This Certified Organic coffee comes from our smallholder farmer partners on the eastern edge of the Democratic Republic of Congo in South Kivu.
This lot is a naturally processed, Blue Mountain varietal that exemplifies the distinctive taste and quality from this region.
Virunga Coffee aims to achieve this vision by improving the quality and yields for farmers in North and South Kivu, primarily through:
- Developing and implementing field-based support activities
- Introducing Good Agricultural Practices (GAP)
- Investing in processing infrastructure
- Organizing assured organic production in close collaboration with over 2,300 farmers (with a further 1,500 by June 2020)
- Bringing an innovative spirit to the development of new products
As well as providing a stable supply chain and specialty market access, Virunga is actively involved in a number of sustainability and social programs in farming communities. These include an extensive tree planting program, disease prevention outreach to tackle critical diseases such as Ebola and HIV, and equipment to help farmers improve their agronomic practices.
