Enku serves as a vital link between exporters and importers, aiming to bridge the communication gap that arises due to language barriers. Many farmers and cooperatives lack fluency in the language spoken by various importers, leading to crucial information being lost in translation.

This information gap can result in a lack of understanding about the coffee’s origin, quality, and adherence to international standards. Additionally, there is a need for an efficient communication structure, and coffee producers often lack a standardized approach to exporting coffee, hindering their ability to cater to customer needs and demands.

To address these challenges, Enku plays a pivotal role as a mediator between farmers, cooperatives, and importers. Our diverse range of services includes quality assurance, organic certification, sample collection, laboratory analysis, grading (quality classification), and handling of export documents and registration via TRACES (Trade Control and Expert System).

Moreover, Enku is dedicated to facilitating farmers‘ access to the international market by promoting their coffees and providing essential support for exporting. As an Ethiopian-based company, we are actively involved in on-site activities, hiring local experts, conducting training sessions, introducing Covid-19 measures to cooperatives and farmers, and distributing protective masks and disinfectants.

Enku’s commitment to supporting coffee farmers extends to assisting them with organic certification, empowering them to flourish sustainably. Our overarching mission is to foster transparent and fruitful relationships across the coffee supply chain while uplifting the livelihoods of farmers and promoting the excellence of Ethiopian coffee worldwide.
