About this Coffee
The Kainamui Factory serves about 1,800 smallholder coffee farmers who are members of the Ngariama Farmers Cooperative Society, about 600 of whom are women. The smallholders own an average of 200 trees on less than half a hectare of land. Farmers in the area grow grevillea, macadamia nuts, eucalyptus, tea, corn and bananas in addition to coffee. The factory receives field visits from agricultural ministers and agro-companies who offer training programs. The Co-Op also provides pre-financing for farmers to allow them to pay school fees and production costs.
