□ Burundi is a small landlocked country located at the intersection of Central and East Africa and the watershed between the Nile and Congo rivers, so it is known as the Heart of Africa. In this country, like most East African coffee-producing countries, there is no conceptual "manor". Instead, small coffee farmers send ripe coffee fruits directly to the government-built small water washing plant CWS (Coffee Wash Station) for unified treatment. The Lujiabao processing plant was built in 1980 with funding from the World Bank. "Rugabo" means "strong man" in the traditional local language.

The coffee washing plant (CWS) in Burundi is managed by SOGESTAL (Societe de Gestion des Stations de Lavage) and has seven treatment plants, including Coprotra, Kayanza, Kirimiro, Muyinga, Mumirwa, Ngozi and Sonicoff. The so-called SOGESTAL is a cooperation model promoted by the Burundian government and coffee workers to help local coffee farmers, provide the equipment they need, improve coffee productivity, and set up washing stations for proper processing of raw beans to produce high-quality coffee while helping local communities develop.
