Smallholder farmers delivering to Ndaroini Factory
Ndaroini Factory is a farmer-owned wet mill located in the Nyeri district of Central Kenya. It serves as a processing hub for over 700 to 1,400 smallholder farmers who cultivate coffee in the surrounding region.
Farm: Ndaroini Factory →History
The factory was established in 1984 by a group of local producers in Karatina who sought to reduce the long distances required to transport their coffee cherries. The name 'Ndaroini' is derived from Swahili, meaning 'place of rest,' reflecting the relief felt by farmers who no longer had to travel as far to deliver their harvest. It has since become a well-known facility within the Gikanda Farmers Co-operative Society.
