Celle des riches et celle des pauvres by Bernard Roussel, Feleke Woldeyes

“…Clearly distinguished by the actors of the commercial chain who recognize perfectly the specificities (aspect, colour, odour, taste), they are considered as two products of two different qualities resulting from conditions of production (spontaneous/cultivated), way of transformation, and drying processes.Since a few decades, there have been valorisation efforts of products coming from coffee forest ecosystems as well as homegardens of Ethiopia in order to contribute to conservation of the rich and unique forest and garden biodiversity. In this context, kororima appears as a very convenient product and numerous initiatives of commercialization have been set up.These two products are targeted/end up for two categories of consumers and utilization. …”
