Coffee farming is a traditional industry in Rwanda. Rwanda is one of the least visited countries in the world, with 90% mainly agriculture and animal husbandry.

In 1904, German missionaries introduced bourbon trees from Guatemala and began to export them in 1917. Through the colonial trade policy, farmers everywhere were required to plant 70 coffee trees, thus creating the history of coffee production in Rwanda.

Unlike other coffee-producing countries, Rwanda still does not have large-scale estates, but coffee is grown by 500000 small-scale farmers.

It is mainly in the form of cooperatives. The planting area is as high as 33000 hectares and there are as many as 80 million coffee trees. In the 1990s, coffee became Rwanda's most important export.
