Kenya Coffee:
Kenya is the 17th largest producer of coffee in the world.
The coffee industry of Kenya is noted for its cooperative
system of milling, marketing, and auctioning coffee, and
for its high percentage of production from small farms. It
is estimated that six-million Kenyans are employed
directly or indirectly in the coffee industry. The major
coffee growing regions in Kenya are the High Plateaus
around Mt. Kenya, the Aberdare Range, Kisii, Nyanza,
Bungoma, Nakuru and Kericho. The high plateaus of
Mount Kenya, plus the acidic soil provide excellent
conditions for growing coffee plants. Coffee from Kenya
is well known for its intense flavor, full body, and
pleasant aroma.

History:
Despite its proximity to Ethiopia (widely believed to be
the region from which coffee originated), coffee was not
cultivated in Kenya until 1893, when French Holy Ghost
Fathers introduced coffee trees from Reunion Island. The
mission farms near Nairobi, the capital city of Kenya,
were used as the nucleus around which Kenyan coffee
growing developed.
