The image is communicating an important idea in coffee agriculture: the role of the soil microbiome in determining coffee quality.

1. What is the soil microbiome?

The soil microbiome refers to the community of microscopic living organisms in the soil, such as:
• Bacteria
• Fungi
• Protozoa
• Nematodes
• Actinomycetes

These microorganisms live around the plant roots in what scientists call the Rhizosphere.

2. How does it affect coffee quality?

Healthy soil microorganisms help coffee plants in several ways:

1️⃣ Nutrient availability
Microbes break down organic matter and convert nutrients into forms that coffee plants can absorb, such as:
• Nitrogen
• Phosphorus
• Potassium
• Micronutrients

2️⃣ Root health
Beneficial fungi like Mycorrhiza attach to coffee roots and:
• Increase nutrient uptake
• Improve water absorption
• Strengthen plant growth

3️⃣ Flavor development
When a coffee plant grows in healthy living soil:
• It absorbs balanced nutrients
• The cherries develop better sugars and acids
This influences cup quality, aroma, sweetness, and complexity.

4️⃣ Disease protection
Some microbes protect the plant from harmful pathogens that cause root diseases.

3. Why the image says “90% of coffee quality”

The 90% number is more of a simplified claim, not an exact scientific measurement. But the idea is correct:

A large part of coffee quality comes from:
• Soil health
• Microbial activity
• Nutrient balance
• Farm ecosystem

These factors influence the genetics of the coffee variety such as Coffea arabica, and how the cherries develop.

4. In coffee farming practice

Farmers improve soil microbiomes by:
• Adding compost
• Using organic fertilizers
• Keeping shade trees
• Avoiding excessive chemical inputs
• Using mulch and cover crops

5. Why this matters for Ethiopian coffee

In places like Bale, Harena Forest, and other highlands of Ethiopia, the natural forest ecosystem creates very rich soil microbiomes, which is one reason Ethiopian coffee often has exceptional flavor complexity.

Simple summary: The image shows that tiny microorganisms in the soil play a huge role in the health of coffee trees and the flavor of coffee beans. Healthy soil = better coffee.

How the question should be seen

The participant raised a legitimate market and policy question, not a criticism. Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee and a major producer, yet its domestic coffee prices often move independently of the international (ICE / C-market) price, sometimes even in the opposite direction. Asking why reflects genuine concern about market transparency, competitiveness, and sustainability.

Why the question makes sense

1. Coffee is globally traded, but locally structured
While coffee is the second most traded commodity globally, Ethiopia’s coffee sector has unique characteristics smallholder dominance, quality differentiation, and strong domestic consumption which can weaken direct linkage to international prices.

2. Supply demand imbalance at home
Strong local demand, limited exportable supply, hoarding, and competition between exporters and local buyers can push local prices upward even when global prices fall.

3. Quality vs. commodity pricing
Ethiopian coffee is often sold as specialty or origin coffee, where premiums are applied. These premiums may rise despite a falling commodity market.

4. Market structure and regulation
Government policies, ECX mechanisms, foreign-currency pressures, and regulatory interventions can disconnect domestic prices from international benchmarks.

5. Farmer protection vs. exporter pressure
Higher local prices may protect farmers in the short term but create challenges for exporters trying to compete internationally.

How to interpret the intent of the question

The question reflects:

• Concern for export competitiveness
• Desire for price predictability and transparency
• Interest in aligning Ethiopia with global market practices
• Recognition of coffee as a strategic national asset

Overall this was a constructive, policy level question that encourages deeper discussion on:

• Price formation mechanisms
• Balance between farmer welfare and export competitiveness
• Ethiopia’s positioning between commodity coffee and specialty markets

It’s the kind of question that helps move the sector forward not confrontational, but essential.

Indian PM welcomed by Ethiopian traditional coffee ceremony at Addis Ababa International Airport by Ethiopian PM. In Ethiopia, coffee is not just a drink it is dialogue, respect, and trust. Welcoming a world leader with coffee signals openness and friendship before words are exchanged.

The coffee ceremony turns culture into diplomacy, showing that heritage can be a diplomatic tool as powerful as formal protocols or speeches.

Ethiopian coffee travels worldwide; when served to global leaders, it becomes an ambassador of national identity, history, and pride.
