    (A.A.U, 2024-09-20) Meron Admasu; Yohannes Workeaferahu (PhD)
    This thesis aims to examine the key constraints that affect the performance of the Ethiopian coffee supply chain especially on selected coffee exporters with high volume of export. This research also targeted revealing and examining the relevant factors that cause the supply chain performance to be effective in order to give a detailed background of the coffee supply chain system in Ethiopia. Scholars explore antecedents spanning strategic supplier relationships, customer interaction, capability development, physical infrastructure, logistics expenses, and information sharing. The method involves Descriptive analysis of the respondent’s demographic characteristics, use of prerequisite statistical techniques like Mean, standard deviations, Chi-square test, and Trends analysis for hypothesis testing and validity of the research findings, and Linear regression and correlation analysis of the study’s variables. The factors depicted above show areas of concern that were seen to significantly impact the coffee supply chain and may act as a guide to addressing challenges by the various stakeholders in endeavouring to make the coffee supply chain more efficient, cheaper, and better managed. Hence, the findings of the study enrich the existing academic body and also serve as a source of reference for policymakers, various stakeholders in the coffee industry, as well as the coffee exporters in their endeavour to increase the comparative advantage of Ethiopia in the global export of coffee.
