The Producer
Gikirima Factory (wet mill) is one out of five wet mills under the Kibugu Cooperative Society in Embu in Central Kenya. They receive cherry from hundreds of smallholders from the area. These farmers have on average 2 hectares or around 300 trees. As is common in Kenya & Ethiopia, most farmers also grow other crops such as passionfruit, maize, beans & tea.
Processing
At the factory they sort the cherries before they undergo a dry fermentation. Afterwards they are washed and graded in channels, and dried on raised beds. The farmers mainly grow SL28 and SL34 and sometimes K7, Ruiru 11 and Batian.
