Burundi, Gakenke

High in the hills of Burundi's Kayanza Province, the Gakenke Washing Station has served as a hub for local smallholder farmers since 1991. Roughly 2,667 producers deliver cherries here — each working an average of just 250 trees on a tenth of a hectare. Coffee shares the land with bananas, beans, yams, taro, and cassava: food for the family alongside the cash crop. Unlike Central and South American origins where landholdings are larger and on-farm processing is common, the average Burundian smallholder doesn't have the space or means for wet- or dry-milling.
