Fugi Afrodis Munyangaju
Direct traceability and transparency are core values at Baho Coffee network in Rwanda. The Fugi washing station focuses exclusively on specialty coffee, setting it apart in both quality and consistency. Like in much of Africa, coffee production in Rwanda is dominated by smallholder farmers contributing very small volumes. Afrodis, the station manager, personally oversees nearly every aspect of operations.
This hands-on approach makes it possible to achieve fully traceable lots, something still exceptionally rare in East Africa. Fugi played a pivotal role in the launch of Baho Coffee and remains a cornerstone of its operations today. These tiny yields also explain why producers rely on centralized washing stations like Fugi, rather than building their own costly wet and dry mills.
