Wholesale and export orders placed with AFAM International are confirmed upon mutual agreement of product specifications, quantity, pricing, and shipping terms. All wholesale products supplied under AFAM are processed, packed, and dispatched from Ethiopia through AMG Coffee’s certified facilities under direct dealership authorization.

Wholesale order cancellations are accepted only before production scheduling or logistics allocation. Once processing, packing, or export documentation has commenced, cancellations are not permitted due to supply chain commitments and international shipping arrangements.

Refunds for wholesale and export coffee orders are considered only in the event of verified company-side quality defects, documentation errors, or shipment discrepancies. No refunds are issued for buyer preference changes, market conditions, or transit delays beyond carrier control. Where applicable, refunds are processed via bank transfer within a maximum of 10 working days following claim approval.

Processing & Export Infrastructure

All Kochere coffee supplied through AFAM International DMCC is sourced and exported by AMG Coffee Ethiopia, which operates export-grade washing stations, dry mills, and quality control systems within Ethiopia. Coffee is sourced from organized smallholder farmers and cooperative washing stations within the Kochere–Yirgacheffe belt. Wet processing, fermentation control, and density grading are carried out at origin-level facilities, followed by final cleaning, defect sorting, and export preparation at dedicated processing centers in Addis Ababa. Supporting agricultural infrastructure is maintained in Adama, approximately 100 km from the capital. The export system supports up to 28,800 metric tons per annum, enabling reliable lot separation, contract fulfillment, and long-term wholesale supply.

About the Kochere Origin & Coffee Characteristics

Kochere is a high-altitude district within the Yirgacheffe growing zone of southern Ethiopia, internationally recognized for producing some of the cleanest washed Arabica coffees in the country. Farms typically sit between 1,800 and 2,100 meters, where cooler temperatures and extended cherry maturation enhance acidity definition and aromatic clarity. Coffee cultivation in Kochere is dominated by smallholder farmers using traditional wet-processing methods. Cherries are hand-picked and processed at centralized washing stations, resulting in coffees with exceptional cleanliness, precise flavour separation, and consistent cup structure. Kochere coffee is widely characterized by bright citrus acidity, white-floral aromatics, bergamot and lemon notes, and a light, tea-like body. The flavour profile prioritizes elegance, transparency, and finish length rather than weight or fruit intensity.
