The Mano processing plant is part of the Muyala Cooperative (Muhara FCS), which has two processing plants (Factory), in addition to the Magomano treatment plant (Magomano), there is also Muthiga. The processing plant is located in the town of Gatundu in the Kiambu production area, about 50 kilometers north of the capital Nairobi, about the midpoint of the production area from Nairobi to Nyeri. Apart from producing coffee, the town of Gatundu is also famous for the fact that Kenya's first president, Jomo Kenyatta, lived here.

Muyala cooperative Magomano processing plant AB TOP Kiambu is located in the north of the Kenyan capital, between the capital (Nairobi) and the Nyeri producing area, is a quite traditional coffee producing area in Kenya, with a long history of coffee cultivation and high reputation. But in the coffee market in the past five years, why does the Qianbu producing area seem to be relatively quiet? It is not because of the decline in quality, but related to the development of the economic environment in Kenya as a whole (in fact, in terms of cup test experience, the samples in Qianbu are often quite consistent compared with other producing areas).

Coffee production in Kenya as a whole is actually showing a gradual decline, mainly due to the impact of urbanization, industrialization, land development, tourism and other commercial activities, and the shrinking area of coffee cultivation has been diverted to other uses. Production naturally declined. As the coffee producing area closest to the capital, Qi Anbu's coffee production is naturally the most affected. Cooperatives in Nyeri producing areas often have 6-8 processing plants, while those in Qianbu producing areas tend to have only about 2-5 cooperatives. We seldom see the excellent work in Qianbu producing area, which is actually affected by the industrial chain factor of the sharp decline in output.

However, it may be such a process of eliminating the weak and staying strong that the co-operative treatment plants that can be left behind are of a fairly neat standard.
