Kibingo Oro

Kibingo is a relatively large-scale washing station, situated in Kayanza, northern Burundi. It serves as a central hub for 3,515 registered coffee growers from 18 surrounding hills, with farm altitudes ranging between 1,700 and 1,900 metres. The farmers are organised into groups of 30, each led by a farm leader who facilitates communication and coordination with the washing station.

The station is well-equipped for bulk coffee processing, with 10 fermentation tanks, 2 soaking tanks, and 165 drying tables, with an additional 4 pre-drying tables. Additionally, it provides essential resources to the farmers, such as organic fertiliser made from composted coffee pulp and low-cost coffee seedlings (with certified seed-stock bought in from the Institut des Sciences Agronomiques du Burundi) for farm renovation, nurtured in the station's own nursery.
