Kenya is a big coffee country in East Africa and one of the most important and irreplaceable producers, next to the Republic of Ethiopia, the original place of coffee in the world. Coffee farmers are generally highly educated, studying fine agriculture and growing top coffee. Coffee producers in Kenya are mainly divided into two types, the first type is large estates, and the other is the so-called "small farmers". However, whether they are large coffee farms or small farmers, the coffee beans produced by them have been refined, the vast majority will be transported to the official Kenyan coffee shop for unified grading identification. The coffee bureau will first send samples of the coffee beans to be auctioned to interested buyers for trial, and hold an auction every Tuesday at the Nairobi Coffee Exchange Coffee Exchange in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. Through a transparent auction mechanism and a dual-system parallel approach of official sales agents and independent sales agents, foreign buyers can also directly negotiate with corresponding producers to buy coffee. There is no need to go through the official auction board, so producers' hard work can be rewarded more fairly and equitably, without being exploited by the brokers in the middle. Because of this, coffee farmers are more willing to try their best to produce high-quality coffee beans in order to sell at a good price.
