The Stumping Project

We are proud to be supporting the stumping project in 2022 and for the next 3 years through Falcon Specialty & Techno Serve.

Currently, the largest impediment to increased coffee productivity in Ethiopia is the lack of tree rejuvenation, also known as “stumping.”

Stumping coffee trees is the most critical step to improve yields and quality and is a prerequisite to achieving the impact of additional good agricultural practices (GAPs).

However, even though stumping a 25-year-old tree can generate yields equal to, or better than those of young trees, Ethiopian smallholder coffee farmers are reluctant to stump primarily due to the immediate, acute, and short-term loss of income for 1.5 years while their trees stems regrow.

Our contribution will help incentivise farmers to stump old trees and will help achieve 2 to 4 times more coffee cherries by the third year.

We will keep you posted with updates throughout the year & years to come.

Thank you for all of your continued support, without you, we wouldn’t be able to help support great projects like these!
