Coffee sector regulator has embarked on a plan that will pay farmers monthly for bean deliveries instead of the current six-month cycle that has left many producers struggling to meet their financial obligations.

The Coffee Directorate on Wednesday said it was partnering with Co-operative Bank #ticker:COOP and the Meru County government in the pilot phase of the programme that, if successful, will be extended to coffee farmers countrywide.
