Nguvu is produced in Beni, a territory that is often in the news as pockets of conflict and terrorism still exist. This lot was delayed due to armed attacks that led farmers to flee and seek refuge temporarily outside of Beni for weeks. They came back once security was restored and ensured safe delivery of high quality coffee. Coffee revenue and income is critical in such conflict and post-conflict zones.Nguvu is produced in Beni, a territory that is often in the news as pockets of conflict and terrorism still exist.

Paluku Mulisya Jonas has been a coffee grower since 2005. For a long time, he sold his coffee to brokers and smugglers from Uganda at low prices. At the time, there was no alternative for selling coffee. Now that he doesn’t sell his coffee at unfair prices to smugglers, he was able to buy more land and expand his coffee business. Mr. Jonas has 4 children and hopes to see them all go to a University.
