Cabinet Approves Additional Ksh.4B For Coffee Farmers.
The Cabinet has approved an additional Ksh.4 billion for coffee farmers from the Ksh.3 billion released earlier.
This means farmers will now earn Ksh.80 a kilogramme of cherry from the current Ksh.20 a kilogramme as an advance payment.
The Government will also deliberately search for better markets for farmers by inviting world-renowned coffee dealers.
This will re-energise the Nairobi Coffee Exchange, which has witnessed depressed prices and low sale volumes at the auction.
