The farming communities that call Bumba home are far beyond the reach of clean drinking water and electricity. Coffee is the most important crop grown on the hill, closely competing with corn and beans. Step closer to the centre of the hill and you’ll find a local market where people sell baskets full of freshly harvested crops and trade other household essentials. Only one primary school stands tall on Bumba hill.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Gill Sans Nova Light',sans-serif;\"\u003eBurundi is a significant coffee producer, ranking among the top coffee-growing countries globally. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Gill Sans Nova Light',sans-serif;\"\u003eBurundi's coffee industry is a vital cash crop for the nation, relying heavily on smallholder farmers and contributing a significant portion of its export earnings. While the country has a growing reputation for high-quality, specialty Arabica coffees, particularly the Bourbon varietal, the industry faces challenges like expensive and difficult transportation due to its landlocked status, infrastructure limitations, and price instability. Efforts are underway to improve the sector, including privatizing washing stations and renewed government focus on guiding the specialty market.\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Gill Sans Nova Light',sans-serif;\"\u003eCoffee accounts for roughly 90% of Burundi's foreign exchange earnings, though it has faced export quantity fluctuations. Around 600,000 to 800,000 families depend on coffee farming for their income. The country is improving its specialty coffee production and infrastructure, with support from organizations like the World Bank. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Gill Sans Nova Light',sans-serif;\"\u003eThe majority of coffee grown is Arabica, with the Bourbon varietal being particularly sought after for its smooth, sweet flavour.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse: collapse;
