About ZEBAD

 
 
 
Established in 2005, Zebad General Export and Import’s mission is to export high quality, fertiliser-free washed and sun-dried coffee to the international market. From the outset, the company has presented a strong performance record and currently exports coffee to Italy, Germany, France, Greece, Switzerland, Turkey, Japan, Saudi Arabia, China and South East Asia.

We are working in partnerships with smallholder coffee farmers to supply the international markets directly. The farmers we work with are in the Southern and Western regions of Ethiopia; Sidamo, Yergacheffe, Aletawondo, Guji, Borena, Jimma, Limu and Bonga. Some of the highest grade coffee beans in the world are grown in these areas. Our work is to ensure a partnership of mutual benefit, through the sale of organic and traceable Ethiopian coffee to the world market.
