Ubhontshisi wekhofi wase-Ethiopia

I-Ethiopia ibusiswe ngezimo zemvelo ezifanele ukutshala zonke izinhlobo zekhofi ongazicabanga.Njengesitshalo sasezintabeni, ubhontshisi wekhofi wase-Ethiopia utshalwa ikakhulukazi ezindaweni ezinobude obungamamitha ayi-1100-2300 ngaphezu kolwandle, ezisatshalaliswa cishe eningizimu ye-Ethiopia.Inhlabathi ejulile, inhlabathi evundiswe kahle, inhlabathi ene-acidic kancane, inhlabathi ebomvu, nomhlabathi othambile futhi ovundiwe kufanelekile ukutshala ubhontshisi wekhofi ngoba le nhlabathi inomsoco futhi ine-humus eyanele.

Imvula isatshalaliswa ngokulinganayo phakathi nenkathi yemvula eyizinyanga ezingu-7;phakathi nomjikelezo wokukhula kwezitshalo, izithelo zikhula zisuka ekuqhakazeni kuye ekutheleleni futhi isilimo sikhula ngo-900-2700 mm ngonyaka, kuyilapho amazinga okushisa eshintshashintsha ebangeni lika-15 degrees Celsius kuya ku-24 degrees Celsius phakathi nomjikelezo wokukhula.Inani elikhulu lokukhiqizwa kwekhofi (95%) lenziwa abanikazi bamasheya abancane, ngesivuno esimaphakathi samakhilogremu angama-561 ehektheleni.Sekungamakhulu eminyaka, ababambiqhaza abancane emapulazini ekhofi ase-Ethiopia bekhiqiza izinhlobo zekhofi ezisezingeni eliphezulu.

Imfihlo yokukhiqiza ikhofi eliphezulu ukuthi abalimi bekhofi baye bahlakulela isiko lekhofi endaweni efanelekile ngokufunda ngokuphindaphindiwe inqubo yokukhulisa ikhofi ezizukulwaneni ezimbalwa.Lokhu ikakhulukazi kuhlanganisa indlela yokulima yokusebenzisa umanyolo wemvelo, ukukha ikhofi elibomvu nelihle kakhulu.Izithelo ezivuthwe ngokugcwele kanye nokucubungula izithelo endaweni ehlanzekile.Umehluko wekhwalithi, izici zemvelo kanye nezinhlobo zekhofi yase-Ethiopia kungenxa yokuhluka "kubude", "isifunda", "indawo" ngisho nohlobo lomhlaba.Amabhontshisi ekhofi ase-Ethiopia ahlukile ngenxa yezici zawo zemvelo, ezihlanganisa ubukhulu, ukuma, i-asidi, ikhwalithi, ukunambitheka kanye nephunga.Lezi zici zinikeza ikhofi yase-Ethiopia izimfanelo zemvelo eziyingqayizivele.Ngaphansi kwezimo ezijwayelekile, i-Ethiopia ihlala isebenza “njengesuphamakethe yekhofi” ukuze amakhasimende akhethe izinhlobo zekhofi azithandayo.

Ingqikithi yokukhiqizwa kwekhofi yonyaka e-Ethiopia ngamathani angu-200,000 kuya kwangu-250,000.Namuhla, i-Ethiopia isingelinye labakhiqizi abakhulu bekhofi emhlabeni, ikleliswe endaweni ye-14 emhlabeni neyesine e-Afrika.I-Ethiopia ine-flavour ehlukene ehlukile futhi ehlukile kwamanye, ihlinzeka amakhasimende emhlabeni jikelele ngezinketho eziningi zokunambitha.Ezindaweni eziphakeme eziseningizimu-ntshonalanga ye-Ethiopia, i-Kaffa, i-Sheka, i-Gera, i-Limu ne-Yayu i-coffee ecosystem yehlathi ibhekwa njenge-Arabica.Ikhaya lekhofi.Lezi zindawo zemvelo zamahlathi nazo ziyikhaya lezinhlobonhlobo zezitshalo zokwelapha, izilwane zasendle nezinhlobo ezisengozini yokushabalala.Izintaba ezisentshonalanga ye-Ethiopia ziye zazala izinhlobo ezintsha zekhofi ezimelana nezifo zezithelo zekhofi noma ukugqwala kwamaqabunga.I-Ethiopia iyikhaya lezinhlobonhlobo zekhofi ezidume umhlaba wonke.
