Our Production Potential
Jiratamo maintains 420 hectares of land together with out-grower farmers with a potential 400 hectares of additional land available to expand in the future. Jiratamo maintains its own seedling production nursery sites where we carefully select seeds from wild-grown mother trees.
This allows us to maintain the inherent quality of the coffee and thereby continuing genetic rejuvenation from the wild-grown mother coffee trees. Currently, we are producing 400 – 450 tons of organic coffee per annum from young, high-quality coffee trees. In the future when the farm reaches its full potential we will produce up to 10-12 thousand tons per annum.

Do you feel worried? Of course, not our experts will take good care of your plants. Upon return, you will savor and enjoy the flavors of your own coffee.
If you are unable to come, we will send your organic coffee to your home. In return, you continue to advocate for an organic and sustainable coffee production system.
