The project will include training 100 local developers to use blockchain technology and they will also be trained in the Haskell programming language.
This is where blockchain technology has the potential to change the game for rural farmers and the Ethiopian coffee industry as a whole.
Blockchain technology has the power to change supply chains across all industries, but in developing nations such as Ethiopia, it will hopefully help local farmers see an increased return on their hard labor.
"In Ethiopia, we have been working on the possibility of adopting blockchain for the marketing of agricultural products, especially for coffee."
Blockchain technology is being explored by a number of different countries in Africa with many people believing that it will help the countries that have long suffered financial instability and corruption.
In Kenya, they are hoping to use the technology to help verify land ownership and the government of Uganda is planning to use blockchain technology to improve the efficiency in public service delivery.
