With nearly 700,000 coffee producers, roughly 70% of which are smallholder producers, Kenya shines as a unique coffee-producing country in East Africa. Within the Murang’a County along the slopes of the Aberdare Range is the Riakiberu Factory, or wet mill. 1,300 smallholders in this region contribute coffee cherries to this mill and belong to the Kamacharia Cooperative Society.
The Cooperative was established in the early 1960s, and works with a number of Factories, including Riakiberu, to provide better opportunities to smallholder producers. The Murang’a County is known for its agriculture, and in addition to coffee, locals may also grow tea, maize, and beans whilst also fishing, maintaining livestock for milk and hives for honey.
