Nkara Station

Established in 2007 to support local farmers, Nkara Coffee Washing Station is nestled amidst the rugged hills between Muhondo and Ruli sectors, specifically in Ruli Sector, Busoro Cell, Gitaba Village. It is surrounded by green sloping hills, benefiting from a favorable climate that enhances the coffee's quality. The station cultivates Arabica Bourbon variety coffee. Approximately 226 farmers, mostly small-scale growers who also cultivate crops like beans and cassava, deliver their harvests to Nkara. Farm altitudes range from 1,800 to 2,100 meters above sea level, while the washing station itself is situated at about 1,800 meters. Harvesting occurs from March to October, yielding about 3 containers of exportable green coffee annually.
