Rwanda's leading exports are minerals (coltan, cassiterite, and wolframite), coffee, tea, and pyrethrum. Minerals have grown to become the largest export category by value, driven by global demand for electronics and battery materials.
Rwanda benefits from EAC and COMESA membership, the AfCFTA, and preferential access to EU markets under the Everything But Arms (EBA) initiative as an LDC. It also has preferential access to the US market under AGOA for eligible products.
Despite being landlocked, Rwanda has invested heavily in logistics infrastructure, including Kigali International Airport as a regional air cargo hub and road corridors to Mombasa (Kenya) and Dar es Salaam (Tanzania). Rwanda Air also supports trade connectivity across Africa.
