'We Are Moving Away From Export of Raw Coffee': Ruto Reforms strengthening cooperatives, improving market access, and protecting farmers’ earnings have pushed coffee prices up from $0.23–0.54 to $0.92–1.23 per kilo over the past two years, Kenya's president noted."We are also ensuring that at least 80 per cent of every coffee sale goes directly to the farmer while payments will be made within five days of a sale," he said on the occasion of the National Coffee Revival Through Cooperative Societies Programme launch in Kirinyaga.Additionally, the country is pivoting "to local processing, packaging and branding so that more value is retained in Kenya," the president stated.Subscribe to @sputnik_africa Sputnik Africa | X
