NCE CEO Lisper Ndung’u said 18 buyers participated, where Taylor Winch bought 3,234 bags, Ibero Kenya 2,257 bags, Louis Dreyfus 1,560 bags, C-Dormans 1,518 bags among others.
“There is a need for the growers across the counties to continue increasing production of quality coffee to attract the market,” said Ms Ndung’u.
Mathioya MP Dr Edwin Mugo celebrated the farmers affiliated to the Kanjahi factory in Gitugi ward for being among the best-paid farmers at the auction.
“Two weeks ago, Kangunu farmers led in the payout, followed by Kanjahi on Tuesday, following production of quality coffee,” said Mugo.
The coffee trade in 2024/2025 made Sh35.6 billion, after the sale of 673,844 bags of coffee.
