I was directed to an article in The Standard about changes to the Kenyan coffee system that apparently are taking effect immediately…
Is Kenya taking a learning lesson from Ethiopia, and not doing the same thing? It looks like this is a good thing – something which will increase transparency and traceability in Kenyan Coffees – something that the new ECX in Ethiopia has made difficult over the past year or so.
Through the article mentioned above is thin in terms of detail, I think that this is a great step for creating a sustainable system of coffee, equitable to the ones who grow and process it, that is open and where price can be based on quality.
