Our philosophy
At Rutasoka, we believe that lasting change is created through trade, not aid.
Through long-term partnerships with small-scale coffee farmers in East Africa, we build a value chain characterized by quality, transparency and shared value creation.
Every cup of coffee contributes to a model where trade creates opportunity, from cultivation to cup.
Our vision
To build a sustainable and scalable value chain that creates value for everyone who is part of it.
Our mission
Deliver high-quality and sustainable coffee with a positive impact.
The people behind our journey
Producers
Our work begins with the people who grow the coffee.
We build long-term relationships with small-scale coffee farmers in East Africa, working together to create opportunities through quality coffee and responsible trade. These partnerships are built on trust, transparency and a shared ambition for long-term development.
Distributors
Our distributors make it possible for Rutasoka to reach workplaces, cafes and companies all over Sweden.
Through collaborations with, among others, Café Bar, Beans in Cup and Sweet Coffee, we make it easier for more people to choose coffee that is based on the same commitment to quality, transparency and long-term value creation that has characterized our work from the very beginning.
Our community
Every coffee has a story, and every story begins with the people who grow it. Meet some of the coffee farmers whose dedication, knowledge and hard work are part of every cup of Rutasoka coffee.

The coffee plants I received have helped me grow more than just my farm. Today I have over 400 coffee trees and the security that my work will continue to support my family.

I chose to start over by replacing my old trees with coffee. The 2,000 coffee plants and shade trees from Rutasoka have given me the security to build my farm for the future.
