“At Izuba, we continue to fulfil export commitments and deadlines more efficiently than previous years, having changed the dry mill we use, as well as reporting systems.
We increased our processing capacity by installing new tables, a pre-drying shed, floating tanks, and a new pulping machine at Izuba. Farmers continue to be paid some of the highest bonus payments in the area; and country for that matter.”
Over 60% of the Burundian population
live on less than 2.15 USD per day.
[ (2017 PPP) in 2024 ]
More than 85% of the working population takes part in agriculture; most commonly subsistence farming. In 2024, earnings from export covered only a quarter of imports; well below the Sub-Saharan average. Coffee and tea exports are largely in decline, making our involvement in the production and exportation of coffee vital for not only the communities that grow coffee, but for the wider economy. Ensuring that the consumer market is aware of the fantastic coffees produced in Burundi, may allow the sector to grow.
Over 60% of the Burundian population live on less than 2.15 USD per day. Less than half of all children finish primary school, and chronic malnutrition impacts the lives of more than half of children under 5 years old.
In Burundi, we work to secure higher profits for both coffee producers and employees of station staff alike.
As of December 2019, Raw Material processes and exports coffee from Burundi, through Izuba Coffee. The construction of the Izuba centralised washing station (not seen in all coffee producing countries) serves as a nucleus within the community. This localised position benefits producers by distributing needed agricultural products, supporting the local community through funds, staff, and construction where needed. As extreme poverty remains a widespread issue in Burundi, it was a simple decision to support the employees of Izuba with full healthcare each year, for them and their families.
Through our processing station, Izuba, we guarantee the prices paid to producers, premiums based on quality and an increase the value of the coffee through high attention to detail and quality control. This ensures the highest quality coffee and greatest profitability for producers.
We work to create wide-reaching community benefits, through and beyond the production and sale of coffee.
