Reforms in the coffee industry, spearheaded by Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s office, have marginally boosted the pricing of the commodity but are yet to deliver an improvement in the volume of production, sale, and export shipments.
The Coffee Sub-Sector Reforms Secretariat says coffee growers now fetch about 10 percent more for their coffee, with a 50-kilogramme bag now selling at an average of $227 (Sh29,373), from about $195 (Sh25,233) a year ago.
