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 on Migoti Mountain and partnered with industry experts to ensure they have the technical expertise to produce high-quality green coffee. Today, Migoti buys coffee cherries directly from farmers, who harvest them and deliver them to the station, where they are processed and prepared for export.

Over the past three coffee seasons, Migoti Mountain has produced over 300 tons of green coffee, achieving excellent taste ratings and consistently ranking among the best specialty coffees from Burundi. This success is largely due to the dedication of the local team, including ten permanent employees and over 250 temporary workers employed during the coffee season from March to June. The majority of the temporary workers are women, who work tirelessly on the raised drying tables to ensure the coffee is of the highest quality.

Migoti Coffee Company also offers ongoing training to coffee farmers, helping them increase yields from their coffee trees up to tenfold through best agricultural practices such as pruning and proper care, mixed cropping, planting shade trees, use of green manure, soil stabilization, and natural pest control.

By buying Migoti's coffee, we not only support a sustainable company that values ​​its community, but we also get high-quality specialty coffee from Burundi.
