Coffee buyers from the American Special Coffee Association (SCAA), Brazil, Colombia, China, Hong Kong and Myanmar have come to Kenya to seek direct deals with local farmers. At present, 85% of Ken's exported coffee is auctioned through the Nairobi Coffee Exchange (NCE). The auction price of each bag of 50kg coffee is about 23000 Ken shillings (US $225.8), which can be sold directly to buyers for up to 30,000 Ken shillings (US $294.5), which will greatly increase the income of farmers. Kenya produces about 1 per cent of the world's coffee, and only 5 per cent of exported coffee is roasted beans.
