Burundi's largest industry is agriculture. Coffee is the nation's biggest revenue earner, making up 78% of all exported goods. The first arabica coffee tree in Burundi was introduced by the Belgians in the early 1930s.

Coffee cultivation is an entirely small-holder based activity with over 800,000 families directly involved in coffee farming, with a total acreage of 60,000 hectares in the whole country and about 25 million coffee trees. Each farmer tends about 50 to 250 trees.

Burundi coffee falls into the mild arabica category and it is known as among the best grown in the Eastern Africa region. Its quality is inherent to the hills and mountains where it is cultivated at altitudes of 1250 to 2000 meters above sea level.
