Agriculture
Farming
Farming system
High altitude, dense smallholders, cooler climate.
Cherry quality potential is excellent, but yields are low.
Post-Harvest
Processing
Processing reality
Washed dominates.
Cooler temps require longer fermentation; under-ferment is a common risk if stations rush.
Drying is relatively manageable compared to wetter regions, but bed space still limits lot separation.
Logistics
Supply Chain
Supply chain + power
Kayanza attracts most specialty attention → more competition for cherry.
Stations with exporter backing (pre-finance) consistently outperform cash-poor stations.
Market Intelligence
Buyer Truth
Buyer truth
Kayanza name ≠ quality. Station finance + QC discipline decide outcomes.
