Three Kenyan farms have been ranked among the world’s best specialty coffee producers for 2017, putting farmers on the path to better earnings, reports the Daly Nation.
Kabare AA, produced by the Kabare farmers’ cooperative society in Kirinyaga was ranked fourth on Coffee Review’s list of Top 30 with a score of 97 points out of 100.
AA is the highest grade of Kenya coffee based on bean size and freedom from physical imperfections.
Riakiberu AB came in at position 20 with 95 points. The coffee was produced by Kamacharia farmers’ cooperative society in Murang’a.
And, Baragu farmers’ cooperative society in Kirinyaga was selected as the number 25 coffee of the top 30 list.
The rankings were, however, a drop compared to 2016 when seven farms were ranked among the world’s best by Coffee Review, an online publication that analyses the quality of beans globally.
