It appears that the food crops are primarily the same ones in all the sectors, while the
principal culture of revenue is coffee. Besides, the speciality and the comparative advantage of the District is the coffee
of Maraba. It is important to note that the rice crop grown in marshes and wet valleys
is practised
by 70% of bordering households.
Also the marshes constitute potential which could compensate for the exiguity
of land.
Huye district constitutes
approximately 3.307 ha including more or less 1.964 arranged ha. |
