Editorial illustration · not a verified farm photograph
This is a research profile, not an independently conducted farm visit. Producer and coffee relationships are shown only when the records agree. Check the research sources below for supporting evidence.
The story
The Kii Factory was constructed in 1995 to serve local coffee growers. It is owned and operated by the Rungeto Farmers Cooperative Society, which was established in 1997 to reinvigorate coffee production in the area and currently manages three distinct processing mills.
Challenges
The factory faces the ongoing need to maintain high quality standards through rigorous cherry sorting and sustainable water management practices.
Innovations
The cooperative has implemented quality-focused measures including the installation of tiles on washing channels to improve hygiene and the implementation of water recycling systems to clean and reuse river water.

Published coffees linked to this farm
For blends, a farm may be named for one documented component without growing the entire coffee. These catalog relationships do not independently verify every lot, harvest or producer. See individual coffee profiles for traceability evidence.
