Gisheke, the newest member of the Muraho Trading Co. family.
Located in Nyamasheke District, the station overlooks Lake Kivu, with almost 40% of the cherries received at Gisheke coming by boat from Mushungwe Island. All the cherries from the neighboring islands are delivered by boat to Gisheke, which is only accessible by water.

This partnership with MTCo helps the people at Gisheke increase their quality of
production, fetch a higher price for their coffee, and introduce them to new markets. This will be a continuous work in progress in the coming years, as greater
understanding is gained of the particular challenges Rwandan coffee producers face.

Gisheke’s geographic location makes it ideal for the processing and drying of coffee. This is due to the consistent wind flow that moves between two steep hills that lead towards Lake Kivu, Idjwi Island and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
