Coffee Monitor: Ethiopia

Independent evidence on Ethiopia's coffee economy · Seattle, Washington

Corrections

A site that asks institutions to show their working has to show its own.

This page exists before there is anything on it. That is deliberate. A corrections policy written after the first mistake is a defence. A corrections policy written before the first mistake is a standard.

The policy

Version 1 · 12 July 2026
  • Corrections are made in public. The original text is struck rather than deleted. Anyone who read the wrong version can see exactly what they read and exactly what changed.
  • The correction is credited. Whoever supplied it is named, unless they ask not to be. Institutions that correct the record are named as a matter of course, and being right in public is worth something.
  • A single retrievable citation moves any row of the coverage index. Not a rebuttal, not a statement, not a phone call. A publication a third party can find and cite.
  • Substantive corrections are logged here. Typographical fixes are not, and pretending otherwise would just bury the real ones.
  • Failure is reported. If a collection effort produces nothing usable, that is published, with the reasons. A monitor that only reports its successes is not a monitor.

The log

Nothing corrected yet

No corrections have been made. This site launched recently and has had few opportunities to be wrong. That will change, and when it does the record of it will be here rather than quietly absent.

If you have found an error, or a published source that contradicts a row of the coverage index or an entry in The Record, write to wondwossen.mezlekia@coffeemonitor.com. Include the citation. That is the whole requirement.

To officials at ECTA, the National Bank, and the Ministry of Agriculture

If a figure on this site is marked as having no public account and you can point to one, send it and the row changes the same week, with the correction credited to your institution by name. That is not a rhetorical offer. Nothing would improve this site faster than being proven wrong about what Ethiopia publishes.
