Impexcor Coffee was established in 2007 by Innocent Mwumvaneza after a long career in the coffee industry from farming and semi-washed practices to the different modern processes of specialty coffee. Impexcor owns 20 washing stations throughout the provinces of Rwanda. This allows us to have access to all coffee profiles that you can find in the country and several different types of coffee processes. 

At Impexcor, coffee quality and the sustainability of the farmer are our main objectives. It is for that reason that we have initiated several initiatives to make our farmers financially stable. Because of our efforts, the well-being of our surrounding communities has improved. Those initiatives are water and electricity programs, as well as educational and agricultural programs for our farmers and their surrounding communities.  

After the 1994 Tutsi genocide, there was no hope for the future throughout the country. However, the only option was to live and strive for a better future. Coffee has not only been a source of income, but also a way to heal wounds of genocide for survivors and to promote peaceful coexistence between survivors and perpetrators. It is for that reason Mr. Mwumvaneza decided to switch from the traditional coffee process to specialty coffee. Impexcor employs more than 3,000 people during the harvesting season and 80 employees full time. Impexcor works with thousands of farmers throughout the country and most importantly, we play a big role in the creation of different cooperatives including those of women and youth. This has built trust among the community and created a channel of truth-telling towards unity and reconciliation. We have successful stories to tell, such as those of Turengerekawa and Codekabu in Rusizi district, Koakambu in Ruhango district, and many more.
