Raphaël Yaminyibuka, a 34-year-old Burundian entrepreneur from Bukinanyana commune, is developing agricultural activities in the coffee and avocado sectors and creating jobs in his neighbourhood, reports Yaga Burundi. His factory, “Coffee Quality Business”, contributes notably to the development of the coffee sector and generates several jobs.
After interrupting his studies several times and obtaining an A2 diploma in the paramedical section in 2019, Raphaël Yaminyibuka went to Kenya in search of economic opportunities. He worked there for four years as a bricklayer’s assistant and then as a street egg seller, before returning to Burundi after saving 25 million BIF, according to his testimony cited by Yaga Burundi.
His agricultural activity is not limited to coffee: he is also involved in avocado production. He says he showed an entrepreneurial spirit from childhood, notably by buying bananas on credit from neighbours to resell them in Kayanza.
