    Castanas is from the Cocatrel Cooperative which, was founded in 1961 in Tres Pontas. It has grown into the second-largest cooperative in Brazil. It has over 6000 members with 11 different buying points across the region.

    The Horizon washing station is situated in the Kigoma sector of the Nyanza district in Rwanda’s Southern Province, just 20 kilometres from the city of Huye. The washing station sits at 1,680 metres. 1,200 farmers contribute cherry to the station from farms that are all within 2km from the site.

  • Origin

    Brazil is the most influential and  successful country in South America with one of the world's largest economies. It produces over a third of the worlds coffee and over five million people are employed in either the cultivation or harvest.

     

    Rwanda has ideal growing conditions for coffee: high altitude, regular rainfall and volcanic soils with good organic structure. The majority of Rwandan coffee is produced by around half a million smallholders with tiny patches of land often not much larger than one hectare.
