A Burundian producer organization in western Kayanza led by Picasso Nduwayo, Zephyrin Banzubaze, and Jeremie Nakimuhana. BSS combines its own leased-land plantings with cherry purchased from nearby smallholders and processes separated hill, community, and day lots at the UMOCO site.
History
BSS developed a producer-led growing, processing, and exporting model in Burundi and operates the UMOCO processing site. Onyx documents a relationship through Homage Coffee Source, while Red Fox describes BSS as one of its core western Kayanza partners.
