Policies

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 Ilibabur coffee supplied through AFAM International DMCC is sourced and exported by AMG Coffee Ethiopia, which operates coordinated washing, cleaning, grading, and export preparation systems within Ethiopia. Coffee sourcing is carried out through organized smallholder networks and cooperative structures across the Ilibabur zone, supported by ECX-registered supply channels where applicable. Primary processing is performed close to origin, while final grading, moisture control, and export calibration are completed at dedicated facilities in Addis Ababa. Supporting agricultural processing infrastructure is maintained in Adama, approximately 100 km from the capital. The export system supports annual handling capacity of up to 28,800 metric tons, enabling predictable supply, shipment continuity, and contract stability for wholesale buyers.

Ilibabur Origin – Environmental Context & Cup Behaviour

The Ilibabur (Ilubabor) zone is located in western Ethiopia and represents a transitional coffee-growing area between dense forest regions and open agricultural highlands. The region experiences consistent rainfall, moderate temperatures, and natural shade from mixed vegetation. Coffee farms in Ilibabur are primarily smallholder-managed, with cultivation practices that prioritize crop resilience and steady yields. These conditions encourage even cherry ripening and moderate bean density rather than extreme flavour concentration. In the cup, Ilibabur coffee typically shows soft sweetness, light cocoa and cereal tones, low to medium acidity, and a clean, rounded finish. The profile is intentionally approachable, avoiding sharp brightness or heavy weight, which makes it suitable for high-volume service and repeat consumption.
