Tea Plantations
Tea is a major product of Rwanda's economy, with many thousands
of tons exported each year. The government is slowly privatising
plantations into cooperatives and 'Tea Societies', empowering local
farmers. Many visitors to Rwanda enjoy seeing the plantations with
their dramatically-sloped fields and panoramic vistas, and buying
locally-produced varieties to take back as souvenirs from Rwanda.
Plantations near Lake Kivu and Nyungwe Forest are especially
popular as package tour excursions.
Information & Facts
Language
Kinyarwanda, French and English are the official
languages. French is widely spoken, but English is limited to a few
people in the tourist centres.
Money
The official currency is the Rwanda franc (RWF), which is
divided into 100 centimes. The US dollar is the hard currency of
preference; travellers cheques are difficult to exchange, even in
the capital. Credit cards are only accepted at the major hotels in
Kigali.
