It’s a family affair and he now works with his brother; both are in a constant search to improve the quality of their coffee. This approach is guided by sustained attention to preserving the natural environment of these lands.

There is the farm of Mohamed Ali, whose family obtained the land in 1946, after the war against the Italians and at a time when the government of Emperor Haile Selassie sought to develop its agricultural lands. It was during this period that the Choché farm, where Mohamed Ali's farm is located, became a coffee forest.   Belco agronomists regularly visit Gera to discuss their harvesting, drying and storage techniques with farmers. Shambé, who works at Belco's Addis Ababa office, is in regular contact with them and visits Gera several times a year.
