Empowering Burundi Coffee sector

Burundi, blessed with ideal coffee farming conditions, relies heavily on agriculture, with over 30% of its GDP tied to this sector. However, challenges such as declining interest in coffee farming, poor revenue distribution, and rural exodus threaten its coffee industry. To revitalize this vital sector, we propose establishing new washing stations and fostering youth participation through improved relationships along the value chain and accessible financing. By actively engaging young farmers and embracing innovative practices, we can create a sustainable and profitable coffee sector in Burundi.
