Kenyan coffee farmers are at the bottom of the industry value chain. The price of unprocessed coffee beans was only about 130 shillings ($1.51) per kilogram at its peak, and the middleman who bought the coffee sold it on the exchange for more than twice as much. The market price of processed coffee will rise to 4000 shillings ($46.50).

To break this situation, Kenyan authorities are trying to attract buyers from countries such as China, South Korea, Japan and the United Arab Emirates to participate in the local coffee market in order to achieve a more balanced coffee trade, benefit farmers and increase local taxes.

According to local media reports, major coffee producing areas such as Nieli and Migoli have negotiated agreements with buyers from China. According to the agreement, local coffee farmers will sell coffee directly to Chinese merchants at a price of about 250 shillings (US $2.90) per kilogram. Coffee is one of Kenya's main sources of foreign exchange, second only to tea, horticulture and tourism.

Last year, as global supply increased and international coffee prices continued to fall, Kenyan coffee prices fell to their lowest level since 2007, seriously affecting the livelihoods of millions of coffee farmers. Coffee prices have rebounded this year as a result of expected decline in coffee production due to dry weather in Brazil, where the Kenyan government takes the coffee industry extremely 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 purchased by the Kenya Coffee Commission, where they are identified, graded, and then sold at weekly auctions, where they are no longer graded. 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. Kenyan Coffee has become more famous with the sensation of the Hollywood movie "out of Africa". Karen, the heroine played by Meryl Streep, is a writer and coffee planter. Many people probably remember Karen's yellow-and-white linen dress, the beautiful scenery and the magnificent sunset. What is even more unforgettable is Karen's dream of having a coffee plantation in Africa. Kenyan coffee mostly grows at an altitude of 1500Mel, 2100 meters above sea level, and is harvested twice a year. Kenyan industrious people love coffee as much as lovers in love.

Accounting for 55% of Kenya's total coffee production (40% of the number of estates) is run by numerous small operators. Seeing that coffee is absolutely profitable, these small operators continue to increase the need for agronomy and the development of high-quality coffee tree species, thus greatly promoting the development of coffee in Kenya.

To ensure that only ripe coffee fruits are picked, people must tour the forest about seven times. After they harvest the coffee, they first send the coffee beans to the cooperative cleaning station, where the sun-dried coffee is sent to the cooperative in the form of "parchment coffee beans" (that is, coffee beans covered with endocarp) ("parchment coffee" is the last state of coffee beans before peeling).
