One district.
Many livelihoods.

Nyamasheke borders Rusizi, Karongi, Nyamagabe and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Lake Kivu and Nyungwe give the district a distinctive natural and tourism setting.

The district website highlights coffee, tea, fishing and hospitality. The following practical guides help connect these opportunities with your own business figures.

01 / COFFEE & TEA

On the farm, seasons shape the plan.

Separate crop revenue from the surplus you keep. Record inputs, labour, transport and the amount needed for the next season.

Hospitality deserves a business plan.

Plan for busy and quiet periods. Include cleaning, utilities and staff costs, and confirm the permits your activity requires.

03 / MARKETS & BUSINESS

Count the journey to market.

Transport, storage and spoilage affect your margin. Compare the full delivered cost when making a purchasing decision.
