When coffee first arrived in Kenya in 1893, it was an instant success. Having found a sweet spot in the country’s high altitude areas, it would shape the country’s economy and history. A century later, it was contributing nearly half of the country’s foreign exchange earnings according to the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS).
But in the 1990s, the sector was shaken. Dipping global prices coupled with changing weather patterns turned the coffee boom into bust.
But new production practices and a rising demand in key markets, have helped to turn the tide, restoring hopes and livelihoods.
A certification programme by the Rainforest Alliance that integrates agroforestry, water conservation, and biodiversity protection, is bearing fruit.
In 2024, the country’s coffee exports grew by 12%, earning the country KSHS 38.4 billion or US$296.8 million, compared to US$251 million in 2023.
This, an assurance of a steady supply of the aromatic beverage for coffee lovers globally.
