Kiambu County has the largest land size under coffee in Kenya, making it the top producer of cherries in the country.
This comes even as acres of arable farming land in the county are rapidly being subdivided to pave the way for better-earning real estate, threatening the production of food and cash crops such as tea and coffee. Kiambu, which is the country’s most populous county only behind the capital Nairobi, had some 20,369 hectares of land under coffee by June 2022, according to data from the Ministry of Agriculture.
