Coffee Farmers in Mt Kenya Seek Direct Access to Buyers CapitalFMKenya: Kenya
Speaking during a farmers' field day at Ndaroini coffee factory in Mathira, the farmers said that the so-called reforms will not bear fruits unless they are allowed to sell directly to buyers in need of specialty coffee globally.
Mukua said that unless farmers are allowed to sell directly to buyers they will still be exploited and coffee production will continue to deteriorate. The official said that so far many buyers who are in need of specialty coffees are being curtailed by colonial law prohibiting farmers from selling their crop directly unless through the auction.
