THE STORY FROM THE PRODUCER Ato Dukale was born near Bensa, in the Sidama region, where his parents already had a coffee farm. Very young, he began to engage in small businesses in the region, such as cane sugar. But soon his interest completely turned to coffee. He traveled extensively in his native region to collect a few bags from different Sidama farmers. At the end of the 1980s he built a first washing station in Daye Bensa, which he called “Awraja and his family. Awraja was the name of the department where he lived young, a name used under the Derg but which has since disappeared. It was especially the nickname of Ato Dukale at the time when he was a famous volleyball player and he traveled the country with his team, under the colors of his district: Bensa Awraja! Since then, its activity has prospered because the company Dukale Wakayo Dakola currently has 16 collection centers in the Sidama and Yirgacheffe regions. It was taken over by the sons of Ato Dukale who, with their father, put their rigor into producing good quality coffees.
