ABSTRACT Coffea is considered as a large genus (with more than 90 species) of flowering plants belongs in the family Rubiaceae. However, coffee ranks as one of the major commodity crops in the world and is the essential export product of some countries. Moreover, coffee beans found on the market are produced from two different species of the Coffea genus such as Coffea arabica and Coffea canephora syn. Coffea robusta . Nowadays, due to its pleasant taste, aroma, stimulant effect, and health benefits, coffee is one among the most widely consumed beverages throughout the world includes Rwanda country. Both species of coffee present a rich source of biologically active compounds such as caffeine. Caffeine is defined as a xanthine alkaloid compound that acts as a stimulant in humans. It is normally found in the leaves and beans of the coffee plant. In addition to that, caffeine is widely used to enhance alertness and improve performance as it acts as psychostimulant. Consequently, the strong pharmacological effects of caffeine have led to consumer demand for caffeine- free coffee beverages. Due to the high consumption rate of caffeine and its potential physiological effects, both health professionals and consumers need to know the exact caffeine content in food.

  • Anatomy of Genocide and Intra-State Conflict AFRS-3000 (4 Credits)
    Anatomy of Genocide and Intra-State Conflict AFRS-3000 (4 credits) Rwanda-Uganda: Post-Genocide Restoration, Development & Peace Building This syllabus is representative of a typical semester. Because courses develop and change over time to take advantage of unique learning opportunities, actual course content varies from semester to semester. Description Rwanda’s genocide history that has come to characterize its identification and subsequent driver for its post genocide development is studied in this course. The course examines how post genocide development is framed, organized and executed in Rwanda in comparison to the post war reconstruction following the two-decade intra-state conflict. Starting in Rwanda students examine the history that triggered Genocide Against the Tutsi and then delve into the transitional justice mechanisms, and economic and psychosocial measures put in place to promote reconciliation, reconstruction and development. In Uganda you will explore the different explanations for Uganda’s post-colonial turbulent political history and then critically examine various strategies put in place for the design of the National Development Plans for the respective sectors of health, women’s empowerment, and agricultural development, that the Government of Uganda has implemented, and their socio- economic impacts and implications today, within the broader context of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Learning Outcomes Upon completion of the course, students will be able to: • Demonstrate knowledge of the complex social

Accepted 4 March, 2009 Strategic management models are increasingly being used as the lenses through which company problems are analyzed and in the design of effective strategic planning programs in developed countries. However, these models are rarely applied in industry and commerce of developing countries. This study used the Boston consulting group (BCG) matrix to analyze the market for export coffee in Rwanda. Data on coffee exports by destination over a period of 4 years (2005-2008) was used. Results of the study indicated that Rwanda coffee has predominantly been marketed to European destinations that include Sweden, Switzerland, Germany, France, UK and Russia and in general these markets increased by 287% over the last 4 years. However, coffee trade in Rwanda accounts for a small proportion (0.69%) in global export coffee market. If the role of export coffee to the country economic vista is to be consolidated, there is need to understand the social, economic, cultural, institutional and technological factors affecting consuming sub-populations in these countries. Appropriate promotional strategies for these destinations are also discussed.

  • The Rwandan Coffee Sector: out of the Ordinary
    THE RWANDAN COFFEE SECTOR: OUT OF THE ORDINARY Andrea Guariso Centre for Institutions and Economic Performance (LICOS) University of Leuven [email protected] Jean Chrysostome Ngabitsinze Department of Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness National University of Rwanda, [email protected] Marijke Verpoorten Institute for Development Policy and Management (IOB) University of Antwerp [email protected] Abstract This paper studies the transformation of the Rwandan coffee sector from a supplier of ordinary coffee to a player on the market for specialty coffee. While this transformation is widely perceived as a success story, we show that it is far from complete. Although coffee washing stations have multiplied at an impressive rate, many stations are dysfunctional and only a small portion of the fully washed coffee qualifies as specialty coffee. We argue that the quality gap can only be closed through a sustained effort in improving coffee washing station management and providing farmers with positive incentives to improve coffee farm practices.
