Mwiria Factory

Veolia treatment Plant (Cooperative), belonging to the Gandaly FCS Cooperative, is located in the producing area of Embu County County, Kenya.

About 1690-1750 meters above sea level, the cooperative has about 1080 members. Veolia's main coffee fruit comes from the four villages of Kirigi, Kiini, Mukangu and Kathangari. The treatment farm stipulates that its members must grow coffee all the year round and cannot change other crops arbitrarily. Almost all members of the cooperative's policies are acceptable and have a very high centripetal force (by the photos below) You can see the degree of enthusiasm of coffee farmers to participate in the activities of the treatment farm) Each farmer grows about 350 coffee trees on average, covering an area of about 1 hectare. Farmers in the region also grow other cash crops, including passion fruit, bananas, cabbage, carrots and tea: the farm employs three managers, including 30 temporary workers, during the peak season to cope with the busy harvest period.

There are 9 waste water pits in Weiliya treatment plant, which are used to collect and treat the wastewater produced in the process of washing and fermentation, far away from the river to prevent the waste water from polluting the river. After the ripe fruits are planted and harvested, they are centrally sent to the receiving area of the treatment plant, where the ripe cherries are soaked and separated from impurities, and then the peel and pulp are removed after processing. this is the famous Kenyan wet processing method in this area. the waste water produced in the whole process will first be placed in the soaking pit, and then recycled and reused. There are several stages of monitoring and processing in the Weiliya treatment plant, such as separating the peel and initially removing the pectin layer, using a peeling machine with three sets of plates to remove the outer skin of the coffee fruit and the pulp outside the hard shell. After the pulp is removed, the coffee is fermented all night to decompose the sugar and pectin layer, and then, depending on whether the stripping is complete, the washing procedure is followed by soaking, and then the coffee is washed and evenly distributed on the high drying table for about 48-72 hours. The drying time on the drying table depends on the climate, ambient temperature and processing capacity, and it takes a total of about 15 days.

The following photo shows a gathering of four rural members and officials of the Veolia processing Farm. The main topic discussed at that time was the improvement procedure for the official payment of raw beans:
