The 1994 genocide caused a huge setback in Rwanda's economy, which relies mainly on agricultural production as the country has few natural resources. Yet today, Rwanda continues to make progress in getting its economy back on track through trade deals, investment relationships and the privatization of agricultural land.

With an average coffee production of just under 15,000,000 tonnes and tea production of 15,000 tonnes, Rwanda received revenues of $20 million (US). Although this steady growth is mainly due to the export of coffee and tea, Rwanda's other exports - coltan, cassarite, iron ore, tin and animal hides - have contributed to its economic recovery.
