Spezial / Burundi

With its high altitudes, volcanic soil, and fantastic processing, Burundi has one of the best reputations from all of East Africa. Coffee is grown throughout Burundi, but most farms and co-operatives are in Buyenzi, Mumirwa, and Kirimiro in the northeast.

Migoti Coffee company is a specialty coffee producer based in Migoti Mountain, Burundi, 30 km from the centre of bustling Bujumbura.

A special focus is paid to supporting farmers with a long-term view. Investing in new crops for the coffee farmers to intercrop with their coffee trees, embarking on ambitious hydropower projects and education to improve quality and quantity in order to build a brighter future for their families and the next generation of Burundi coffee farmers. Migoti’s vision is to connect local coffee farmers with international buyers and roasters through quality coffee processing and transparent supply chains.

The washing station employs ten permanent employees, along with over two hundred and fifty seasonal workers, most of whom are women. They also reach out to farmers in order to provide education on the proper maintenance of coffee trees, which in turn contributes towards increasing crop yields and quality.

Enjoy!
