Coffee production in Kenya
The coffee industry of Kenya is noted for its cooperative system of production, processing, milling, marketing, and auction system. About 70% of Kenyan coffee is produced by small- scale holders. It was estimated in 2012 that there were about 150,000 coffee and farmers in Kenya〔 and other estimates are that six million Kenyans were employed directly or indirectly in the coffee industry. The major coffee-growing regions in Kenya are the high plateaus around Mt. Kenya, the Aberdare Range, Kisii, Nyanza, Bungoma, Nakuru,〔 Kericho and to a smaller scale in Machakos and Taita hills in Eastern and coast provinces respectively. .〔Adams, Tim (17 February 2013) (Andrew Rugasira: can coffee transform lives in Africa ) The Guardian, Retrieved 28 August 2013〕
The acidic soil in highlands of central Kenya, just the right amount of sunlight and rainfall provide excellent conditions for growing coffee plants. Coffee from Kenya is of the 'Colombia mild' type, and is well known for its intense flavor, full body, and pleasant aroma with notes of cocoa and high grade coffee from Kenya is one of the most sought-after coffees in the world.〔Howden, Daniel (9 February 2012) (Kenya's coffee wars ) The Independent, Retrieved 27 August 2013〕 However, due to a property boom in areas that grew coffee and price instability,〔 production in this African Great Lakes country fell from about 130,000 metric tons in 1987/8 to 40,000 tons in 2011/12.〔K'Oroth, Sylvester (3 July 2013) (Policy failure and inadequate technical capacity hurting Kenya’s coffee industry ) The Business Daily, Retrieved 27 August 2013〕
==History==
Despite its proximity to Ethiopia (widely believed to be the region from which coffee originated), one source states that coffee was not cultivated in Kenya until 1893, when French Holy Ghost Fathers introduced coffee trees from Reunion Island. The mission farms near Nairobi, the capital city of Kenya, were used as the nucleus around which Kenyan coffee growing developed.〔Kennedy, Patrick (June 2005)(Royal News June 2005 - Kenya Coffee ) Sweet Marias, Retrieved 28 August 2013〕 Overview of the Kenyan coffee industry Another reference claims the British introduced coffee growing into Kenya about 1900.〔Davids, Kenneth (2001) (Coffees from Africa and Arabia: Kenya ) Coffee Review, Retrieved 27 August 2013〕
