Abstract

Semendo coffee is a major income source for agricultural households in the Semendo region. Agroforesty is commonly employed practice at numerous Semendo coffee plantations. Timber and Multipurpose Tree Species wildely cultivated to provide shade. This study examines Semendo coffee^s governance-enhancing development and collaboration methods. SWOT (strength, weakness, opportunities, threats) and AHP (analytic hierarchy process) analysis are used to determine the most suitable governance strategies and policy for Semendo coffee development. The data was gathered from key persons who possess expertise and serve as representatives for pertinent stakeholders and commercial entities throughout the Semendo coffee supply chain. SWOT analysis shows that the Strength-Opportunity (SO) strategy could improve Semendo coffee governance. High-quality coffee production, relevant party cooperation, and marketing network expansion are the proposed strategies. The AHP says mutual need drives partnership decision-making the most. Plasma-core partnerships are best for creating a strong sense of mutual need. Integration of the SO strategy with the core-plasma partnership is proposed to improve Semendo coffee governance. Agroforestry in Semendo coffee production can produce fruits and sequester carbon, reducing climate change. Agroforestry-based Semendo coffee management is expected to improve food supply, distribution, and consumption. This development is expected to maintain environmental integrity, notably in climate change mitigation.
