Let’s Recap: 2021/22 Harvest
The harvest this year started at the end of October and beginning of November in lower altitude areas and it is expected to end by the end of January in higher altitude areas. In West Arsi, due to a shortage of rainfall in early December, cherries matured much slower and the yield was not as high as expected.
In Guji and West Guji, on the other hand, the climate conditions have been really good. The harvest kept stable compared to last year. The second picking ended in February. Yirgacheffe and Gedeb also benefit from great climate conditions; good and consistent rainfall early in the season. All these regions benefit from a shortage of rainfall in November, which ensures some good volumes of coffee production.
In Bombe, tables were already full of cherry by mid-December and the harvest continued until the end of the month.
