Zambia Lupili

Zambia Lupili Rainforest Alliance is grown in remote areas of the Northern Province, bordering Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Here, altitude, climate and abundant freshwater create ideal conditions for high-quality Arabica. In fact, coffee production in Zambia’s Northern Province dates back to 1982, when the first commercial plantings were established along the southern shores of Lake Tanganyika. Coffee remains one of the most significant sources of employment in Northern Zambia, supporting approximately 4,000 permanent jobs and up to 10,000 seasonal workers during harvest. Investment in the region’s coffee sector has supported the development of eco-efficient wet and dry milling facilities, drip irrigation systems and research infrastructure aimed at improving agronomy and long-term productivity.
