Producer Story:
Once upon a time, in the lush, rolling hills of Rwanda's South
Province, ten dedicated farmers worked the land with unwavering
determination. Among them was thi group of farmers, the respected
representative of this close-knit group. Group of farmers, along
with its fellow farmers, lived in the picturesque district of
Nyaruguru, specifically in the Ngoma Sector, Fugi Cell. Their most
prized possession was a thriving plantation of 3200 coffee
trees.
The farmers' journey with coffee cultivation had been a blend of
tradition and innovation. They had recently benefited from rigorous
training sessions that focused on Good Agricultural Practices (GAP)
and Integrated Pest Management (IPM). These sessions empowered them
with knowledge on how to nurture their coffee trees to perfection,
ensuring a high-quality harvest.
When the coffee cherries reached their peak ripeness, the farmers
harvested them with care. Group of farmers, along with its peers,
knew the importance of swift processing. Within just eight hours of
harvesting, they transported their coffee cherries to the FUGI
Coffee Washing Station, a renowned facility known for its
meticulous processing standards.For this season, the collective
efforts of the ten farmers culminated in an impressive yield of
6000 kilograms of coffee cherries. Cherries were received with
great anticipation. The decision was made to process the coffee
using the anaerobic method, a technique known for enhancing the
beans' unique flavors and aromas. The entire process was supervised
with the utmost care by Oscar Niyomugabo, the Quality Manager, and
Aphrodice Munyangaju, the Manager of FUGI Washing Station. Under
their watchful eyes, the coffee underwent a meticulous
transformation, ensuring that every bean retained its exceptional
quality.
The partnership between the Ten farmers and FUGI Coffee Washing
Station exemplified the power of collaboration and dedication.
Through their combined efforts, they produced coffee that was not
only a source of pride for their community but also a testament to
the excellence that can be achieved through knowledge, hard work
and a shared vision. And so, the story of Group of farmers and its
fellow farmers continued, a story of growth, learning, and the
pursuit of excellence, all nestled in the heart of Rwanda's
coffee-rich lands.
