QUALITY PRODUCTION IS THE SURE PATH TOWARDS ECONOMIC TRANSFORMATION

The Executive Director of the International Coffee Organisation (ICO) Nestor Osorio and the Secretary General of Inter Africa Coffee Organisation Joseph Sacko on Friday hailed Rwanda for its leadership and consistency in producing quality coffee. The accolades bestowed upon one of Rwanda’s leading exports, is not accidental. It is most probably a result of a realization that in order to compete on the international market, quality is everything. It is through quality and consistent production that standards are set and maintained. The coffee sector in Rwanda has in recent times seen major and protracted investment mainly by the private sector. The setting up of coffee washing machines has helped in raising Rwanda’s coffee export profitability. This is so because properly washed coffee fetches better prices. At the same time investment in Speciality Coffee, has made Rwanda a prime destination for those looking for quality coffee.
