According to the weekly agri-exports outlook released by the National Agricultural Export Development Board (NAEB), the country exported a total of 10,204 metric tons of agricultural products over the five-day period. Traditional export commodities, led by coffee and tea, remained the main drivers of export earnings, while diversified and non-traditional products also played a significant role.<\/p>\n

Coffee was Rwanda\u2019s top export earner for the week, generating $5.95 million from 897 metric tons exported, while tea followed with earnings of $2.55 million from 882 metric tons.<\/p>\n

The report also shows steady growth in diversified agricultural products, which collectively brought in $4.14 million from exports totalling 7,635 metric tons. These products were mainly destined for markets in the United States, Oman, and cross-border African countries, reflecting Rwanda\u2019s efforts to broaden its export base.<\/p>\n

Horticultural exports also contributed to the overall performance. Fruits, including products like avocados, generated $526,172 from 313 metric tons, while vegetables earned $319,895 from 241 metric tons, with key destinations including the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, the United Arab Emirates, Germany, France, and regional markets. Flower exports, though smaller in volume, earned $81,563, mainly from sales to the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

In addition, animal products generated $381,773 from 222 metric tons, largely through cross-border trade within the region.<\/p>\n

The strong weekly performance underscores Rwanda\u2019s ongoing efforts to strengthen agricultural productivity, expand market access, and diversify export products. With continued investment in value addition and market expansion, the agriculture sector remains a key pillar in supporting Rwanda\u2019s export-led growth strategy.<\/p>\n
