But the team were looking to start buying coffee as freshly harvested cherries, then do the processing at their own facilities, ultimately allowing them more control over the final product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"text-node\"\u003eTo buy cherries however, Agri Evolve had to focus on building relationships with prominent members of local coffee-growing communities. These communities, the people that live on the slopes of the Rwenzori Mountains, are of the Bakonzo Tribe, and it is for them that Bukonzo Dream is named. Because without the Bakonzo people, there would be no Bukonzo Dream!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"text-node\"\u003e-\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eAbout Agri Evolve:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"text-node\"\u003eFounded in 2016, Agri Evolve was the result of an observation of the local coffee market: farmers had the coffee, but lacked proper harvesting and processing facilities. On top of this, traders in the area only paid low, cash-in-hand prices, leaving producers unable to improve their own product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"text-node\"\u003eAgri Evolve emerged as an alternative practise, initially buying home-processed naturals while working on developing a rapport with local farmers. This was important for when they began establishing themselves as a place to sell unprocessed cherries for a fair market price, and people now knew they could rely on Agri Evolve for payment. Not only that, but the funds made from exportation were funnelled back into programs focusing on training, education, facilities, and equipment all for the farmers to use to increase their yield and profits.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOver the years, Agri Evolve have grown their sourcing across the 200km span of the Rwenzoris, having registered 23,885 farmers in their system (as of 2025), and now having their own milling and export facilities.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"rish coffee roasters","offers":[{"title":"250g","offer_id":57698628895065,"sku":null,"price":15.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"1kg","offer_id":57698628927833,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/7092\/0537\/files\/C69D1E0E-F8A9-4096-ABA3-99B83B69E568.png?v=1774271772","url":"https:\/\/rishcoffee.com\/products\/uganda-bukonzo-dream-natural","provider":"rish coffee roasters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
