Our Model

TRAINING & SUPPORT

Rwanda Trading Co. offers agribusiness management, financial literacy, and agronomy training programs to increase yield and keep farmers operational, profitable, and healthy.

TRANSPARENT PURCHASING

In 2019, Rwanda Trading Co. shipped the first container of digitally traceable coffee from Shyara Mountain to Little Rock, AR, U.S.A. Today more than 80% of our coffee is fully traceable to the farmer. Learn more about traceable coffee at Farmer Direct Verified.

OVERSIGHT & ACCESS

Rwanda Trading Co. oversee milling, processing, and quality control and provide access to the futures market to secure the best prices for farmers.

FARMER IMPACT

After nine years of providing agronomy training to the farmers in the supply chain, Rwanda Trading Co. has again embarked on a new journey to take our farmers to the next step. After assessing various farmers, we realized that many of the coffee trees were very old and past their prime time. Rwanda Trading Co. plans to distribute over 5 million coffee seedlings by 2025. In 2021, we distributed over 350,000 trees, followed by 1.2M coffee seedlings in 2022, and nearly 2M coffee seedlings in 2023. The yields from these trees will bring additional volume to our farmers, hence additional revenue income. More importantly, the young trees will remind our farmers the potential production from trees that are young, hence helping to speed up the rejuvenation of current old trees that are no longer as productive.
