List of companies of Rwanda

Rwanda is a sovereign state in central and east Africa and one of the smallest countries on the African mainland. Rwanda's economy suffered heavily during the 1994 Rwandan Genocide, but has since strengthened. The economy is based mostly on subsistence agriculture. Coffee and tea are the major cash crops for export. Tourism is a fast-growing sector and is now the country's leading foreign exchange earner.
