This 100% organic grown coffee intended for barista use, unfortunately lacks of a certification according to international protocols. The farmers who belong to the Karagwe District Cooperative Union, a cooperative founded in 1990, simply cannot afford the certification.
Around Lake Victoria, coffee growth is complemented by other crops such as maize, millet, beans, and livestock farming. Raising cows is particularly useful for supplying organic fertilizer and maintaining soil fertility and moisture levels.
