President William Ruto has told coffee farmers that the government plans to increase earnings from the current average of Sh158 per kg to between Sh250 and Sh300 in the coming years.
Ruto said this plan aims at reviving Kenya's struggling coffee sector.
Speaking in Kianyaga, Kirinyaga County, during the launch of a coffee revival programme, Ruto said his administration had already made notable progress in improving returns to farmers but acknowledged that more reforms were needed to make coffee farming profitable again.
