COOPAC has given each sector of the region a farmers'
mentor (or an agricultural advisor) in each of the two districts so
that the advisors can familiarize the farmers with all the latest methods
at their disposal. Every year COOPAC runs a training program for the
farmers with the asistance of ACDI-VOCA and OCIR-CAFE and a support
project in rural Minagri.
COOPAC - The Environment
COOPAC filters off the waste by-products during
the coffee washing process to fertilize the local soil rather than
emptying them into the river or the lake.
COOPAC distributes shade trees to coffee farmers
in the districts of Nyamyumba and Kayove. These trees enable the farmers
to cultivate a high quality organic coffee for international distribution,
to protect the land from erosion and enhance the forest ecosystem
in the region. This program is financed by ACDI-VOCA in partnership
with COOPAC.
