Kiangoi Coffee Factory functions as a wet mill where local smallholder farmers, who typically manage small plots with around 100 trees each, bring their harvests. It is part of the Rungeto FCS, an umbrella organization that manages processing and marketing for its member factories. The cooperative has focused on rebuilding the local coffee community and maintaining quality standards through centralized management.
