Amaya is one of the woredas in the Oromia Region of Ethiopia. Part of the Southwest Shewa Zone, Amaya is bordered on the south by the Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples Region, on the west and north by West Shewa Zone, on the northeast by Wonchi, and on the east by Walisona Goro. The major town in Amaya is Gindo.
Although coffee is an important cash crop of this woreda, less than 20 square kilometers are planted with this crop.[1]
