This is Ardent
Before Ardent Coffee Export was officially established in 2017, its story had already begun in the heart of our founder, Ashenafi Argaw. Born and raised in Sidama, Ashenafi brings over two decades of international experience to bridge the gap between small farmers and global markets. We are committed to creating value for coffee farmers, delivering excellence to customers, and transforming lives through sustainable business and meaningful social impact.
