One idea, in simple words
Coffee reaches our cups because someone grows it. At Tenges, in Kenya’s Baringo County, growers work together in a cooperative. FAO told their story on the first of October. The support includes training in caring for coffee plants and managing their shared work. Both skills matter when people run a business together. [1]
A 2023 grant supported seventeen portable machines that separate fruit pulp from coffee beans. This is one step in processing the harvest. Think of a tool shared by several people. The recent story describes work already under way: the machines did not all arrive this week. The information comes from organisations supporting the programme. [2]
