Until 2005, all the coffee in Flores was dry-processed, blended and sold to exporters as Flores DP—the cherries were simply dried on the ground and the farmer would only receive 30 or 40 cents per pound for the stuff. Without any financial incentive, the quality of this coffee was extremely low. However, in 2005, with $40,000 from the ICCRI and spearheaded by a man named Sirup, two farmer groups (Fa Masa and Suka Maju) began processing the coffee using a new, fully-washed method. And 2 years later, 5 more farmer groups (Ateriji, Papataki, Papawiu, Mezamogo, and Wongawali) have decided to undertake wet-processing and all seven groups are now certified organic through the Control Union Certification. This specific group of cooperatives produces two different coffees—the Bajawa Ngura that is wet-hulled (Ngura means wet-hulled in the Bajawa language), and the AWP-1, which is fully-washed.
