Coffee in Ethiopia
Legend has it that coffee was discovered in Ethiopia by a goat herder named Kaldi in the 9th century. He noticed that his goats became lively and energetic after consuming red berries from a certain plant. He tried them himself and experienced a similar burst of energy. This discovery led to the cultivation of coffee plants and the spread of coffee drinking traditions.
Today, Ethiopia is one of the world's major coffee producers and exporters. Coffee is a crucial component of the country's economy, supporting millions of farmers and workers involved in its cultivation, processing, and trade.
