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 Benchimaji coffee supplied through AFAM International DMCC is sourced and exported by AMG Coffee Ethiopia, which operates coordinated washing, cleaning, grading, and export preparation systems across Ethiopia. Coffee is sourced from large smallholder networks and cooperative structures across the Benchimaji zone, with aggregation supported through regulated supply channels, including the Ethiopian Commodity Exchange (ECX). Primary processing is completed near origin, followed by final moisture stabilization, grading, and defect control at export facilities in Addis Ababa. Additional 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 continuity of supply, contract scalability, and predictable shipment scheduling for bulk buyers.

Benchimaji Origin – Production Context & Coffee Behaviour

The Benchimaji zone is located in southwestern Ethiopia and is characterized by broad cultivation areas, moderate to high rainfall, and extended harvest cycles. Unlike compact highland or estate-focused regions, Benchimaji supports large-area coffee farming, allowing consistent volume generation across seasons. Coffee cultivation in Benchimaji is primarily smallholder-based but organized at scale, with farms distributed across wide terrain. This production structure results in coffees with uniform bean size ranges, predictable moisture behaviour, and reliable roast development, rather than extreme flavour expression. In the cup, Benchimaji coffee typically delivers soft sweetness, grain and cocoa undertones, low to medium acidity, and a clean, neutral finish. The profile is intentionally adaptable, making it suitable for espresso blends, medium-to-dark roast programs, and institutional brewing environments where consistency is critical.
