Kenyan coffee farmers irritated

Home » Coffee » Blog » Kenyan coffee farmers irritated

Kenya is a famous source for gourmet coffee, with one legend citing it as the origin of the drink itself. Apparently things there aren't going so hot right now.

About 200 farmers’ representatives attending a training in Meru Town, organised by the Coffee Board of Kenya, blamed Agriculture minister Kipruto arap Kirwa and his co-operative counterpart, Njeru Ndwiga, of messing up the coffee sector.

They censured the two ministers for failing to revamp the sector, especially the marketing sector, which they said was the root cause of poor prices at the auction.

I expect the issue might have repercursions somewhat in the Fair Trade world if this movement gains ground.
