Chili farm in Rwanda

Back

During September-October 2023, I consulted for a chili farm in Rwanda, working with the Teja variety. We produced most organic inputs on-site, and I brought my microscopy equipment to Kigali to ensure inoculum quality. We ended up getting a good yield with nice color and good price. Another rewarding aspect was establishing a small vegetable garden for local residents next to the chili farm. Known as the "country of thousand hills," Rwanda's beautiful landscape left a lasting impression.
