The Ibisi Mountain washing station sits within the
hills of Southern Rwanda, located a short drive from
the Nyungwe Forest, a national park known for its
incredible biodiversity of endemic species. Here,
local farmer Bernard Uwitije focused primarily on
producing commodity coffee until 2015, when he
realized the potential for processing fully-washed
specialty coffees in partnership with Rwanda
Trading Company.

Rwanda Trading Company was established in 2009
as a vehicle for positive social impact. This group
has displayed a consistent commitment to securing
economic freedom and security for smallholder
farmers by building resilient, transparent supply
chains. RTC processes and exports 25 percent of
Rwanda’s annual coffee production.
