighbors, and selling through the ECX. In 2016 he formalized Dimtu PLC, pairing his own farm (Tero Farm) with a washing station and later a dry mill to oversee quality from cherry to export. What distinguishes Dimtu from most private washing stations is the structure of its outgrower program. Rather than simply purchasing cherry, Getachew’s team registers and maps every contributing farm, trains each producer in agronomy and processing, and maintains meticulous records through a dedicated outgrower\u003cbr\u003eengagement office. Participating farmers receive pre-harvest financing, seedlings, and improved access to materials — and are rewarded with premiums tied directly to quality. - Crop to Cup Importers\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lark Coffee Roasters","offers":[{"title":"340g","offer_id":67749744083078,"sku":null,"price":22.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2lbs","offer_id":67749744115846,"sku":null,"price":54.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/1809\/5471\/files\/6815444908_23c6e56bfe_k.jpg?v=1792703407","url":"https:\/\/larkcoffee.ca\/products\/ethiopia-getachew-zekele-washed","provider":"Lark Coffee Roasters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
