COFFEE BEANS

The Bukoba region is located in the west of Tanzania between Lake Victoria and the borders with Rwanda and Uganda and is the main growing area for Robusta coffee. This coffee is grown exclusively by smallholder farmers. The coffee is picked by hand. On the one hand, this ensures that only ripe cherries are harvested, and on the other hand, it is the gentlest way of harvesting for the tree.Before the production of washed speciality coffees started in this region in 2001, farmers' incomes were very low. In the last few years, when market prices have been relatively high and there have been many developments in the coffee sector, the farmers have benefited; they have experienced a slow but considerable increase in their incomes.
