Elie Nzabakunda
This specific lot comes from one producer, Elie Nzabakunda. He is a 44-year-old farmer from Baliza Cell in Ruli Sector, is a dedicated and thriving member of the Dukunde Kawa Musasa Cooperative. Living close to the cooperative’s office, Elie has benefited significantly from its support, much like his fellow farmer Faustin. His proximity to the cooperative has given him easy access to training sessions, advisory visits, and resources, all of which have strengthened his coffee farming practices over the years.

Lying almost in the centre of the Africa, Rwanda is a fertile, mountainous, and compact nation, roughly half the size of Scotland and smaller than most US states. Officially Africa’s most densely populated country, it has been inhabited since the Iron Age, and its seemingly endless terraced hills are scattered with dwellings. The 11 million strong population is still largely rural, and around 90 percent of Rwandans are engaged in agriculture of some kind, though much of this is subsistence farming.
