COOPAC coop is located in the western Rwandan provinces of Rabavu and Rutsiro. Rabavu lies on the shores of the great African Lake Kivu, the border between Rwanda and Democratic Republic of Congo. Lake Kivu has long been the center of African lore because of its unparalleled beauty and surprising volcanic nature. Tribesmen in this region of Rwanda have long reported seeing explosions far out in the lake. The geologic activity of this region may be one of the main factors contributing to the incredible soil used to grow coffee trees here. COOPAC is revered for its wonderful ecological environment in the steep slopes of the volcanic mountains, and also for its abundance in healthy rain. All of these factors come together to create the ideal coffee growing environment for COOPAC.
COOPAC's membership has doubled every year over the past 10 years to over 2000 farmers in 2010. People here are proud to be a member of COOPAC, and truly look out for one another like family. COOPAC has invested a significant amount of money into the infrastructure for processing coffee. They have committed to exporting only high quality fully washed coffee, and their efforts have paid off; this year COOPAC took home the top price in the 2010 Rwandan Cup of Excellence.
