What Shapes Burundi Coffee
Burundi’s structural reality
~100% smallholder, tiny plots.
Coffee processed almost exclusively at central washing stations.
Chronic cash shortages mean cherry payment timing often determines quality more than agronomy.
The washing station is the real quality unit; regions describe systemic constraints.
