Before 1 January 2006, the country was divided into 12 provinces. Later, in order to solve the problems caused by the massacre in Rwanda in 1994, the government decided to reorganize the political district. The first reason is the decentralization of power to the local level, as the authorities believe that the excessive concentration of government power is the main factor leading to genocide, and the second is to diversify the ethnic groups in the various administrative regions. to reduce ethnic divisions Rwanda is located in landlocked countries south of the equator in east-central Africa. It is bordered by Tanzania to the east, Burundi to the south, Zaire to the west and northwest, and Uganda to the north, with a land area of 26338 square kilometers, ranking 149th among all countries in the world and close to Burundi, Macedonia, Haiti and Albania. Rwanda is located in east-central Africa, bordered by the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the west, Uganda to the north, Tanzania to the east, and Burundi to the south. The country is landlocked within several latitudes south of the equator. The capital Kigali is located near the center of the country.

Rwanda has been growing coffee since colonial times. Although the crops are mainly coffee, the quality of coffee produced in Rwanda is not outstanding, and its status in the coffee world is low, and few people pay attention to it. Most of the coffee varieties grown in Rwanda are bourbon. Rwanda, known as the "country of a thousand hills", has a high-altitude mountain environment, fertile volcanic soil and abundant precipitation, and has a climate conducive to the growth of coffee trees. The advantages of varieties and excellent natural conditions should have produced high-quality coffee, but why the quality of its coffee performance is not satisfactory? The reason lies in the later stage of processing. Improper handling will reduce the quality of coffee and sacrifice a lot of good flavor in vain. Harvesting, planting, treatment, grading, transportation and other links will directly affect the quality of raw coffee beans, in which the lack of control in a certain link will become a stumbling block to good coffee.

The coffee fruit needs to be transported to the processing plant as soon as possible after picking, but due to the lack of domestic facilities, it is unable to deal with the fruit at the first time. The fruits are piled up after being picked, which will continue to develop and accelerate mildew and decay due to lack of ventilation. Rotten fruits will affect the quality of coffee and show defective flavor.

In recent years, Rwanda has made great progress in the production and processing of coffee. First of all, coffee fruits are picked manually; coffee production cooperatives are set up all over the country to provide technical guidance to coffee farmers; coffee farmers send them to coffee processing stations for cleaning and screening as soon as possible after picking, and select mature and high-quality coffee fruits for processing.
