Brief introduction of producing area

Mulanka producing area is located in the foothills of Kenya (Mount Kenya), close to the Neyri producing area. The fertile volcanic soil (volcanic loam) of Mount Kenya provides sufficient nutrients for coffee growth. There are two rainy seasons in this area every year, and the typical rainfall occurs in March-April and November-December respectively. The annual precipitation is abundant, and the coffee trees hardly need artificial irrigation. There are two harvest seasons in the producing area, the main harvest season (Main Harvest) from April to June and the secondary harvest season (Fly Crop) from October to December.

There are several coffee processing plants in the Mulanka producing area, and in principle, coffee farmers can choose nearby. Because of the way raw beans are sold in Kenya, coffee processing plants that can sell high prices tend to be more popular with farmers. The Tangkashi processing plant is one of the processing plants owned by the Iyego Coffee Growers Cooperative Society, which is mainly responsible for processing coffee from nearby small family farms.

Class AA Kenya Muranga Kianderi AA of Acchiondre processing Plant

The Kenyan coffee bean comes from the Riakiberu washing plant in Murang'a Mulanka, north of Nairobi in Kenya's central province. About 700 small farmers bring their coffee cherries to the washing plant for treatment. These small farmers cultivate SL28, Ruiru11 and some new high-yield Batian coffee varieties. And farmers benefit from mineral-rich volcanic soil, which has ideal conditions for coffee to grow, which is a typical environment in this region. Farmers pick ripe coffee cherries and are taken by small farmers to the treatment plant, which is treated with a personal washing method before removing the peel and pulp. The long-term goal of the Riakiberu coffee factory is to increase production through farmer training and year-round agricultural seminars. Their wish is to establish a transparent and trusting relationship with small farmers and to help Kenyan industry continue to grow, while bringing good quality and good prices to farmers.
