According to the President of the Rwandan Coffee processing and Export Association (CEPAR), coffee is a key factor in achieving sustainable development in the country.

CEPAR was established in 2010 to support coffee production through the establishment of a fertilizer fund initially managed and implemented by the National Agricultural Export Commission (NAEB). CEPAR has a mission to promote coffee products nationwide and even exports 75 per cent of the coffee produced in Rwanda. The 20 members of the association will first buy fertilizer and then distribute it to coffee farmers, which can help coffee farmers increase coffee production.

Results achieved by ●

Pierre Munyura Kamere (General Manager of Mibirizi Coffee andFood Stuffs) pointed out that the first achievement of CEPAR is that it has become an entity recognized by the government and private sector federation. Another achievement is the establishment of a fertilizer fund, before which NAEB was responsible for the purchase and distribution of fertilizers. This is challenging because farmers may not be able to pay for fertilizer on time, and flaws in the government bureaucracy can delay time. The process has been much more efficient since CEPAR took over the purchase task last August.

The economy and society of Rwanda are constantly developing, but the growth of rural and urban areas is not synchronized, and coffee is one of the important factors to promote balanced economic growth.

● increases Productivity

Kenya produces far more coffee per tree than Rwanda, so Munyura believes there is a lot of room for coffee growth in Rwanda. Rwanda's coffee exports far outweigh its domestic consumption. Currently, 98% of Rwanda's coffee is exported, while domestic consumption is only 2%. Although they have made a lot of efforts to promote their coffee beans, there is still great competition in the international market.

Challenges facing ●

One of the main challenges facing coffee processors and exporters is the instability of the international market. Price fluctuations affect sales as well as the plans of coffee farmers and exporters.

Munyura pointed out that increasing the coffee consumption rate of the Rwandan people is the only way to meet this challenge. He cites Ethiopia, Brazil and Colombia, where domestic consumption of coffee exceeds 50 per cent of total production.

Munyura added: "increasing coffee production in Rwanda is one of the effective ways to reduce coffee prices. I think Rwanda's coffee production can double in two to three years. " He encouraged the people of Rwanda to improve the professionalism of coffee cultivation and produce high-quality coffee beans.
