Located in Gedeo zone of the Gedeb district, Banko Dadatu is one of the finest coffee producing areas within the famous Gedeb Woreda. Known for its dense layered semi-forest and garden vegetation structure encompassing false banana trees as well as shade grown coffee trees, Halo is a great example of best coffee growing agro-ecology. Mitiku Alemayehu built his wet mill in 2019 with the hope of reaching out to purchasing exclusively red cherries from the nearby farmers in the Banko Dadatu village. His ambition became a reality after completion of the project. Mitiku is a native of the Gedeb town; he started his journey to coffee industry 12 years ago and still describes it as a success built on strong foundation of relationships with the community.
