Established in 2012, the Guduba Wet Mill is located near the Benti Nenka village in the Hambela Wamena district of the Guji zone. This station encourages farmers to deliver consistently ripe cherries in order to yield a cleaner and more uniform final cup. More than 525 farmers contribute their cherries to this station. Most small-holder producers farm about 1 to 2 hectares at the truly incredible heights of 1900 to 2170 MASL. Farming methods in Guji remain largely traditional. Guji farmers typically intercrop their coffee plants with other food crops. This method is common among smallholders because it maximizes land use and provides food for their families. In addition to remaining traditionally intercropped most farms are also traditional and organic by default. Farmers in Guji typically use very few if any fertilizers or pesticides. Most farm work is done manually and very few tasks are mechanized, even during processing.
