Arkena Coffee Market is a tech startup that is engaged heavily in the coffee sector. Our current focus lies with supporting ‘exporting’ small holder coffee producers with the aim to develop Ethiopia’s largest and most reliable marketplace for sustainable, traceable, and transparent smallholder coffee.
We are designing a marketplace to promote smallholder coffee and have a service delivery model to streamline the export process, reduce inefficiencies, and prevent mishaps. Through this we hope to create an environment where small holders consistently receive higher returns for their coffee.
We believe that with better margins for small holders and their agri-businesses, they can become stronger community leaders, invest back into local businesses and their communities, and become a driving force for sustainable and lasting development.
