COOPAC is
a cooperative of Rwandan coffee farmers with a washing station situated
near Gisenyi beside Lake Kivu. The cooperative started out with 110 members
from the two districts of Rubavu and Rutsiro. Today, COOPAC comprises
2,200 members from the six areas of Ack, Ubuzima, Tuzamurane, Kopabm,
Abakundakurima and Abanyamurava.
A large, modern COOPAC coffee washing station was officially inaugurated in April 2003 by President Paul Kagame and the United States Ambassador to Rwanda, Margaret McMillion. Financial and technical assistance for its construction were provided by ACDI-VOCA, an affiliate of USAID. COOPAC is certified by Fair Trade and sold in supermarkets and other outlets in Rwanda, the USA and France. |
