Coffee Farming

Coffee is one of the most traded commodities in the world. A substantial quantity of coffee traded in the international markets is from Africa and Kenya contributes a significant volume. The Kenyan coffee has unique appealing characteristics liked by many consumers. In Africa, coffee is grown by smallholder famers on small pieces of land.

The producers are faced with myriad of challenges ranging from low productivity, complex and difficult coffee trade system and lack of relevant information for sound decision making on the part of the farmer. The FTOK has over years stood out as a Strong partner in assisting producers to reap maximum returns from their enterprises through rigorous capacity building.
