Strong value chains begin with strong plants.

Our Roots

It Begins with the Plant

Before great coffee can be processed, it must be grown - and it must be grown from clean, healthy, high-performing planting material. ABIL's roots are in plant biotechnology, and our Tissue Culture and Nurseries unit remains a core part of the business.

Our seed systems team brings five to nine years of experience in clonal propagation, supported by tissue culture infrastructure and quality assurance equipment at our Kitezi facility.
