Farmers from Gatagua Coffee Farmers Cooperative Society in Murang’a County have received 30,000 coffee seedlings under the Revival of Coffee through Cooperative Societies Programme.
The distribution was carried out by New Kenya Planters Cooperative Union (New KPCU PLC) as part of a nationwide effort to boost coffee production.
The programme, led by New KPCU, targets to distribute 20 million certified high yield coffee seedlings each year. The aim is to reach more than 200,000 farmers across all 33 coffee-growing counties in Kenya.

This initiative is part of the government’s broader plan to revive the coffee sector by improving farm productivity and raising household incomes. It also focuses on strengthening cooperative societies to play a central role in rural economic transformation.
The distribution of seedlings is one of several interventions designed to restore Kenya’s coffee output and enhance the livelihoods of farmers who rely on coffee farming as their main source of income.
