Kibingo washing station
This is a research profile, not an independently conducted farm visit. Producer and coffee relationships are shown only when the records agree. Check the research sources below for supporting evidence.
The story
Kibingo washing station is managed by Greenco, a company that began its operations in the Kayanza province in 2015. The station serves 1,739 smallholder farmers who are organized into groups of 30 people to facilitate communication and supply chain management. Since its inception, Greenco has overseen the station as part of a network of 13 washing stations in the region.
Challenges
Sucafina reports that Kibingo's suppliers generally cultivate small plots and often manage aging rootstock; replacing trees can remove scarce productive land from harvest for three to four years.
Innovations
Sucafina documents composted coffee-pulp fertilizer, subsidized seedlings from the station nursery, and farmer-support projects including livestock rearing and cooperative-strengthening.
Published coffees linked to this farm
For blends, a farm may be named for one documented component without growing the entire coffee. These catalog relationships do not independently verify every lot, harvest or producer. See individual coffee profiles for traceability evidence.
