Founded in 1999 in Embu, Kenya, the cooperative has 1200 active growers and the cleanest water treatment centers. It is well known that cooperatives pay producers far higher than government requirements. In Kenya, cooperatives have to pay 80 per cent of the final income to coffee farmers, and Kithungururu ends up paying 95 per cent more to coffee farmers than other cooperatives.
