Our topic

Focus: Production, domestic and international trade, and consumption of Rwanda’s two most important export crops, coffee and tea.

Potential features and topics:

  • Organization of coffee and tea production (Who owns the land? Who provides the inputs? Who does the different work? Who profits?)

  • Trade practices (Who buys the coffee? Who buys the tea?)
  • International marketing (How does Rwandan coffee and tea find its way to your breakfast table?)
  • Environmental impacts, sustainability, and fair trade

Ideas...

I think looking at the SPREAD website will help us a lot. There are many directions we can take our topic and I think this site might give us specific ideas and lines of inquiry to follow up on in Rwanda.
