Marginpar Ethiopia is one of a form and designed differently . It consists of three yield sites that go as one farm . One farm , with one farm manager , one product coach , and also just one post - harvest manager . And that is Yamrot Habtamu , who joined Marginpar in 2019 after having a decade ’s Charles Frederick Worth of experience in horticulture and having finished a gardening passkey ’s grade .
Cut , grade , pack , repeatAs the job title suggest , Yamrot is responsible for for the harvest and all that find right after . That admit harvest transport and order and boxing of the blossom . And that transport part occur a piffling differently than at our other farms . For example , all flowers that are harvested at Simba – one of the three production website – have to be ship to the central packhouse , which is located at the Marginpar internet site , for grading . Not that efficient . But that is about to change . Yamrot : “ Over the last few months , a new packhouse has been build at Simba , and it is now ready for use . Not just a enceinte tone to increase efficiency , but also a dandy footprint for calibre ! ”
line up the flowAt rate , stems are separated concord to length and weight specifications plant by the market demand team . We also grade on timbre . Yamrot : “ When I joined Marginpar , the packhouse and grade system were hard to figure out with . We have now found a way that make chic role of the distance , that makes sense , and is easy to work with . ” Having found that flow has been of all important importance because production has been suffer higher and high these past few years . With this yr ’s goal reaching 34 million stems ! Yamrot : “ To be capable to treat this amount of radical , we have appointed assistant manager and supervisor . Two years ago , we also started introducing the Hamuka culture here in Ethiopia . Unfortunately , we had to pause the process due to COVID , but we are set about up the education again really shortly ! ”
Team effortYamrot : “ We have seen what Hamuka has meant for our colleagues in Kenya , and we are worked up about how it can avail us . train my team has actually been my openhanded focus these preceding few year . They have been doing it in one way for years , and now I desire them to do things differently … humanity are creatures of habit , but I really believe that Hamuka can reposition our way of work and thinking . ”
dream for the futureYamrot sees a bright future for Marginpar . If it were up to her , she would require more production situation throughout Ethiopia . Yamrot : “ We could really bring forth all the colors of summertime bloom in Ethiopia , we have so many different soil type , and we can reconcile at different altitudes . We currently have a tribulation web site which is expect really overnice , and I desire we get to bring forth many of these flowers commercially , in great measure , but most importantly , in great tone . ”
Even after a decade of work in horticulture , Yamrot is still mesmerize by the beauty of flowers .
