The decline in coffee production was a result of climate change effects and delayed supply of agro-inputs like fertilizers. Some farmers recorded a drop of 20 percent in 2021 coffee production.
According to the NAEB report, Rwanda targeted to produce 7,077 kilogrammes of coffee in the second quarter of 2021 but produced 5,660 kilogrammes. The drop in production also affected Rwanda's coffee exports which is among Rwanda's major exports.
