Nomad Burundi Gatare
Gitwenge Washing Station is located in Gatara town, within the province of Kayanza that produces micro-lots. About 2,500 producers contribute cherry to Gitwenge, either directly or to one of nine different local collection points that are affiliated with the washing station. Farmers here own less than half a hectare of land, on average, and in addition to growing coffee, they also grow crops like bananas, beans, yams, taro, and cassava, both for sale and for household use.
Due to the small size and yield on the average coffee farm or plot, washing stations are the primary point of purchase for us in Burundi. Unlike other coffee-growing regions in Central and South America where landholdings are slightly larger and coffee-centric resources are more available, most producers
do not have space on their property or the financial means to do their wet- or dry-milling. Instead, the majority of growers deliver cherry to a facility that does sorting, blending, and post-harvest processing of day lots to create different offerings.
