Coffee farmers have shunned the Sh3 billion Coffee Cherry Advance Revolving Fund, with only a small section of growers taking loans from the kitty since it was launched two years ago.

According to Kenya Planters Cooperative Union (KPCU), only Sh200 million has so far been distributed to coffee farmers out of the total amount.
