PRODUCER: Emmanuel Rutsatira
Muka kivu is produced by a family-owned exporter in Rwanda who works with several coffee growing regions in the country. This group of small-scale coffee producers takes advantage of the collaborative economy to get their coffees directly to roasters. They are focused on cup quality, environmental and economic sustainability, and transparency in the supply chain. They achieve this by working vertically from farm to roaster as a single team. They aim to produce sustainable coffee and high-quality micro lots. They also aim for fair prices for coffee farmers that improve their quality of life and that of their families by adding value to roasters through transparency and teamwork.
THE PRODUCER
Emmanuele Rutsatira is the owner of Baho Coffee, a family business. After 15 years working for a Rwandan coffee export group, he started his project in 2016, with the aim of finding washing stations in various areas of Rwanda to offer the different profiles produced at origin. Currently Baho Coffee has 12 washing stations spread across the country, where they process the cherries ensuring the highest quality. The name ‘Baho’ comes from an expression that means “to have life, to be strong and to overcome adversities”. Emmanuele feels reflected in this expression since after much effort he managed to bring his family forward and today he is a businessman who works alongside coffee growers to empower them and improve day after day.
