Burundian coffee:

Burundi is a small country member of the East African Community (EAC) and the Great Lakes region (GLA) countries.

Coffee is a key and major crop in Burundi. Coffee farmers, coffee merchants, the government and others profit from coffee. Most Burundians live directly or indirectly on coffee.

The National Bank of Burundi (BRB) receives 40 per cent of foreign exchange from coffee exports. 40% of Burundians live on coffee.

Arabica coffee is widely known around the world because of its fruity and fragrant taste.

Coffee is grown in almost all provinces, but Kayanza,Ngozi,Muyinga and Kirundo are one of the best provinces for growing quality coffee. The soil in these provinces is fertile, and the average water level of Lake Tanganyika coffee is between 1700 and 1950 meters above sea level.

The policy of the Government of Burundi is to produce high-quality coffee. According to coffee experts, coffee consumers are more interested in quality than quantity. The National Coffee Administration (ARFIC) is trying to dissuade or dissuade "washed coffee".

Coffee liberalization has begun since 2008 and both the public and private sectors are now doing business to improve quality. Liberalization creates and brings the concept of competition. Even though coffee has been liberalized, the government still supervises, supervises and regulates the coffee industry through its branch called ARFIC (Burundian Coffee Authority). ARFIC monitors, supervises and manages coffee from farm to export.

Coffee prices have fallen in the last five years, which has discouraged some farmers from growing coffee.

They want to eliminate coffee plantations and replace coffee trees with other crops, but the government has not and will not stop raising farmers' awareness of the importance of coffee. Destroying coffee fields or plantations is like destroying "Burundian culture". Coffee and drums are important things in Burundian culture. There is a connection between these two elements (coffee and drum). Burundi is an international drum of coffee quality and dance culture.

Roasted coffee is named "NGOMA coffee", which means drum.

The government is developing an important strategy to increase coffee productivity (Prestige Cup and Excellence Cup) by encouraging washing machine owners to provide incentives and incentives to farmers who produce and supply more and better coffee during the competition.
