Burundian coffee producing area

Burundi is located in central Africa with a pleasant climate. Arabica coffee beans grown in the mountains of north-central Africa are of high quality and have won first prize and sixth place respectively in the coffee quality rating of Southeast African countries and the Paris Coffee Fair. According to the annual production of coffee beans in this country, the annual output is between 8000 and 35,000 tons, which is mainly sold to the European markets of Switzerland, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Austria and so on.

Burundi (formerly known as Urundi) has the most diverse and successful coffee industry in the world and has its own characteristics.

Burundian coffee was introduced by Belgian colonists in 1930 and is now grown only on small farms. Unfortunately, many of these farms are on the border with war-torn Rwanda, putting pressure on coffee production. Almost all coffee produced in Burundi is Arabian coffee beans, while coffee trees in Ngozi are planted at an altitude of more than 1200 meters. Burundian coffee has a rich aroma and excellent acidity, and most of its products are exported to the United States, Germany, Finland and Japan.

Starbucks has its eye on Burundian coffee

Starbucks of the United States, the world's largest coffee retailer, said a few days ago that it would buy more coffee from Burundi. Industry insiders said that Starbucks' move is conducive to the economic development of Burundi.

The East African newspaper reported on the 8th that in order to help Burundi integrate into the world coffee market as soon as possible, Starbucks has funded officials of the Burundian Coffee Management Commission to study abroad, and Starbucks executives will also visit Burundi this month to discuss cooperation with relevant parties.

Coffee is the main export industry in Burundi, and Starbucks' launch of Burundian coffee in its chain stores will increase the global visibility of Burundian coffee. It is estimated that 80 per cent of the 500000 coffee growers in Burundi will have a significant increase in income in the coming years.

In recent years, Starbucks has paid more and more attention to the African coffee industry and has begun to cooperate with coffee growers in Tanzania, Ethiopia, Rwanda and Kenya.
