Kenya is divided into seven provinces (PROVINCE) and one provincial special district (Nairobi province). The following provinces are divided into districts (DISTRICT), townships (DIVISION) and villages (LOCATION). Under the new constitution, the four-tier administrative structure will be changed to the central and county (COUNTY) levels. The 47 counties established under the new constitution will be officially operational after the 2013 general election.

The seven provinces are: central Kenya (Central Province), Coastal Province (Coast Province), Eastern Kenya Province (Eastern Province), Nyanza Province (Nyanza Province), Rift Valley Province (Rift Valley Province), Western Kenya Province (Western Province) and North-East Kenya Province (North Eastern Province).

Geographic environment editing

Location domain

Kenya is 5.82646 billion square kilometers across the equator, bordered by Somalia to the east, Ethiopia and the Republic of South Sudan to the north, Uganda to the west and Tanzania to the south. The southeast is bordered by the Indian Ocean, with a coastline of 536 kilometers. Kenyan coffee is mostly grown at an altitude of 1500muri 2100 meters, and is harvested twice a year. To ensure that only ripe berries are picked, people must tour the forest about seven times. Kenyan coffee is grown by small farmers. After they harvest the coffee, they first send the fresh coffee beans to the cooperative cleaning station. The washing station sends the dried coffee to the cooperative in the form of "parchment coffee beans" (that is, coffee beans covered with endocarp) to the cooperative ("parchment coffee beans" is the last state of coffee beans before peeling). All the coffee is collected together, and the growers charge the average price according to their actual quality. This trading method generally works well and is fair to both growers and consumers.

Status quo editor

Kenyan coffee

Kenyan coffee

The Kenyan government takes the coffee industry very seriously, where it is illegal to cut down or destroy coffee trees. Kenyan coffee buyers are world-class high-quality coffee buyers, and no other country can grow, produce and sell coffee on a continuous basis like Kenya. All coffee beans are first acquired by the Kenya Coffee Commission (CoffeeBoardofKenya, CBK), where they are identified, graded, and then sold at weekly auctions, where they are no longer graded. The Kenya Coffee Commission only acts as an agent to collect coffee samples and distribute them to buyers so that they can determine the price and quality. The auction in Nairobi is for private exporters, and the Kenya Coffee Commission pays growers a price below the market price. The best coffee grade is bean berry coffee (PB), followed by AA++, AA+, AA, AB and so on. The fine coffee is shiny, delicious and slightly alcoholic. Auctions are also organized to meet the needs of dispatchers. This kind of auction usually has a small auction volume (3-6 tons each), with samples with the grower's logo for buyers to enjoy. After the auction, the exporters pack according to different flavors, different qualities and the quantity required by the blenders. This provides a great deal of flexibility for the dispatcher. Quality-conscious Germans and Nordic people are long-term buyers of Kenyan coffee.
