Abstract : In 2018, the Korea Africa Food & Agriculture Cooperation Initiative (KAFACI) conducted a baseline study across its African member countries with the objective of fostering cooperation for sustainable agricultural development, recognizing agricultural mechanization as a key driver. This report presents findings specific to Rwanda, focusing on the status of agricultural mechanization. Data were collected through three methods: desk review of secondary sources, household surveys, and key informant interviews.
