40 raised drying beds

Kopakama · Ejo Heza · 780 member farmers

The cheapest cup-score improvement available. Airflow underneath the parchment means even drying and far fewer defects.

Drying on tarps over bare ground traps moisture and picks up ground taint. Raised beds are timber and mesh — and building them locally keeps both the money and the repair skills in the country.

The station

On the hills above Lake Kivu. Ejo Heza — "a better tomorrow" — is the co-operative's women-run plot, where members farm and are paid on their own account.
