The coffee story
Chepnorio Farmers Co-operative society was registered on June 27 1985 under the leadership of Mr. Cheruiyot Rono and some membership of 30 farmers. The society initially used to produce 50,000 kilos of coffee cherry with little payment of around ksh.7.00 per kilo. Over the years they have grown exponentially with a vision and desire to improve the living standards of its members. To date the society has an average production capacity of 770,000 kilos of coffee cherry a season and the average pay for every kilo of cherry delivered has grown to almost ksh.80.00. The society in 2017 opened a new processing unit and now has four operational factories through which the farmers expect to further increase their income by adding value to their produce through primary processing. The societies headquarters is situated in Ma-gire sub location, Chilchilla ward, Kericho County. The society now benefits an additional 400 farmers of the societies total of 900. Of these 102 farmers are members of the youth group and 94 are women. Overtime the society has also purchased a tractor to aid in transportation of their produce as well as farm inputs.
