Ibanda arrives through our import partners at Agri Evolve a profit for purpose business that have been working with farmers in the foothills of the Rwenzori Mountains in the far west of Uganda to achieve higher yields, better quality, and effective marketing so that farmers improve their productivity, increase income and profitability for themselves, their families, and their communities.
Ibanda is a village in the northern part of Kasese District situated in one of the many valleys of the foothills of the Rwenzori Mountains. Agri Evolve established a buying centre here for the farmers of Ibanda and the surrounding communities higher up on the hillsides. The quality of the harvest has been greatly improved by this partnership encouraging farmers to only pick the fully ripe cherries. This gives them the best prices. These select cherries are then dried in the open before being hulled, cleaned and processed to a high standard using modern machinery at Agri Evolve’s new Coffee Station.
Agri Evolve have been working with groups of farmers in this area for the past 8 years developing excellent relationships. The Farmers understand the requirements for fully ripe red ‘cherries’, freshly harvested, and are paid top prices on the day of delivery. It’s a relationship of trust, support and commitment.
Ibanda is a sweet rounded coffee with a mild acidy and notes red wine, cooked fruit and dark chocolate
