Akagera is a newer station in the Baho Coffee lineup. It’s located in the famed Nyamasheke District, set between the beautiful Lake Kivu and Nyungwe National Forest. This is Baho’s 2nd smallest station, with 460 farmers delivering cherries for a total of just under 400 60kg bags of coffee each year. Akagera is considered the sister station to Ngoma, which is just a short drive down the road; you might notice that many of the same hill or island groups will deliver to both stations.
At the end of 2019, Akagera was being managed solely by the Kobakanya Cooperative (translated, Cooperative of Coffee Growers of Nyamasheke) a legally registered cooperative that collectively established the washing station a few years prior. Kobakanya had unfortunately been struggling to find consistent market access and was beginning to have a hard time managing the station properly.
Now Baho Coffee works in partnership with Kobakanya, helping them remain organized and providing additional tools to grow in the future.
