Rwanda Red Bourbon-Musasa Cooperative

Rwanda is located in the heart of the interior of Africa. Coffee was introduced by German missionaries in 1904. Since 1930, because coffee is the only income-earning crop for rural farmers, cultivation has flourished. Whether it is Arabica harvested in March-June or Robusta in May-June, government encouragement is actually an order to produce low-quality, high-yield coffee. Even if poor quality helped the economy at the time, as it was one of the few crops that could earn cash, the policy of continuing to promote low-quality exports was bound to change with the global competition for coffee.

The 1994 genocide claimed 500000 lives, almost wiped out the knowledge and technology of cultivation, and the price of coffee fell sharply around the world, making the industry even worse.

Rwanda is now on the rise again to rebuild its infrastructure at a steady pace, most notably the Joint strengthening Rwanda Agricultural Partnership Program (PEARL), which is mainly to help Rwanda rebuild agricultural institutions, production capacity and nurture talents to help small farmers do business directly with market buyers. The drill of the "Golden Bean Competition", followed by the first Rwanda COE coffee competition in 2008, drew more buyers' attention to the good beans produced in Rwanda.

The Musasa Cooperative Cooperative (Musasha), whose 1815 members are distributed in the mountains of 1500-2000 meters in the north-west, are small farmers with less than 1 hectare of 500 trees, set up their own washing plant in 2003 with the aim of improving the chances of selling their crops to international buyers and getting good prices. A number of members won the finals in the Rwanda COE Coffee Competition in 2008, 2010 and 2011, respectively, and the income earned was mainly spent on children's education, health care and investment in community construction.
