The government has released Kes 6 billion to support coffee farming, which will go into the Coffee Cherry Advance Revolving Fund and production.
Government spokesperson Isaac Mwaura announced on Tuesday that the distribution began on Monday in Makueni County and will be extended to all 37 coffee-producing counties.
“Today, the distribution will also be done in the counties of Machakos, Kajiado, Taita Taveta, Kirinyaga County and Murang’a,” he said.
Further, he said the disbursement of the fund is part of the government’s commitment to reviving the coffee sub-sector.
“Recognizing the pivotal role of coffee in our economic growth and its significant support to over 5 million Kenyans involved in the whole coffee value chain, we’ve undertaken strategic initiatives to enhance production,” Mwaura said.
