The Conundrum of Coffee Bean Accumulation in Mt. Kenya Coffee Factories
Coffee farmers from Mt Kenya East have expressed concerns over the pilling up of coffee beans in factories and milling facilities.
Kenya Coffee Producer Association Chairperson Peter Gikonyo said, “The government needs to act fast to evade the looming crisis.”
Farmers said they fear losing millions.
The crisis arose as a result of the government embarking on reforming the sector to improve payments to farmers and dilute the power of multinational buyers.
