Migoti Coffee Company is a community-focused business that is making a positive impact on coffee farmers in Burundi. In 2016, they built a coffee washing station at Migoti Mountain and partnered with industry experts to ensure they have the technical expertise to produce high-quality green coffee. Today, Migoti purchases coffee cherries directly from the farmers who harvest and deliver them to the station, where they’re processed and prepared for export.
Over the past three coffee seasons, Migoti Mountain has produced over 300 tons of green coffee, earning excellent cupping scores and consistently ranking among the best specialty coffee from Burundi. The success is largely due to the dedication of the local team, including ten permanent staff and over 250 temporary workers who are employed during the coffee season from March to June. The majority of the temporary staff are women, who work tirelessly on the raised drying tables, ensuring the coffee is of the highest quality.
Migoti Coffee Company also provides ongoing education to coffee farmers, helping them increase yields from their coffee trees by up to ten-fold through best farming practices such as pruning and proper care, intercropping, planting shade trees, utilizing green fertilizers, stabilizing soils and natural pest control.
By purchasing Migoti’s green coffee, you’re not only supporting a sustainable business that values its community but also getting high-quality specialty coffee from Burundi.
