Andrew Rugasira, Founder and CEO Good African Coffee
and African Trade Advocate
“I like to put an African Coffee product in an African
supermarket. But the fact that you’re here to invest in Africa, you
have to appreciate the need for African products to be sold in
African supermarkets. Value added products !”
“I will bring passion, commitment and dedication. I will commit to put the best
coffee in your shelves, and I will commit to do what I committed to do with farmers
who grow this coffee and their community. I use 50% of the profit of this coffee to
transform the farmers and their communities through innovation and
sustainable practices”. We Either Grow Together OR No Need.
