David Muganyura, a veteran coffee farmer, joined a Nespresso initiative that seeks to revive growing of the crop at its launch in 2019. He has not looked back since.
The 74-year-old who had been farming the bean since 1984 saw his output and profitability collapse to near zero by forced evictions of the main coffee growers of the country back in 2000.
This led to a decline in export demand for the locally grown crop. In 2000, the price of the crop dropped to as low as $0.20 (CHF0.18) per kilogram.
