And through agricultural education to continuously update and improve the planting technology of coffee farmers, and further produce better coffee.

The area sits at an average high altitude of 1650 meters, and nearly 70% of the population are small farmers. Most of them grow tea and coffee. It can be said that almost all the coffee comes from local small coffee farmers. The treatment plant has been in operation since 1966 and is located in the foothills of Mount Kenya about 1750 meters above sea level. It carries out post-processing of coffee cherries for coffee farmers in neighboring towns. The annual temperature in the coffee producing area is 12-25 degrees, and the annual rainfall is 1600mm.
