Kamwangi is one of two factories run by New Ngariama Cooperative Society in Kirinyaga county. Kirinyaga is located on the slopes of Mount Kenya and is world renowned for its amazing coffee quality. Kamwangi was established in 1983 and grows the varietals SL28, SL34 with small amounts of Batian and Ruiru 11.
From funds set aside from the previous year’s harvest, members of the cooperative can access pre-financing for school fees, access to farm inputs and funds for emergency needs. The factory is receiving assistance from a field partner- Coffee Management Services (CMS). The long term goal is to increase coffee production through farmer training, ready access to inputs, Good Agricultural Practice seminars, and providing the most current printed materials on sustainable farming. By paying the producers some of the highest returns for their coffee this objective becomes more possible.
