Seedlings, shade, water and certification — what the Union does between one harvest and the next to keep Kirinyaga coffee worth buying.
Founded in 1959, Kirinyaga County Cooperative Union Ltd represents 14 primary coffee cooperatives on the fertile southern slopes of Mt. Kenya. We carry the farmer's voice through the entire value chain — milling at Kirinyaga County Coffee Mill Ltd, trading through Kirinyaga Slopes Coffee Brokerage Co. Ltd.
