TR: {UAH} Rwanda's reluctant love affair with coffee

Yes, dear Gwokto, Rwandese were not used to commonly drink coffee. 

However, annual coffee production in Rwanda in 1989 was 38Mg of dry green beans  http://www.tropicultura.org/text/v16-17n3/130.pdf. 

If 1kg was sold 1.5$ at that time (https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Rwanda-Coffee-Price-Comparison_fig6_228303909), then the total would be  $ 57M  which is not much different from "The crop, which last year brought in $58.5M, is key to country's economy" read in the article you showed.
