"Basically, what makes Kenyan coffee special is because of the vast soil conditions that we have, the acidity relates, which also varies with a different region that the coffee comes from between the country, which also makes coffee from those areas to have different specialty in them."
In 2023, the cooperative processed about 4.88 million kg of coffee berries from its members. Most of the cooperative's production was semi-processed and sold in bulk at the Nairobi Coffee Exchange.
A half-acre piece of land can generate about 96,000 Kenyan shillings (about 742 U.S. dollars) in annual earnings.
In 2023, the country's coffee production reached 48,648 tonnes, generating about 251.86 million U.S. dollars in exports. Coffee remains one of Kenya's top foreign exchange earners, alongside tea and horticulture.
