Hand-picked cherries are brought to Kibingo washing station where they are sorted and pulped within 6 hours of receiving. The traditional washed coffee is fermented in large fermentation tanks in water for 10 to 12 hours.
At the Kabingo washing station, farmers can obtain organic fertilizer from composted coffee pulp. To promote farm renovation, producers can get low-cost, subsidized coffee seedlings at the washing station. Kibingo is managed by Greenco who operate 13 washing stations in Burundi focusing on processing high quality coffees and improving producer livelihood and equity through programs and hands-on participation within the community.
The washing station participates in a number of farmer outreach and support projects including a livestock rearing project and a range of Farmer Hub projects centered on strengthening cooperatives and improving plant yields.
