Planting Environment of SL28 SL34 Variety in AA Wonder Land in Kenya

Kenya is a model country for producing fine coffee beans. Coffee was introduced from Britain in 1900. Only the traditional Arabica did not have the best bourbon species of SL28 and SL34 in Kenya until 1950.

Graded adoption of the AA PLUS?AA?AB system, but this is only the difference in particle size uniformity does not represent the difference in quality. The altitude of high quality is 4200 to 6800 feet. From 2009 to 2010, due to the influence of global warming and pathological changes, the output decreased and the price rose. After that, fine coffee continued to rise and Kenya coffee's irreplaceable blackpot flavor, making good Kenyan beans at high prices. Therefore, direct coffee is the first choice to buy the best quality Kenyan beans, which can be harvested twice a year, April to June is the second production season, and October to December is the main harvest season.

Most coffee beans are graded by the Kenya Coffee Bureau and sold at auctions. The system of public auction can be traced back to the way of auction before 1934. There are 50 licensed agents in Kenya who send sample beans to their customers for cup testing. Customers can bid for their favorite coffee at auction. But this approach seems to encourage intermediary agents to erode farmers' incomes, so in 2006 Kenya opened 32 more independent sales agents to contact foreign coffee buyers directly without going through auctions. but all of these have to reach the quality of the Kenyan Coffee Agency? Storage? Only standards such as bank guarantees can be sold, and the two systems operate in parallel at the same time. After several years of development, it is the most transparent auction distribution system. The better the coffee quality is, the better the price can be measured through the cup, so that more cooperatives and farms are willing to join. However, I think the latter can contact farmers directly to get first-hand information.

Duomen's Kigwandi treatment plant, located in the southwest of the central mountain of Kenya's best bean-growing region, only buys beans planted by farmers in four nearby villages. These are small batches of products with an average planting area of 2 acres and 200 coffee trees, which are dried in a traditional water washing viaduct.
