Better pay for farmers in new coffee sale deal

The resolution of a fortnight-long standoff between coffee farmers in Nyeri and the management of Ndaro-ini factory over sale of the produce to an overseas buyer will bring immense benefits to the growers, if the buying prices are anything to go by.
Dutch firm Trabocca BV will buy beans from members of Ndaro-ini at Sh121 for every kilogram of cherry delivered, which is one of the highest recorded prices in the recent past.

The adjustment upwards of the prices is partly responsible for breaking the two-week impasse after the buyer agreed to adjust their contract.
