Producers also receive coffee cherry pulp, which they use as fertilizer in their fields. They own an average of 385 coffee trees, with an average production of 1.5 kilograms of cherries per tree. This figure is higher than the national average of 1 kilogram, thus allowing farmers in the region to achieve better incomes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" height=\"202\" width=\"378\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/6430\/4452\/files\/Uns_trabalham.jpg?v=1779029503\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNduwayezu also distributes fertilizers and minerals to farmers and, in some cases, can grant loans to its members.
