Guoke Cooperative is located in the town of Tomba, Tambo District, at an altitude of 1800 Murmur2100 meters above sea level. In Rwanda, coffee cultivation was almost abandoned due to early political reasons, but it was also because of this that it did not catch on with the trend of breed improvement. So native Arabica species can be found everywhere in Rwanda (the original species are usually much better than the improved varieties). Although there are good varieties and high-altitude planting environment, if there is no good management, good post-processing equipment, farmers' lack of education, the purchase price is too low, which is the reason for the failure of many cooperatives. Without the concept of sustainable management, you can't really achieve it-- they've done it, and their quality is getting better and their prices are cheaper than in previous years.
