OUR STORY

Founded in 2007 by Dr. Mitslal Kifleyesus-Matschie, Ecopia Group has transformed from a small Addis Ababa initiative into Ethiopia's premier social enterprise. We've created an innovative model that:

  • Preserves 3,000-year-old agricultural traditions

  • Empowers 11,000+ smallholder farmers (60% women)

  • Delivers premium organic products to global markets

  • Reinvents ethical commerce through complete transparency
