Charles Mutwiri of Mukarimu Coffee Estates in Meru has returned from the US, where he had gone to look for new coffee markets and benchmarking.

Mr Mutwiri is one of the biggest individual coffee farmers in the country, and due to his experience, he was appointed the New Kenya Planters Cooperative Union (KPCU) director.

He flew back to the country from California, where he had gone to meet buyers interested in Kenyan coffee, and he has good news.
