The plant began operating in 2010, serving local smallholders and processing 67 tons of cherries that year, and Kageyo placed second in the 2010 Rwanda Cup of Excellence. It then faced difficulties in 2012 from low production and prices. In 2013 the cooperative began collaborating with the Rwandan trading company RTC, which acquired it in 2015, repaying its debts to third-party lenders while preserving the cooperative's organisational structure. The partnership has grown increasingly stable, and the washing plant continues to improve its capacity and coffee quality through renovations and expansions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PROCESS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis lot is a Honey process: cherries are pulped with the mucilage left on the seed before drying, building sweetness and body.
