Rwanda - 1 Country Profile
Country Profile
Generic Information
Rwanda is a small but growing market, with a population of nearly 13 million people and a Gross Domestic Product (GDP, Current) of $10.354 billion, according to the World Bank. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, Rwanda enjoyed strong economic growth, averaging over seven percent GDP growth annually over the last two decades. The Rwandan economy grew more than nine percent in 2019 thanks to strong growth in industry, construction, services, and agriculture.
Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Rwandan economy experienced its first recession since 1994, with a 3.4 percent GDP contraction in 2020. In February 2020, the World Bank reported that Rwanda was among the most affected economies in Africa since the difference between pre-and post-growth projections reached 8 percent. In May 2021, the IMF projected Rwandan GDP growth to rebound to 5.1 percent by the end of 2021. Rwanda’s economic recovery from the pandemic has been affected by delays in obtaining vaccines and resurgences of infections driven by more contagious variants, prompting the Government of Rwanda (GOR) to impose lockdowns from time to time. As of June19, 2022, 66 percent of all Rwandans had received at least two doses of COVID-19 vaccine. The vaccination rates are even higher in Kigali city.
The World Bank reported in July 2021 that Rwanda’s public debt increased from 61 percent of GDP in 2019 to 71.4 percent in 2020 and was expected to reach 81 percent in 2023. Public debt increased due to reduced revenue, the need to support a struggling private sector and households impacted by lockdowns, inflation, and general government expenses. The percentage of foreign assistance (external grants and loans) in the country’s annual budget has dropped from over 80 percent a decade ago to 33 percent in the 2021/2022 National Budget.
Leading sectors include energy, agriculture, trade and hospitality, and financial services. Rwanda’s economy is overwhelmingly rural and heavily dependent on agriculture. Strong growth in the services sector over the past decade, particularly in construction and tourism, has contributed to overall economic growth. GNI per capita was $830 in 2019, according to the World Bank.
The government is seeking to turn Rwanda into a regional trade, logistics, and conference hub. Pillars of this strategy include the construction of several new international business class hotels, a convention center in downtown Kigali, a new inland container terminal and bonded warehouse in Kigali. The government has also invested in expanding the fleet for the national carrier RwandAir and is pursuing U.S. authorization for a direct flight from Kigali to the United States. Construction of the new Bugesera International Airport is ongoing.
Rwanda’s principal exports (coffee, tea, cassiterite, coltan, wolfram, hides and skins, and pyrethrum) decreased 10 percent in value and 8 percent in volume between 2019 and 2020 due to reduced global demand from the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning (MINECOFIN). Major markets for coffee exports are the United States and Europe, while Middle Eastern countries and Pakistan are the main buyers of Rwandan tea. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, tourism was the country’s leading foreign exchange earner. In October 2020, the IMF predicted that Rwanda’s tourism revenues would fall from $411 million in 2019 to only $82 million in 2020. Revenues from Rwandan strategic investments in meetings, incentives, conferences/conventions and events/exhibitions (MICE) are expected to recover slowly given disruptions to international travel patterns and advances in teleworking.
Rwanda’s small industrial sector contributes around 19 percent to GDP and employs less than three percent of the population. The services sector – including tourism - generates almost half of GDP (46 percent) and has grown at an average annual rate of around ten percent in recent years. Rwanda is highly import-dependent, and the Rwandan government faces chronic and large current account deficits. In 2020, imports totaled $3.109 billion compared to $2.725 billion in 2019, an increase of 14 percent due to increased imports of consumer goods. Imports of capital and intermediary goods increased by 5 percent and 6 percent respectively while energy product imports decreased by 33 percent over the past two years, according to the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning. In 2020, principal imports included electrical machinery and parts; electronic equipment and parts; machinery appliances and parts; vehicles and accessories; cereals and other food stuffs; pharmaceutical products; construction equipment including iron and steel; and energy and petroleum products. China, Europe, Kenya, India, the United Arab Emirates, and Tanzania are among Rwanda’s major suppliers.
U.S.-Rwanda bilateral trade in 2020 totaled $60 million ($27.4 million in exports to Rwanda, $32.6 in imports from Rwanda) compared to $64.5 million ($18.9 million exports to Rwanda and $45.6 million imports from Rwanda) in 2019. Rwandan exports to the United States have grown significantly over the last 10 years. However, after Rwanda implemented higher tariffs on imports of secondhand clothing and footwear in 2016, the U.S. government partially suspended African Growth and Opportunities Act (AGOA) benefits for apparel products from Rwanda, effective May 2018. Many other Rwandan exports to the United States are still eligible for trade preferences under the Generalized System of Preferences and AGOA.

The rainfall patterns in Rwanda are characterized by four seasons, a short rainy season from September to November. See here.
During the two rainy seasons, the north-western provinces are the most vulnerable areas prone to landslides causing damage and loss of lives. The elevation, slope, poor land management and rainfall are the key drivers for landslides in this area. Rain harvest which could minimize runoff is rarely practiced, impacting livelihoods, killing, or injuring people, and damaging infrastructure, especially roads and bridges, that become impracticable.
Due to its dense river network and large wetlands, the country is threatened mainly by riverine floods. Five flood plain areas have been recorded in the National Risk Atlas of Rwanda related to the following river’s catchment: Nyabarongo, Nyabisindu, Sebeya, Mukungwa and Kagitumba. Nyabarongo River affected more districts than any other river. During the rainy season some parts of roads close to those rivers are submerged by water blocking the passage of vehicles.

Comments / Details |
Storage |
Two main harvest periods: From (December) to (February) and from (June) to (July) |
December to February and June to July are the two main harvest periods in Rwanda. During those periods, some smallholder farmers and trades have not appropriate post-harvest handling and storages facilities and these effects of harvested commodities. |
Handling |
Long rainy season takes place from March to May and short rainy season occurs from September to November. |
During Rwanda's rainy season, the country encounters difficulties related to road accessibility, significantly impacting the transportation of goods. The presence of mudslides and flooding disrupts transportation routes, causing challenges in handling and moving goods. Moreover, the poor road conditions during this season lead to an increase in the wear and tear of vehicles. Consequently, adjustments are needed in maintenance schedules and the formulation of contingency plans to address potential vehicle breakdowns. |

Capacity and Contacts for In-Country Emergency Response
GOVERNMENT
Rwanda is among the fastest growing economies in Africa with a Gross Domestic Product (GDP, Current) of $10.354 billion, according to the World Bank.
Rwanda’s economy is mostly dependent on agriculture, with coffee and tea serving as two of the country’s most important exports. Tourism has also grown into a significant source of revenue. Infrastructure projects such as roads and airports have seen significant investments made by the country to help enhance economic growth and development.
Despite the progress made in recent years, poverty and food insecurity remain major challenges for Rwanda. Nearly 39 percent of the population live below the poverty line, and almost one-fifth is food insecure. Levels of stunting among young children remain very high, at 35 percent. These statistics underscore the need for continued investment in programs that address poverty and hunger.
The country has made significant progress in recent years in terms of infrastructure development and is now well-positioned to capitalize on its strategic location and improve connectivity within the region.
On the humanitarian side, Rwanda was home to 175,000 Congolese and Burundian refugees by January 2019. Most refugees, 91 percent of reside in refugee camps and only 9 percent live in urban areas.

Transit Charges
There is a road-toll charge for foreign registered trucks entering Rwanda of $152 per trip, additional to this is a charge of RWF 15,000 ($27) RWF 5,000 ($9.00) which is referred to as the Entry Card Charge for foreign trucks with a non EAC registration number plate e.g. DRC.
The charge for presenting customs documentation is RWF 6,000 ($10) RWF 3,000 ($5.50). There is also a $200 bond charge but there is no requirement for WFP to pay this.
Storage and Handling at Overland Border Posts
Depending on the nature and the physical location of WFP operations at the time, the storage facility of the nearest town or WFP EDP could be considered as an alternative to the border post storage, regarding the borders that do not have a storage facility, for instance:

Capacity (Mt) |

---|---|---|---|
Byumba (Gatuna) |

12,000 |
New secure warehouse operated by Pembe Flour Mills |
Alternative Border Storage Options
Generally, the storage facilities are not up to the WFP standards. Therefore, there may be a need for repair and rehabilitation works before use.
Inspection Procedures
Trucks arriving at the border crossing points are checked for appropriateness of documentation and sample checks of the cargo type can be conducted as per international standards and procedures. Rwanda accepts and uses ESW (Electronic Single Window) ASYCUDA (Automatic System for Customs Data); this enables clearance to be kept to a minimum, sometimes as little as only 10 mins.
Customs documents are filled at the entry points and a general inspection is undertaken before trucks are allowed to continue to their destination. Truck movements are monitored by the Anti-Smuggling Unit at each checkpoint until they reach their destination. The Anti-Smuggling Unit evaluates the time trucks spend between checkpoints to check if there was any diversion on the way.
Available Facilities
The border crossing points that are also regional towns (Gisenyi & Cyangugu) all have adequate facilities that drivers require. The other crossing points are not near major towns have basic facilities such as food and lodging, small retail shops, and standby security personnel.
Rwanda - 2 Logistics Infrastructure
Logistics Infrastructure
Rwanda’s transport system centres primarily on their road network, with tarmacked roads mostly in towns. The government continues to improve the transport sector and increase the road network from urban to rural areas by focusing on 6 secondary cities to support the main Kigali city. In 2022, 1532.47km of unpaved roads were paved, and 737.86km on newly paved roads were built in Kigali and 6 secondary cities. At least 3,456.36km of feeder roads were cumulatively rehabilitated up to the end of 2020/2021 fiscal year. The country is linked with other countries in East Africa by road, by which the majority of imports and exports are transported. On the other hand, some of the exports and imports are carried by using air transport.
Rwanda’s main air gateway is Kigali International Airport, located at Kanombe, a suburb approximately 10 km from the Kigali town centre. The airport has international flights to Entebbe, Nairobi, Addis Ababa, Johannesburg, Bujumbura, Mwanza, Dubai, Dar Es Salaam, Lagos, Douala, Mombasa, Doha, Brussels, Harare, Lusaka, Brazaville, Abuja, Libreville, Bangui, Amsterdam, Goma, Cairo, Kinshasa, Istanbul and Accra and is the main airport for RwandAir, the national carrier. The plan for constructing a new airport in Bugesera district, approximately 28 km from Kigali is in advanced stage. Building activities has already begun. This new airport was constructed on an area of 25.6 km2 with the paved runway length of 4,206KM enough to serve the entire region. The other airport with passenger service is Kamembe Airport, located in the Kamembe town in Rusizi. Mainly the aviation companies that operate in Rwanda are Rwanda Air, Auric Air, KLM, Ethiopian Airlines, Egyptair, SN Brussels lines, Turkish Airlines, Coastal Aviation, Kenya Airways, China postal lines, Qatar Airways.
There are plans to further extend Rwanda’s economic integration after being granted a 20-hectare plot at the port of Djibouti in 2013. The port, included in the free zones of Djibouti, will be operated as a strategic base for Rwanda’s exports and imports to the Middle East.
Water transport, especially on Kivu Lake, is another means of transport for passengers and goods particularly linking Rusizi, Kibuye and Rubavu with DRC. Other water transport in Rwanda is feasible in lakes Muhazi, Burera, and Ruhondo using motorboats. There are still limited capacities in air/water transport in terms of skilled manpower, lack of infrastructure, and modern equipment, which continues to be a hindrance to better quality service provision and regional market penetration.
Storage facilities are available in the country in various capacities. Facilities in Kigali are more expensive than in most provincial towns. Most storage facilities are privately owned with some few public ones, some of which have been constructed by the Ministry of Agriculture and Animal Resources (MINAGRI). Access to storage facilities is limited to trucks. Handling of commodities for loose cargo is manual. The availability of reliable storage varies, depending on utilization by owners of facilities or other clients.
Further, the government has built and is still building modern storage facilities in Kigali and provinces. By the help of private sector, there is availability of storage facilities.
Rwanda - 2.1 Port Assessment
Port Assessment
Rwanda is a landlocked country and thus has no coastline or maritime claims. It therefore relies on the ports of Mombasa in Kenya and Dar es Salaam in Tanzania for most of its imports and exports. To find a sustainable solution to market barriers, Rwanda has established an East Africa inland port through its partnership with Dubai Port. Rwanda's In-land port named Kigali Logistics Platform offers warehousing services, transportation services, cold store for perishable products and container storage services. It is expected to help Rwanda save up to $50 million from reduction of logistics cost. To support trade and ease transportation of imported cargoes, the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) and Tanzania Ports Authority (TPA) opened a liaison office in Kigali in July 2013. The office allows importers to track their cargo from Kigali and pay port dues directly at Kigali.

Rwanda - 2.2 Aviation

Key airport information may also be found at: https://www.caa.gov.rw/
Rwanda being a relatively small country in terms of area and with relatively good quality roads there is not much requirement for many regional airports. Additionally, being such a hilly country there is little flat land.
The aviation sector in Rwanda has seen massive growth over the recent years. The sector is regulated by the Rwanda Civil Aviation Authority (RCAA) which manages all aspects of civil aviation in the country. In the recent past, the institution has undergone legal reforms which have greatly impacted the execution of its operations in ensuring safety, security, and infrastructural development.
Kigali International Airport (KIA), formerly known as Gregoire Kayibanda International Airport, is the primary airport serving Kigali, and the only international airport in the country. It is the main air gateway for all destinations in the country, and in addition serves as a transit airport for Goma and Bukavu in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. The airport is in the suburb of Kanombe, at the eastern edge of Kigali, approximately 12 km from the city centre.
There has been significant growth in air traffic with the introduction of a number of international airlines to the country. KIA is undergoing expansion to meet the midterm additional capacity requirements. For the longer term, construction is currently underway for construction of a world class international airport – New Bugesera International Airport (NBIA) - which will be located some 40 km from Kigali.
Domestic air transport is very limited. Regular flights are conducted to Kamembe Airport, while Gisenyi aerodrome is being upgraded.
For a list of the airports in Rwanda with details on each, please see the following attachment: List of Rwanda Airports
RwandAir, the national carrier, has in the recent past acquired new aircraft and operates on many routes in Africa and United Arab Emirates. Other airlines operating flights to Kigali include Kenya Airways, Ethiopian Airlines, SN Brussels Airline, Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines, and China Postal Airlines.
New Bugesera International Airport (NBIA)
Bugesera International Airport is being constructed to accommodate the growth of air traffic in Rwanda. The project will cost approximately US $650 million and will be located 25 km southeast of Kigali. The airport will have capacity for three million passengers per year. The first phase of construction will include the runway of 4,200 m, a cargo terminal and a passenger terminal with capacity for 1.8 million passengers per year.
National Airports
Due to COVID –19, the upgrading of the Airports was delayed hence the situation remains the same as 2016.The domestic airports of Kamembe and Gisenyi/Rubavu, located in the South and Southwest of Rwanda, respectively, it was reported by Rwanda Airports authority that minor rehabilitation works were carried out. The two airports will boost tourism in the mountains for the gorillas and volcanoes and connect the country to Goma in DRC. For more information, please see below.

Rwanda - 2.3 Road Network
Road Network
All activities within the road transport sector are managed by the Rwanda Transport Development Agency (RTDA) which operates under the Ministry of Infrastructure (MINIFRA). Within the legal and institutional framework stated in the National Transport Policy, MINIFRA is responsible for the sector's policies and strategies.
Rwanda is dependent on its road transport system for the economic development of the country. All the major towns are connected by the road network. Rwanda is also well connected by the road transport system with the neighbouring countries of Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The road system plays a very important role in the import and export business of the country.
The Rwanda road network has improved through rehabilitation and upgrading during the past years. The total road network covers 7,500 km of paved roads and 11,346 km unpaved roads, making a total of 18846 km. Roads are classified into national (2,860 km), District (1,835 km) and gravel roads (3,563 km). (Source: RTDA)
Primary roads, which are suitable for heavy long-haul trucks, connect the capital Kigali with the provinces and international border crossings. The paved primary roads link Kigali with the major locations of Ngoma, Kirehe, Huye, Gicumbi, Nyagatare, Rusizi, Musanze and Rubavu. Many of these roads are steep, especially in the Northern and Southern provinces, and therefore travel speeds along these roads should be quite slow.
Secondary roads are generally acceptable for small trucks (15 MT max) but require 4WD during rainy seasons especially on roads in mountainous areas. These roads are narrow, steep and difficult to pass during the 6 – 7 month long rainy season. The condition of the district roads in rural areas will only allow small trucks of a 10 MT capacity during the dry season and only about 5 mt during the rainy season.
Rwanda is a small country and the distances from Kigali to the provincial towns are not very far in relative terms. However, due to road conditions and the terrain, the average travelling time for a heavy loaded vehicle, it takes from Kigali as follows: Huye, 3 hours; Rusizi, 5 hours; Rubavu, 2 hours, Ngoma, 3 hours; and Karongi, 4 hours.
All secondary roads are unpaved and become very difficult to travel across during the wet season. Truck movements during the rainy season become very difficult due to floods and mudslides, especially with the mountainous terrain of the country,
The government’s plan to improve the transport sector places emphasis on rural areas. Its major objectives include maintenance and rehabilitation of the rural road network in order to promote commercial exchanges and reviewing the feasibility of an international railway line that connects to the Tanzanian rail network. These initiatives would make a substantial improvement to the infrastructure to support economic growth and ease the burden on humanitarian programmes.

Road Security
Security within Rwanda is generally very good and the UN Security level for Rwanda is level 1, except for the north-east of Rwanda close to the DRC border where it is level 2. The security in areas bordering DRC is very volatile due to unpredictable armed conflict in the eastern DRC.
Weighbridges and Axle Load Limits
Following the assent of the East African Community Vehicle load bill, axle loads are limited to 56 mt and a maximum seven axles for commercial trucks. Measurement is based on axle load imposed are for a maximum 10 tons for a single axle t, 18 tons for Tandem and 24 tons for Tridem. A tolerance of 5% of the permissible maximum axle load limit shall be allowed on the axle load limits. All member states will be aligned to that law. Previously, Kenya allowed a maximum of 48 tons for vehicles on its roads, Rwanda and Burundi 53 tons, while Tanzania and Uganda allowed 56 tons. The approved higher payload to be applied will reduce the transport cost. (Sources: Northern Corridor Transit and Transport Coordination Authority and The East African)

Bridges
Generally, rivers are quite small in Rwanda due to the hilly nature of the land. Therefore, the bridges are quite small and are of good construction, resulting in few problems with bridges in urban areas. In the rural areas, bridges are affected by the rainy season. Two major bridges in the country are the Rusumo Bridge and the Nyabarongo Bridge.
The Rusumo Bridge is located at the Rusumo Border Post on the Central Corridor and was first constructed in the year 1972. The construction of a One Stop Border Post (OSBP) facility between the Republic of Rwanda and the United Republic of Tanzania included the complete replacement with a new bridge, which is 82 m long and 13.5 m wide. The facility, which became operational in November 2014, is a key entry point for traffic originating from Dar es Salaam in Tanzania to Rwanda, Burundi and DRC.
Rwanda - 2.4 Railway Assessment
Railway Assessment
There are currently no railway lines in Rwanda. However, there are plans to construct a railway line which would link Isaka, Tanzania to Kigali.
The Government is committed to developing a rail transport system as one of the envisaged solutions to boosting socio-economic development, welfare of Rwandans as well as cutting down the transport costs. At present, two major rail transport corridors connecting the country to the Indian Ocean are in pipeline, with the Northern Corridor running from Mombasa-Nairobi-Kampala to Kigali, and the Central Corridor linking Kigali with Dar Es Salaam. The proposed railway in Rwanda will be a single ballasted, standard gauge system with maximum speed of 120 Kph for passenger and 80 Kph for freight.
For more information on government contact details, please see the following link: 4.1 Government Contact List.
Rwanda - 2.5 Waterways Assessment
Waterways Assessment
Rwanda is a land-locked and mountainous country, and its transportation system focusses on land infrastructure. Although Rwanda has many lakes and rivers which might attract both the transport of passengers and goods, there is no significant inland waterway services except the very limited waterway operations in Lake Kivu. Lake Kivu, forming the border with DRC operates occasional boat services from Cyangugu, Kibuye and Gisenyi but not on a regular timetable and often have to be chartered. Lake Kivu is one of the African Great Lakes. It lies on the border between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, and is in the Albertine Rift, the western branch of the East African Rift. Lake Kivu empties into the Ruzizi River, which flows southwards into Lake Tanganyika.
In the past, Lake Kivu drained toward the north, contributing to the White Nile. About 13,000 to 9,000 years ago, volcanic activity blocked Lake Kivu's outlet to the watershed of the Nile. The volcanism produced mountains, including the Virungas, which rose between Lake Kivu and Lake Edward, to the north. Water from Lake Kivu was then forced south down the Ruzizi. This, in turn, raised the level of Lake Tanganyika, which overflowed down the Lukuga River.
Lake Kivu is approximately 42 km (26 mi) long and 50 km (31 mi) at its widest. Its irregular shape makes measuring its precise surface area difficult; it has been estimated to cover a total surface area of some 2,700 km2 (1,040 sq mi), making it Africa's eighth largest lake. The surface of the lake sits at a height of 1,460 meters (4,790 ft) above sea level. This lake has a chance of suffering a limnic eruption every 1000 years. The lake has a maximum depth of 475 m (1,558 ft) and a mean depth of 220 m (722 ft), making it the world's twentieth deepest lake by maximum depth, and the thirteenth deepest by mean depth.
Some 1,370 square kilometres (529 sq mi) or 58 percent of the lake's waters lie within DRC borders.
The lakebed sits upon a rift valley that is slowly being pulled apart, causing volcanic activity in the area.
The world's tenth-largest island in a lake, Idjwi, lies in Lake Kivu, within the boundaries of Virunga National Park. Settlements on the lake's shore include Bukavu, Kabare, Kalehe, Sake and Goma in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Gisenyi, Kibuye, and Cyangugu in Rwanda.
Scientists hypothesise that sufficient volcanic interaction with the lake's bottom water that has high gas concentrations would heat water, force the methane out of the water, spark a methane explosion, and trigger a nearly simultaneous release of carbon dioxide, though the entry of 1 million cubic meters of lava during the January 2002 eruption had no effect. The carbon dioxide would then suffocate large numbers of people in the lake basin as the gases roll off the lake surface. It is also possible that the lake could spawn tsunamis as gas explodes out of it.
The risk posed by Lake Kivu began to be understood during the analysis of more recent events at Lake Nyos. Lake Kivu's methane was originally thought to be merely a cheap natural resource for export, and for the generation of cheap power. Once the mechanisms that caused lake overturns began to be understood, so did awareness of the risk the lake posed to the local population.
An experimental vent pipe was installed at Lake Nyos in 2001 to remove gas from the deep water, but such a solution for the much larger Lake Kivu would be considerably more expensive. The approximately 510 million metric tons (500×106 long tons) of carbon dioxide in the lake is a little under 2 percent of the amount released annually by human fossil fuel burning. Therefore, the process of releasing it could potentially have costs beyond simply building and operating the system.
There are also small boats usually in dugout canoes or hand-crafted boats used to ferry people to some of the islands in the lake.
With respect to transport cost: Speed boat which carries 10 people is hired at 312 USD from Kibuye to Gisenyi in 1hour and 30 minutes owned by individuals.
For more information on government contact details, please see the following link: 4.1 Government Contact List.
Company Information
Rwanda is a land-locked and mountainous country, and its transportation system focusses on land infrastructure. The main transport of goods using the Lake Kivu is BRALIRWAs’ beverages from Gisenyi brewing factory to Kibuye as transportation costs with considerable quantity of heavy goods is lower than of road transport.

Rwanda - 2.6 Storage Assessment
Availability
Rwanda established Kigali Special Economic Zone (KSEZ) as an industrial zone where logistical infrastructure are constructed. Storage facilities are available in the country in various capacities. Facilities in Kigali are more expensive than in most other towns but also more suited as storage facilities. Most storage facilities are privately owned with some few public ones, some of which have been constructed by the Ministry of Agriculture (MINAGRI). Access to storage facilities is limited to trucks. Handling of commodities for loose cargo is mostly manual, and mechanized handling is limited to few bigger storage facilities. The availability of reliable storage varies, depending on utilization by owners of facilities or other clients.
For more information on storage company contact details, please see the following link: 4.6 Storage and Milling Companies Contact List.
Commercial Storage
There are a couple of commercial private storage facilities in Kigali City namely EAX, ZARA, TRANSPAPER, DPWORLD, ADR Millers, ENAS, John Nabirinda, Seminega Jean Bosco, MAGERWA and many other warehouses. Outside of Kigali, well established storage facilities are owned by ENAS in Kirehe District and WIM Ltd in Musanze district. Pembe Flour Mills have established a new flour mill in the town (close to the football stadium) that has clean and secure storage for about 12,000 Mt and space is available for rental should it be required.
Bollore Logistics also owns 20,000sqm of rentable warehousing; however, it is also acting as a custom bonded warehouse, which is also customs bonded. The average cost of warehouse rent in Kigali is US$5/SQM negotiable.

Further, DP World operates cold storage facility for commercial use and exports of agricultural produce through NAEB (National Agriculture Development Export Board).
Rwanda - 2.7 Milling Assessment
Rwanda - 3 Logistics Services
Services and Supply
Rwanda depends on road, rail or air transport although pipelines are used for moving large volumes of petroleum. The main supply route runs from the Mombasa refinery to Nairobi by a 485 km pipeline and on to Kigali via Uganda by tanker trucks along a 1,250 km road route. Fuel can also be collected from Eldoret terminal in Kenya. Alternative routes exist from Dar es Salaam to Kigali or by rail from Dar es Salaam to Tabora and Isaka and then by road from Isaka to Kigali (452 km). Over-manning, low tariffs, unreliability and system inefficiencies have made commuters prefer road transport even though it is more expensive. Because of high transport costs, insecurity of supply and low-income levels, the population relies heavily on traditional fuels such as fuelwood, charcoal and agricultural by-products, which account for 90% of the country's energy requirements.
Rwanda's major foreign exchange earners include mining, tourism, coffee, and tea, and continued growth in these sectors will be critical for economic development and poverty reduction.
Rwanda - 3.1 Fuel
Fuel Overview
Currently, Rwanda imports all its petroleum products requirements from abroad since there is no local production. The consumption of petroleum in Rwanda stands at 23 million litres per month. This constitutes about 20% of total national imports and has been steadily rising in the past five years, with an average annual increase of 12 per cent.
The main policy objective for the sub-sector is to ensure safe, sufficient, reliable, sustainable and affordable supply of petroleum product. This entails boosting investments in supply and storage infrastructure.
In order to address current sub-sector challenges, the Rwanda Energy Policy reinforces the implementation of existing sub-sector policies through the following objectives:
Accelerate regional cooperation and strategic infrastructure development to reduce the costs of procurement, transportation and storage of petroleum products.
Project:
Eldoret-Kampala-Kigali petroleum pipeline: the Governments of Rwanda, Kenya and Uganda have agreed to promote investment for the extension of petroleum pipeline from Eldoret in Kenya to Kampala and Kigali. Feasibility study has been commissioned in 2014. Fund mobilization through the private sector is ongoing.
Ensure security of petroleum supply by ensuring adequate storage infrastructure and adequate strategic reserves:
Ensure adequate storage infrastructure: currently Rwanda petroleum storage infrastructure essentially consists of government and private sector owned fuel depots equivalent to 72,000,000 litres as per table below:
The downstream infrastructure of petroleum including storage depots, petrol service stations, import transmission, distribution, and trade of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is regulated by RURA.
Additional information on the role of RURA can be obtained on the Rwanda Utilities Regulatory Authority Website.
The oil companies are required to keep 10,000 m³ of operational stock to ensure that there is sufficient petroleum supply within the country. Storage facilities are located at: Kigali, Gisenyi, Gatsatsa, and Butare. There are three facilities of 3,660 m³ each at Gatsatsa and two facilities of 1,950 m³ at Butare.
For more info on fuel transport, fuel price and fuel depots, please visit the Rwanda Ministry of Trade and Industry Website.
For more information on government and fuel provider contact details, please see the following links: 4.1 Government Contact List
Information may also be found at: http://www.mytravelcost.com/petrol-prices/ which is updated monthly.
Fuel Pricing
Fuel prices are regulated by the Government of Rwanda through the Rwanda Utilities Regulatory Authority (RURA), which has the mandate to regulate certain public Utilities, namely: telecommunications network and/or services, electricity, water, removal of waste products from residential or business premises, extraction and distribution of gas and transport of goods and persons.
The price of other petroleum products is not controlled. The government's oil price policy is used to keep the selling prices constant while adapting the level of taxation to compensate for changes in the world market.
As of 16 September 2022, the average price of diesel and gasoline around the world is 1.29 US$ / litre. (Source: Global Petrol Prices)

Fuel Transportation
Internal transportation of fuel in Rwanda is carried out by trucks from Kenya (Nairobi and Eldoret) and Dar es Salaam. The supply is relatively constant and can meet the local demand. However, there have been reports of limited storage capacity for fuel in the country. To address that issue, the Government partnered with private oil dealers to have reserves of up to 150 million litres. In 2015, Societe Petroliere LTD has completed the construction of 21 million litres capacity in Rusororo Sector, Gasabo District, in Kigali where the inland terminal for the proposed Eldoret-Kampala-Kigali pipeline for refined petroleum products will be located. Other companies that have already embarked on storage construction include Abbarci Petroleum Marketing (ABBARCI), Oryx Petroleum, Protek and Mont Meru Petroleum Rwanda. The existing capacity 30 million litres will be significantly increased by the year 2017. (Source: The New Times)

Rwanda - 3.2 Transporters
Transporters
All activities within the road transport sector are managed by the Rwanda Transport Development Agency (RTDA) which operates under the Ministry of Infrastructure (MINIFRA). Within the legal and institutional framework stated in the National Transport Policy, MINIFRA is responsible for the sector policies and strategies.
The Rwanda Utilities Regulatory Agency (RURA), which reports directly to the Office of the Prime Minister, whilst playing coordinative role between the MINIFRA and service providers ensures fair competition in the market in addition to ensuring compliance with national transport laws and regulations.
The “Association des Transporteurs Agréés au Rwanda” (ATAR) is an association of private goods transport operators which works in collaboration with the Private sector federation (PSF). The objectives of the association are to support transporters and regulate prices. The transport market in Rwanda has players from neighbouring countries. As a result, there is free competition in the market across all transporters.
With the growing economy and increase of industries production for export, Rwandan freight transporters have also increased their logistical skills and international good practices such as, electronic cargo tracking systems to compete effectively with those in neighbouring countries.
The transport capacity in the market is able to meet local demand, although, very costly. Some of the factors which contribute to this high cost are the limited availability of freight transport companies and high fuel charges. Mostly, trucks owners prefer to operate individually instead of forming companies. Transporters from neighbouring countries are utilised to a great extent for the importation of products and subcontracted by local transporters for export. Long hauliers in Rwanda are involved in exportation of Tea and coffee to neighbouring countries.
The current transport capacity supplemented with operators from neighbouring countries can accommodate an influx in demand from the humanitarian community.
Cross border transport is currently costly due to a number of constraints faced by transporters along the way. In addition, there has been very significant increase in transport costs because of the global fuel crisis, imposition of new axle-load restrictions and customs delays in the region.
The file attached below contains contact for transport companies utilised by the World Food Programme Rwanda.

3.5 Rwanda Food and Additional Suppliers
According to the Rwanda Agricultural Sector Situational Analysis Report (IPAR, 2009), local food production was expected to meet 91% domestic consumption for the year 2012. It is estimated that two thirds of Rwandan households’ food production is consumed within the family. The Government encourages all smallholder households to retain one-third of their production for own consumption. Land is the most binding constraint to production, with 78.5% of the country’s total land surface being used for agriculture, indicating severe scarcity of this critical production factor. Rwanda therefore remains a food-deficit country, importing on average 130,000 mt of food per year. High population growth, averaging 2.9% per year, and modest income gains have fueled an increasing demand for food which has exceeded production gains.
However according to the Ministry of Agriculture MINAGRI statistics, production of food crops has increased dramatically over the years owing to good agricultural policies. Maize production has increased. However, the findings from the 2015 Comprehensive Food security and Vulnerably Assessment revealed a trade deficit in cereals between 2013 and 2014 where there was more cereals imported than exported.
Food crops are mainly imported from Uganda to meet demand not met by local production. Maize is the main food import. Wholesale prices of maize and beans are sustained by flow of import of Uganda and the United Republic of Tanzania.
Key trading markets in Rwanda include the Nyabugogo Market, which is the main wholesale market for food crops. Each of the country’s 30 districts has main food markets, with the Kimironko and Nyarugenge markets being the other main markets in Kigali.
Main Food Suppliers
Maize, Beans and Sorghum are the most consumed food crops that can be found in bulk in Rwanda. In the year 2012, market surpluses of 227,500 mt of beans and 341, 250 mt Maize were recorded. Most of the maize meal locally produced is exported into DRC, with domestic demand standing at 80,000 mt per year. Production of small mills and main milling plant MINIMEX stands at 72,000 mt per year.
The maize and beans value chain are comprised of several stages and actors. The main actors in the maize and beans value chains are farmers, traders (distributors, wholesalers and retailers), millers and consumers.
The private sector commodity trade is dominated by a few relatively large local buyers and agro processors.. The major three importers of cereals were Bakhresa Grain Milling (Rwanda) Limited; Pembe flour mills (Rwanda); SARL, which is a processor; and MINAGRIm which focuses on whole grains and rebuilding the national strategic grain reserve.
Through the Clinton Health Access Initiative, there are plans to set up a Corn Soya Blend manufacturing plant. Production is expected to commence in September 2016. Currently, Corn Soya Blend is mostly imported from South Africa and Europe. A local company, SOSOMA Industries Limited, supplies blended food to the government on a small scale.
Sugar Production barely meets local demand. Kabuye Sugar Works is Rwanda’s sole sugar maker, producing about 30 per cent of the market supply. The factory currently produces 10,000 mt of sugar annually. (Source: Institute of Policy Analysis and Research - Rwanda)

Rwanda - 4.9 Railway Companies Contact List
There are currently no railway lines in Rwanda. However, there are plans to construct a railway line which would link Isaka, Tanzania to Kigali. The investment plan will be implemented during the period 2022 – 2025.
The new railway is supposed to support trade and easy movement of both imports and exports. This will reduce the barrier of Rwanda to trade since it will get more exposed to the neighboring countries.
