Faustin Ribalimana
This specific lot comes from one producer named Faustin Ribalimana. He is a 57-year-old coffee farmer, who has been a pioneering member of the cooperative since its inception. Living just 200 meters from the cooperative’s headquarters, has allowed him to elevate his farm into a model of success. Faustin benefits greatly from convenient access to training sessions, advisory visits, and other resources, which has 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.
