The history of the producing areas of TRANS-NZOIA and KEIYO&MARAKWET (Terance-Enzoya-Maraquat) in Kenya

The Agriculture Act was passed by the Mau Mauuprising in the early 1950s. In order to create a family farm business, combining existing farms and cash crops to generate additional income, the bill, also known as the Swynnerton Plan, convened by government officials from the Ministry of Agriculture, is the starting point for shifting coffee production from the UK to Kenyans, which is very beneficial to small farmers. Since their total water income increased from £5.2 million in 1955 to £14 million in 1964, it is obvious that more than half of the extra income comes from coffee.

Kenya gained its independence in 1963 and is now a country that regularly produces quality coffee from a variety of farming sources. Research and development in Kenya is considered excellent. Coffee growers who have expertise in their work the Kenyan auction system should be rewarded by better manufacturers. But the buyer

Corruption in the system that is willing to pay more for high-quality coffee may force growers not to get what they deserve.

Kenya has a grading system for all exported coffee, regardless of whether Lottan coffee can be traced back to its source or not. A grading system that uses coffee grading and quality, as in other countries, will indicate size and may also mean quality. Although size and quality can be linked together, the AA grade is considered to be the best. But recently, I found a very complex and high-quality AB coffee, which contains many AA grades.

E-elephant class or elephant bean, which is the largest and only a small part.

AA-this is a big seed level that can be found online. Coffee beans are larger than an 18-or 22-millimeter grille and are usually the highest price.

AB-this level is a level of two levels. A (raster number 16 or 80 mm) and class B (raster number 15 or 6.20 mm). This grade accounts for 30% of coffee production in Kenya each year.

PB-this is the level of pe??aberries with a single seed, rather than the usual two seeds.

C-this is a level below AB. This grade is usually not seen in high-quality coffee.

TT-An is a small grade obtained from AA,AB and E-rated small coffee beans. This grade of coffee beans is the lightest seed in the choice of seed density.

Tmuri-it contains the minimum level of coffee beans and fragments

The abbreviation MH / ML- comes from the values of "Mbuni Heavy" and "Mbuni Light". Mbuni is the value of the name used to call coffee. The natural process of this grade of coffee is considered low-quality coffee. It usually includes unprocessed and cooked coffee, and they will get very low prices. This grade of coffee accounts for about 7% of Kenya's total coffee production.

Coffee grown in Kenya has large and small farms and sells coffee to local coffee washing stations. This means that we can find the most authentic coffee from a big farm. But many years ago, small farmers also began to produce high-quality coffee. Usually, you will usually find a lot of coffee in the coffee washing station. Even if lottery coffee will come from hundreds of farmers, it will still play an important role in the quality of processed coffee through rated escape stations (such as AA), or factory people, so it is worth a try.

Kenyan coffee has a refreshing, complex berry or fruit flavor, excellent sweet and sour taste.

Planted in Kenya

Two Kenyan coffee varieties are of great interest to the specialty coffee industry. Both species are SL-28 and SL-34, two of 40 species led by Guy Gibson of Scott Lab. Both types of coffee are considered high-quality coffee, mainly in Kenya, but both are sensitive. Rustproof Ruru 11 has many attempts to use antirust crustaceans and is considered to be the first species considered successful by the Kenyan Coffee Commission. Although many specialty coffee buyers do not accept that they have demonstrated the variety of Batian in the past few years, people in the coffee industry are still not very good after being disappointed with Ruiru. However, its quality is getting better and better. And it is hoped that the potential of Batian species will become a good coffee in the future.

Coffee production in central Kenya is an important part of the country. The best coffee in Kenya also comes from this region. However, areas such as Kisii,Trans-Nzoia,Keiyo and Marakwet in western Kenya are getting more and more attention.
