Planning around life in Burera.

The district highlights farming and livestock, trade at Cyanika, and tourism around its lakes and volcano as local activities and opportunities.

Farming and livestock

Plan for seed, fertiliser, animal feed and transport. Separate payment dates from the time you expect to sell your produce.

Trade and markets

Record stock, delivery costs and unpaid sales. If you trade across the border, confirm the requirements for your goods before travelling.

Keep stock records
