RUGOFARM is leading a project in Burundi for the development of an essential oil production supply-chain.
It is carried out in partnership with producers in Cibitoke province, in the north-west of the country, for the cultivation of patchouli, and the company ASTIER DEMAREST, for technical assistance and marketing.
The ESSENTIAL OILS IN BURUNDI project is part of a desire to diversify Burundi's export income with high value-added products, thereby improving the standard of living of local populations and reducing poverty in rural areas.
The RUGOFARM agro-industrial complex, established in Rugombo since 1991, is today made up of a team of 68 people, spread over crops, distillation and administration.
With an annual export prospect of 10 tonnes of patchouli essential oil, the project plans to supervise 3,000 producers by 2023 and formalize this partnership approach by examining Fair Trade certification.
