Rwanda Inzovu
Ruanda Inzovu is grown by smallholder farmers in various coffee-growing regions across the country. Most of them manage plots with fewer than 300 trees and deliver their coffee cherries to nearby washing stations, which play a vital role in the coffee ecosystem by providing farmers with specialized agronomic training.
This training focuses on improving farming practices with the goal of
achieving higher-quality beans and increasing yields. This not only
strengthens producers’ livelihoods but also contributes
significantly to the quality and reputation of Rwandan coffee.
The harvested cherries are transported to the washing station, where they undergo careful manual sorting and a flotation process to separate unripe or defective fruit. They are then pulped using Disc and Eco Pulper machines, washed, and spread out on raised African drying beds, where they remain
for 10 to 14 days to dry, depending on weather conditions.
