Rwanda A1 Grade Screen 15+ FW

Rwanda is known as the “land of a thousand hills” and coffee is widely cultivated across most of those hills.  Coffee is grown as a cash crop by upwards of 400000 smallholders whose farms are measured not in land area but number of trees.  The average farmer has 200 trees and will sell their harvest to a local washing station.  The first Central Washing Station (CWS) was built in 2001 and with strong government incentives in place that number has grown to over 300.  This policy has seen an improvement in quality and added a 40% premium to the export value of Rwandan coffee.
