The Democratic Republic of the Congo is located in Central Africa, which runs through the north-central part of the equator. The local forest cover is about 58.7%.

Suitable for growing coffee in Robusta; to the east is the volcanically active edge of the African graben, near Lake Keefe, which is about 1460 meters above sea level. The coffee beans in the Keefe producing area of the Congo get their name from Lake Keefe, which borders Rwanda.

Congo joined the East African Fine Coffee Association (Eastern Africa Fine Coffee Assosiation) in February 2010, becoming the 11th member of the organization, with a view to further improving its coffee quality and export volume.

Muungano Coffee Cooperative:

In Swahili, "Muungano" means & # 39; Unity & # 39, guiding farmers who are mainly used in Muungano coffee cooperatives. Batembo and Rwanda were originally divided by war in the eastern part of the Congo. Through cooperation, they work together again to create a better future for their families. From 350 founding members in 2009, the cooperative has grown to more than 4000 members in 2014, and Muungano farmers are committed to producing high-end specialty washed Arabica coffee. They invest in coffee nurseries and set up community-level cleaning stations; by planting new saplings and strictly harvesting coffee refurbished land. Muungano, which has received extensive training in cupping skills and the common language of the professional coffee market, opened two new cleaning stations in 2014.
