Smallholder farmers in Gicumbi district, Rwanda, have become the new owners of the Mulindi factory, one of the country's largest tea suppliers. The factory was handed over by The Wood and The Gatsby Foundations, both British organizations that have supported the farmers since 2012 with finances, technology, and management. The farmers, who produce between 60 to 80 tonnes of green tea per day, expect to see increased profits following the handover. Challenges such as the risk of flooding and aging tea plants remain, but the ownership change is seen as a significant step towards empowering the local farming community.
