Organic Rwanda Maraba Fair Trade
The benefits of fair trade are evident in the steep hills of the Maraba district in rural Rwanda. In this traditional coffee growing area 1500 people receive an income from their involvement in the Abahuzamugambi Co-operative which started in 1999. These include people involved in growing, washing, drying, pulping and sorting, and packing the beans. At the core of the co-operative are 650 smallholder farmers, some of whom are widows and orphans of the 1994 genocide. Seldom commercially grown today, the trees produce a lower yield compared to many modern varieties, but the taste, according to connoisseurs is “smooth with a sweet fruity nature and rich full body”. This makes the beans eminently suitable for the gourmet coffee market.
