Kirinyaga is located on the hillside of Mount Kenya, adjacent to Nyeri. It is famous for its strong, rich and solid coffee, and Nyeri is recognized as the two best producing areas in Kenya. Most of the producers in this area are small coffee farmers who join the cooperative, while the cooperative plays an integrated role in providing washing plants, while coffee farmers send coffee cherries to the co-operative's processing plant for raw bean processing.

The Rung'eto Cooperative, which has been growing coffee since 1953 and has 3011 smallholder members, currently has three processing plants: Kii, Karimikui and Kiangoi, all of which are world-renowned and produce raw coffee beans that are snapped up by boutique coffee manufacturers around the world every year. The current structure of the cooperative is headed by a committee of seven elected members, and there are about 25 full-time employees, who are managed full-time by secretaries.

Kii processing plant is located in Embu town, Kirinyaga province, Kenya, about 190km north of the capital Narobi, near the national park in the southern foothills of Mount Kenya. It was founded in 1976 by the Rung'eto Cooperative and co-owned by its members and small farmers.
