Rudisha Utamu wa Kahawa na Chai

Better prices. More value. Stronger farmers.

Nyeri’s farmers deserve greater returns from the crops they work so hard to produce. Coffee and tea are part of Nyeri’s agricultural heritage and economic identity. Yet producing a valuable commodity does not automatically guarantee a good income for the farmer. Agnes Kagure believes the county should actively help farmers strengthen their position within agricultural value chains.
