GENEVA, SWITZERLAND, July 26, 2018 – Today, we celebrated the official opening of our new dry mill in Kenya. It is named "Kahawa Bora Millers,” which translates into English as "Excellent Coffee Millers."
The opening was attended by the Director of the Agriculture and Food Authority (AFA), the head of the coffee section within the AFA, the Kenyan Coffee Research Foundation (CRF), 32Cup, and many more. Around 300 farmers, representatives of cooperatives or small estates also took part in the opening ceremony, which included speeches of different themes.
Strategically located in Thika, Central Kenya, Kahwa Bora was set up to finance, support and mill a wide range of coffee qualities; from Fair Average Qualities (FAQs) to top lots from all over the country. Aiming to mill around 10% of the Kenyan crop in 2018/19, our focus is to delve deeper into the small estate sector in Kenya and to focus on becoming a service provider and micro mill for small individual coffee growers. This allows us to source high-value traceable coffee for export to roasters all over the world.
