Our Burundi-based coffee partner, Long Miles Coffee, has sent to us the DISTRICT Coffee Scout second-quarter report.
Here are the highlights of what we accomplished together last quarter:
- Trained over 2000 coffee farmers in cherry selection, soil properties, fertilization, mulching, pest control & disease management, and Antestia eradication
- Introduced the Brix meter to the coffee selection process
- Started an aggressive pruning season to help next year's crop quality
- Conducted research with the "Superior Institute of Agronomy in Burundi" (university) in the use and effectiveness of various organic pest control techniques and materials
- Built key and sustaining relationships within the local communities, and within the government, as we serve the local people
