History of GF Coffee Export

The Gutema family has been living in the vicinity of Gimbie town, specifically in Wallo Yesus kebele (Go'ii Choli). Ato Gutema Firisa, who was born here, grew up in a region that is well-suited for growing coffee trees due to its favorable climate and fertile soil. His grandfather and family were coffee farmers and planted numerous coffee trees in their kebele, which was popular among the neighboring farmers. During those times, the farmers only used traditional coffee marketing methods at the local market. Ato Gutema's father worked at the Ethiopia Coffee Market Corporation for over 40 years. Given his family's attachment to coffee, Ato Gutema decided to improve coffee marketing and export practices by establishing coffee export company. Prior to venturing into coffee export, Ato Gutema was involved in the construction sector and became well-known and respected in Ethiopia as GC1.
