FairChain Moyee Coffee In the last few decades, most of the added value in the Global Coffee Chain moved away from the coffee producing countries to the coffee consuming countries. Value adding activities lowered from 20% to 2% in Ethiopia. The goal of the project partners is to introduce the FairChain principles to the coffee sector in Ethiopia and start the first fully certified (a.o. organic, ISO 26000, HACCP) local premium coffee roasting facility for export purposes in Ethiopia. The joint venture will be the first one to operate under the FairChain concept, which will guarantee that the profits are fairly distributed among the entire value chain. Farmers will be paid a 20% premium on top of the commodity stock exchange price. Besides smallholder coffee farmers will be trained in order to improve their performance in terms of using modern agro-techniques, quality improvement and higher yields. The coffee roasting facility will be located in Addis Ababa. Applicant of the project is Lampje Beheer B.V.. Partners are Moyee Coffee Ethiopia and Moyee Coffee Nederland B.V.. The partners will not set up a separate joint venture, as Moyee Coffee Ethiopia plc will execute the project. The present project will bring value adding activities in the coffee chain back in the coffee producing countries.Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)The project partners will set up a FairChain project. The project is all about chain responsibility: there will be no negative social and environmental impact in the supply chain. Moyee will guarantee that suppliers will obtain a fair price (+20% compared to actual market price) and will train and support local farmers in capacity building and increasing yields, quality and environmental performance.The project will be organic, ISO 26000 and HACCP certified. Besides the coffee will have a Fair Trade label.Impact•	Employment and working conditionsMoyee Ethiopia will pay their employees more than living wage. It will offer fixed contracts and provide for pensions, health insurance, paid sick leave, 20 vacation days, access to training programmes. As the company wants to comply with ISO and HACCP and intends to set the standard for FairChain personnel will be trained in work processes and workflows. This will strengthen their position on the labour market.Employees will be facilitated to organize themselves in employee associations or unions.•	Innovation / Transfer of knowledgeThe project is innovative on different aspects. The start of in-country processing and international sales of Ethiopian roasted coffee is innovative. With the FairChain principle, the project partners will target a new market in the Netherlands. The project intends to set an example for the sector to add more value in Ethiopia. As regards of the logistics the project will use better packaging methods and better logistics (Just-in-Time roasting) which will allow them to deliver the roasted coffee within a week from roasting to their customers. Moyee will also make use of improved EU proofed packaging. Partners will be the first exporter in Ethiopia being fully certified: organic, ISO 26000, HACCP. Besides the coffee will have a Fair Trade label.•	Chain effectsImpact on local suppliersAll green coffee beans will be purchased locally. Via a medium seized farm (40 ha) and via 100 out growers. The farm will be responsible for the out grower programme, to help them in increasing quality and yields. Farmers will get a 20% premium on top of the coffee price.Impact on local customers or consumersThere will be no impact on local customers or consumers as all coffee will be exported.•	Impact on the sectorPartners will cooperate with Esther Duflo’s Poverty Action Lab, for the design of social impact programmes and a code of conduct in the coffee sector. Moyee will share its acquainted experience and share knowledge about this.Partners will cooperate with several non-commercial parties, like the Coffee Export Association of Ethiopia, the Ethiopian Coffee Roasters Association, the ECX, University of Wageningen and Jimma and several NGOs.•	EnvironmentThe production process itself is clean and causes only limited emissions, pollution and waste. All equipment will be CE labelled and will be energy efficient. As the project will only purchase coffee from organic farms the environmental impact will be minimal. Partners will investigate whether the coffee husks can be used for biogas or other products. In cooperation with NGOs a model will be implemented to regenerate farmland and nature. It will be investigated how to make washing stations as sustainable as possible.•	Position of womenThe joint venture will employ at least 50% women, for both basic and medium/high positions.The joint venture will implement social impact programmes that will be oriented towards female entrepreneurship.•	Impact on food safetyThe project will indirectly contribute to an improved food security for farmers via the outgrower programme. The (ProClimate) model that will be applied by the project partners implies that monocultures will be avoided, which means that other food crops will be planted as well in the coffee plantations. Introduction of FairChain principles to the coffee sector in Ethiopia and start the first fully certified local premium coffee roasting facility producing which will export 96 tons of roasted coffee.
