Farmers in Virunga, DR Congo are producing some of the world’s best coffee. But poor farming practices, processing and lack of market channels have, until now, limited sales and kept growers’ incomes low. By unleashing the potential of two coffee cooperatives, this project will boost the livelihoods of over 7,000 coffee farming families living on the border of Virunga National Park, reducing pressure on the park’s resources and lifting people out of poverty.
