He worked his way up through the ranks, washing coffee in the channels, then managing a station opened by an outside investor in Nensebo. When that owner went bankrupt, Tariku and 17 colleagues formed a company and opened a new washing station together. He eventually opened a mill in Arsi to supply the international market, and once that operation was stable, returned to Bombe to build another station. At each of his sites, Tariku pays a premium over local prices for ripe red cherry and works hard to incentivize farmers to deliver cherry to his washing stations each year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bombe station sits in Nensebo woreda in the SNNPR (Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples) region, drawing cherry from 500 registered smallholder outgrowers across elevations of 2000–2200 masl. Nensebo is a newer coffee-growing area with an average farm size of two hectares, planted with a mix of local varieties (primarily 74158, 74110, and 74112) alongside wild varietals from the neighboring forests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rogue Wave","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44377386975298,"sku":null,"price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2464\/3811\/files\/AE81DCF9-E421-4EE0-AA3F-F8CDEA9F6924.png?v=1784659609","url":"https:\/\/dayglow.coffee\/products\/tariku-kare-1","provider":"Dayglow Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
