PREFACE

Coffee exports during the year was 47,957 MT GBE, an increase from 42,858 MT GBE the year 2021/2022, while imports reduced to 1,392 MT GBE from 3,769 MT GBE the previous year. The value of exports was USD 252.12 Million. Domestic consumption level increased from 1722 MT of the year 2021/2022 to 2050 MT within the current this an increase of 19% Similarly the number of coffee houses increased from 506 to 791 houses.

During the Coffee Year 2022/2023 a total of 48,649 MT of clean coffee was produced compared to 51,853 MT recorded in the year 2021/2022, a decline of 6%. This was attributable to erratic weather pattern and biannual coffee production nature. The value of coffee produced was USD 204.5 Million. It is projected that during the year 2023/2024,

production will be 54,800 MT of clean coffee. This is attributable to the concerted effort by the government in ensuring availability of fertilizer and increased access to extension knowledge.

Despite the decline in production, the area under coffee increased to 111,902 Ha from 109,400 Ha in the previous year. The increase in area under coffee production was as a result of provision and access to good quality coffee seedlings by the growers. There were 605 cooperative societies with 1,122 factories. The highest pay-out rate was KES 102.05 per Kg of cherry. Average pay-out rate for the year was KES 71.97 per Kg of cherry.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

In the coffee year 2022/2023, global coffee production rose by 0.1% to 168.2 million bags. The world of coffee is divided between the growing Americas and the contracting rest of the world, a growth rate that belies the significant shifts occurring at the regional level. The 4.7% and 7.2% declines in production in Asia & Oceania and Africa, to 49.84 million bags and 17.9 million bags, respectively, can be ascribed to unfavorable weather that has a detrimental impact on important producers in the regions, especially Vietnam, Côte d’Ivoire, Uganda and Kenya. The Americas, particularly South America’s 4.8% gain, which was mostly driven by Brazil’s 8.4% increase in biannual production, completely offset the size of the decline in the two regions’ outputs (ICO, 2023).

Africa’s coffee production decreased by 7.2% in coffee year 2022/23 to 17.9 million bags, from 19.3 million bags in the previous coffee year, with the market share of the world’s output falling slightly to 10.6% from 11.5%. Kenya is the third largest Arabica producer in Africa, and its output decreased by 6% to 0.81 million bags in coffee year 2022/23 from 0.86 million bags. This occurred because of drought and Coffee Berry Disease in the Central Highlands which is a main coffee growing area. The total area under coffee during the year 2022/2023 was 111,902 Ha with a production of 48,649 MT of clean coffee valued at USD 204.5 million. The top five producing Counties were Kiambu (19.45 %), Kirinyaga (17,28%), Nyeri (12.98%), Murang’a (10.54%) and Kericho (9.71%). It is projected that there will be an increase of production in 2024/2025 to 54,800 MT.

Coffee producers in Kenya are categorized into cooperative societies and estates (medium and large scale). During the 2022/2023 coffee year there were 2,584 active estates. The smallholder

farmers are distributed across the 637 cooperatives. The coffee value chain involves various players both from the government and private sector. These players participate directly or indirectly in commercial activities involving coffee in their areas of operations, hence supporting rural economy. The socioeconomic benefit of coffee subsector is critical given its contribution to foreign exchange earnings, agro-processing, infrastructure and social investments, job creation and food security. Specifically, coffee contributes 0.3% to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), hence a major source of livelihood to Kenya and rest of the world (KNBS, 2023).

1.1 Introduction of Coffee to Kenya

Coffee was introduced by The Holy Ghost Fathers of the French Catholic Church who initially brought the Bourbon seeds to mainland Tanzania (notably Bagamoyo and Morogoro) in 1863 and were finally introduced to Kenya through Bura Taita Hills in Kenya during the 1890s. During the same period, the protestant Scottish missionaries were planting the Mocha plants to experiment on them in their respective stations including Kibwezi and Kikuyu (Mureithi, 2008). A special variety of coffee named “French Mission” coffee, was selected through many years of coffee cultivation under different environmental. Coffee was then planted in restricted to few estates and the natives were not allowed to cultivate it. Currently coffee is grown in 33 counties spread within Central, Eastern, Rift Valley, Western, Coast and Nyanza Regions. Coffee is grown in high altitude areas of 1400-2200 Meters above sea level (a.s.l) with temperatures ranging from 15 to 24 0C coupled with rainfall average range of (900-1400) mm per annum.

1.2 Coffee Growing Areas.

Coffee is grown in 33 counties categorized into regions namely, Central and Nairobi, North Rift, Central & South Rift, Lower Eastern, Western and Nyanza. This is illustrated in Figure 1.

Figure 1: Coffee Growing Areas and Coffee Directorate Regional Offices

1.3 Coffee varieties

Kenya predominantly produces Arabica coffee with less than 1% of the total production being Robusta coffee. The Arabica coffee varieties include two improved coffee varieties (Batian and Ruiru 11) which are disease-resistant, and three traditional coffee varieties (SL28, SL34, and K7) which are susceptible to major coffee diseases. Robusta is grown in the low-altitude regions, around the Lake Victoria Basin.

Arabica coffee varieties

Arabica coffee (Coffea Arabica)

Batian: This variety was released in 2010. It has tall traits with characteristics resembling those of Cultivar SL28 in its vegetative aspects. The endosperm of the beans is green, big, bold, and the center cut is primarily single and straight. It is characterized by good beans with high cup quality. The variety is resistant to both CBD and CLR. Batian is planted at a density of 1905 trees/ Ha.

Ruiru 11: This variety was released in 1985 with the prefix “Ruiru” which indicates the breeding place, and code numbers “11” stand for the first release and one-way cross, respectively. It has a compact growth characteristic with resistance to Coffee Berry Disease (CBD) and Coffee Leaf Rust (CLR). The planting density is 2500–3300 trees/ha as opposed to 1300 trees/ha for traditional types.

SL 28 cultivar: This variety was selected from the Tanganyika drought-resistant genotypes at the Scott Laboratories, which is now the National

Agricultural Research Laboratories (NARL). The variety has bold beans with fine liquor suited for medium to high altitudes and its cup quality is excellent. Its shoot tips are green but sometimes bronze and the young primaries insertion angle is primarily semi-erect. SL28 produces a high yield and its planting density is 1300 trees/Ha. The variety is susceptible to CBD, CLR, and Bacterial Blight of Coffee (BBC).

The SL 34 variety: The variety was selected from French Mission Coffee at the former Scott Laboratories. It is primarily distinguished by dark bronze shoot tips with a small number of green-tipped strains. It is well-suited to highaltitude regions with heavy rainfall. It is a high yielder and of excellent coffee cup quality with a planting density of 1300trees/Ha however, it is susceptible to CBD and CLR.

K7 Variety: The variety was selected at Lengetet Estate in Muhoroni. It has good bean and liquor qualities and is suitable for low-altitude zones where Leaf Rust is prevalent. It is resistant to some races of Coffee Leaf Rust and partially resistant to Coffee Berry Disease. The variety is a high yielder with a planting density of 1300 trees/Ha. The tree’s young shoot tips have an intermediate bronze color.

Robusta coffee

Robusta coffee (Coffea canephora) is cultivated in low altitude zones and is characterized by its beans having a stronger, bolder flavor compared to Arabica coffee. It is a high yielding coffee species when compared to Arabica species.

1.4 Players in the Coffee Sub Sector

There are a number of public institutions involved in the development, regulation and promotion of the coffee subsector in the country. These include National Government Ministries & Departments and Semi-Autonomous Government agencies. These include Office of the Deputy President, Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development, State Department for Agriculture, Ministry of Cooperatives and Micro Small & Medium Enterprises (MSME) Development, Investment, Trade & Industry, Foreign & Diaspora Affairs, National Treasury & Planning, State department of irrigation, State department of Youth Affairs, EAC and all the County Governments.

Agriculture and Food Authority (AFA)-Coffee Directorate (CD) is the regulator of the coffee subsector in Kenya. Key Government Agencies supporting the subsector include The Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization (KALRO)-Coffee Research Institute (CRI), Kenya Trade Network Agency (Ken Trade), Kenya Export Promotion and Branding Agency (KEPROBA), Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service (KEPHIS), Capital Markets Authority (CMA), Nairobi Coffee Exchange (NCE), New Kenya Planters Cooperative Union (NKPCU), among others. Private sector stakeholders involved include; smallholder coffee growers, estate growers, cooperative societies, coffee buyers, brokers,

coffee millers, warehousemen, roasters, traders, retail chains, coffee houses, certification agents, financial institutions and Non-Governmental Organizations play key role in the coffee value chain.

Smallholder coffee farmers are organized into cooperative societies for primary processing, and marketing. Co-operative societies are member-based private entities but have public interest. Medium and large scale producers are categorized as estates. During the year 2022/2023, the number of active estates were 2,749 while co-operative societies were 605 with a total of 1,122 factories. The role of Cooperatives is to produce, aggregate, undertake primary processing, transport, market, and facilitate access to finance and farm input for members. However, over the recent past, some coffee cooperatives societies have shown institutional and governance weakness leading to poor financial management and administration resulting to high levels of operational costs and indebtedness. During the crop year 2022/2023, there were 236 licensed coffee nurseries to raise coffee seedlings for planting.

In 2022/2023, twenty-one (21) commercial coffee millers were licensed by the respective county governments to mill coffee for growers as shown in Table 1. All growers entered into milling agreements with respective millers before milling activities and Millers were obligated to provide milling reports to the growers.

Eighteen (18) grower marketers were licensed to market their own coffee through the direct sale (second window) as shown in Table 2. This was a transitional year as the industry pursued full implementation of the Crops (Coffee)(General) Regulations, 2019, which abolished the Coffee Marketing Agents and replaced them with Brokers.

Table 3 lists commercial marketing agents and brokers that were licensed to offer coffee at the Nairobi Coffee Exchange (NCE) on behalf of growers.

During the same period, the Coffee Directorate licensed 154 coffee buyers to buy coffee through the central auction at the Nairobi Coffee Exchange (NCE). Eighteen (18) Coffee warehousemen were licensed to provide safe and secure storage of clean coffee either privately or on a commercial basis as shown in appendix 10. The movement of clean coffee destined for export is facilitated by the Coffee Directorate through issuance of clean coffee movement permits.

Players in the coffee value chain undertake various roles and are interlinked in their roles from the farm to the cup. Figure 2 shows the interrelationships of the various players along the value chain.

Figure 2: General Coffee Value Chain

2.0 PRODUCTION AND PROCESSING

2.1 Growers Distribution (Cooperative and Estates)

During the coffee year under review, there were 605 societies, 1,122 factories affiliated cooperatives and 2,749 active estates (Table 4). The grower distribution is within the 33 coffee growing counties.

Table 4: Number of Estates, Cooperatives and Factories per County

2.2 Area under Coffee

During the coffee year, the total area under coffee for estates and smallholder farmers in cooperatives was 111,902 Ha, up from 109,400 Ha in the previous coffee year. This translates to an increase of 2,502 Ha (2.29%). The area under smallholder farmers reduced from 84,025.90 Ha in 2021/2022 to 83,779 Ha in 2022/2023. The total area under estates increased from 25,288.40

Ha in 2021/2022 to 28,123 Ha in 2022/2023.

Kiambu County had the largest area under coffee at 18.2% of the total national area under coffee. Other top Counties were Kirinyaga (9.1%), Nyeri (8.9%), Murang’a (8.5%), Meru (7.9%), Machakos (7.2%) and Bungoma (7.2%). Table 5 shows the area under coffee per county and grower category.

Table 5: Area under Coffee per County and Grower

2.3 Coffee Nurseries Distribution

Coffee nurseries provide seedlings either from seeds or grafting. The nurseries are licensed by the County Governments pursuant to the Crops Act No. 16 of 2013 and The Crops (Coffee) (General) Regulations, 2019.

2.3.1 Coffee Nurseries per County

In 2022/2023, demand for planting materials continued to increase as more farmers expanded their coffee farms especially in the West of the Rift while others converted their farm plantations to improved coffee varieties. Significantly, grafted Ruiru 11 had the highest demand with most nurseries being owned by cooperative societies. Table 6 shows the distribution of licensed coffee nurseries by county. Uasin Gishu County was the leading with 28 nurseries owing to the new area for expansion both within the county and neighboring ones. Kirinyaga and Kericho counties were second and third with 25 and 23 nurseries respectively.

2.3.2 Coffee Seedlings Distribution Per County

A total of 4,913,448 seedlings were raised in various nurseries during the coffee year 2022/2023 across the country. Batian Variety was high in spatial and numbers available totaling 2,715,317. Traditional varieties; SL 28, SL 34 and K7 were 1,805,679. Ruiru 11 and Robusta were available but lower numbers at 362,452 and 30,000 respectively. However, Robusta seedlings were only found in Busia County where majority of Robusta production is domiciled. Nandi County had the highest

Table 6: Coffee Nurseries per County

number of seedlings in total while Laikipia County had the lowest. Nine coffee growing counties did not have nurseries hence depended on neighboring counties for expansion or gapping of their farms. This is illustrated in Table 7. It is worth noting that seedlings raised by nurseries within a county are not necessarily planted in that county but could be sold across the Country.

7: Coffee Seedlings per Variety per County

2.4 Cherry, Buni and Parchment Production

There are regions with two distinct seasons and regions with one season based on the rainfall pattern. Generally, the flowering periods are September/October for early crop and February/ March for late crop. The harvesting periods are May to July for early crop and September to December for late crop. The ratio of early to late crop is estimated in recent years as 45:55.

Coffee production is undertaken under two categories of growers namely cooperatives and

estates. Smallholder farmers deliver, process and market coffee through cooperative societies while estates undertake all processing and marketing of coffee on their own.

A total of 215 million Kgs of cherry were produced during the year by the small holder coffee farmers who deliver to the cooperative societies. In addition, over 7 million Kgs of Buni and 299,256 Kgs of parchment were produced by the cooperative societies (Table 8).

Table 8: Cherry, Buni and Parchment Production for Cooperatives Per County

2.5 Cherry, Buni and Parchment Payout Rates

The average national payout rates for cherry during the year 2022/2023 was KES 71.97 per Kg excluding counties that do not report cherry payment. The average payment for Buni and Parchment was KES 192.3 and KES 354.1 respectively. Parchment was reported in three Counties; Kakamega Nuru FCS KES 356, Laikipia Ngarua FCS, KES 324, Bomet, Emityot FCS KES

335. Vihiga reported on Buni only with payout rate of KES 70 for JEBROCK FCS.

Table 9 indicates highest cherry payout rates per county realized during the year 2022/2023. Gakuyu-ini factory of Thirikwa FCS in Kirinyaga county had the highest payout rate of KES 102.05 per Kg of cherry.

Table 9: Highest Cherry Payout

2.6 Clean Coffee Production

In the year 2021/2022, the Country experienced the highest production within the ten-year period as shown in Figure 4. The Country’s production reduced by 3,204 MT of clean coffee in the year 2022/2023 from 51,853 MT to 48,649 MT attributable to harsh weather conditions that accelerated the infestation of CBD especially

in the central region of the country. Coffee Directorate, County Governments and other sector players disseminated information on good agricultural practices (GAPs). The usage of subsidized fertilizer and pesticides contributed towards the reduction of heavy loss that was eminent.

2.6.1 Clean Coffee Production per County

A total of 48,648,541.03 Kgs of clean coffee was produced during the year 2022/2023 with cooperatives producing 34,488,092.45 Kgs while estates produced 14,160,448.58 Kgs. Kiambu was the leading county in production followed by Kirinyaga and Nyeri respectively both Nationally and in the East of Rift. Kericho and Bungoma were the leading counties in production in the West of rift as shown in Table 10.

Figure 3: Coffee production trend for ten years.

Table 10: Clean Coffee Production per County and Grower Category

Figure 5 further shows the trend of clean coffee production over the last 10 years. Kenya’s coffee production has been skewed towards the small-scale growers across the years by a 10-year average ratio of about 30:70 for estates and cooperatives respectively.

2.7 Coffee Quality

2.7.1 Grading of Kenyan Coffee

The practice of harvesting uniformly ripe cherries, which are then further sorted and processed within 24 hours is the first step in quality control for Kenyan coffee. Different grades of parchment, P1, P2, P3 and PL are generated by

based on size, shape and density. Screens with round perforations are used for size-grading of the flat coffee bean while slotted perforations are used for size-grading of the pea berries. Density difference is graded through gravity separator. These grades include E, AA, AB, PB, C, TT and T. The Buni is classified into two categories: Buni Heavy (MH) and Buni Light (ML). When a coffee grade is specified, a minimum 95 % of the beans falls in that grade category. Table 12 shows coffee grades, grading and standardized

2.7.2 Quality analysis of Kenyan Coffee

Kenya Coffee is analyzed by two methods namely Devonshire or Specialty Coffee Association.

(i) Devonshire (Kenyan Method)

Grading by size and shape is only a fair estimate of coffee quality. The actual quality is assessed by experienced coffee cuppers after roasting brewing a sample of the coffee already graded by size. These is assessed on raw bean quality (colour and size to the grade specified), the roast quality (general appearance and centre cut)and Liqour (a combination of acidity, body ,flavor, aroma and aftertaste).

Average class is the mean of scores of each attribute while overall class is determined by the average scores of the attributes of Raw, Roast and Liquor.

(ii) Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) Cupping Method

This is carried out by Q Graders who are licensed by Coffee Quality Institute. This method selects specialty coffees with a score of 80 and above points for the specialty market. Coffee is analyzed based on several aspects on the cupping form below;

Figure 1: Coffee Quality Grading

2.7.3 Kenya Coffee Flavor

Profiles

Known for its consistently rich flavor along with a deep, wine-like acidity and pleasant aroma, Kenyan coffee beans have distinctly bright taste with complex tones of fruit and berry. However, Kenyan coffees have a huge range of flavors and

nuances depending on the region, varietal and processing methods used. The best Kenyan coffees can have a full spectrum of flavors to those with a well-developed palate. Various regions have varied attributes that determines the profiles.

For the creation of these profiles, only washed coffee is used to assess the flavors at their cleanest point. Several coffee estates and washing stations were chosen from each coffee growing counties. When cupping, only the main similar flavors from each cupped county were recorded. Table 14 shows cup profiles for selected counties.

2.8 Emerging Coffee Processing Methods

Kenya coffee processing has been mostly Washed and Natural (Buni). Following the current market shifts where the consumers are now keen on flavours, several growers are adopting to the new processing methods that enhance the coffee flavours. The processing methods include; Naturals, Carbonic Maceration, Anaerobic and Honey.

Naturals sundried, also called “natural process” or “dry process,” means drying coffee cherries whole without intervention of water or machines to remove any of the fruit. Prior to drying, the cherries are picked, floated in water, and sorted to remove any under-ripe or overripe fruit (Figure 6).

Anaerobic fermentation is coffee processing method where coffee is fermented in pressurized sealed tanks deprived of oxygen. This lack of oxygen produces lactic acids that create different and distinct flavor profile for the coffee (Figure 7).

Carbonic maceration is a process where coffee is fermented in a carbon-dioxide rich environment. After being picked, coffee cherries are placed in an airtight container (Figure 8).

Honey process is where fresh coffee cherries are de-pulped and allowed to dry without washing (Figure 9). Most of the mucilage is gone, but the remaining golden, sticky mucilage is reminiscent of honey, which is where the process gets its name. Based on the percentage of mucus adherence honey coffee is categorized as: Red Honey: 50-90% of the mucus adheres to the rice husk, Black Honey: 90-100% of the mucilage adheres to the rice husk, White Honey: 10-15% of the mucus adheres to the rice husk and Yellow Honey has 15-50% of mucus clinging to the rice husk.

2.9 Crop Forecast for 2023/2024 Coffee Year

Crop forecast is carried out based on; analysis of production trends, weather patterns and its effect on coffee, scientific estimation from the bearing crop, visual observation on crop status and observations from coffee growers and millers. Coffee growing Counties are clustered into regions namely Central Kenya, Lower Eastern, Upper Eastern, Central and South Rift, North rift, Western and Nyanza. The regions have diverse environmental conditions hence production trend differ from one region to the other.

The production level for the year 2023/2024 is expected to increase to 54,800 MT of clean coffee. The projections indicate that there will be an increase of 13% compared to the year under review. During the coffee year 2022/2023, the weather was favorable for coffee production in most regions. There were adequate rains which

led to good flowering and heavy crop. This was coupled with expansion of area under coffee in western part of the country especially North Rift region. Cherry fund by the government through NKPCU enabled timely access of recommended farm inputs by growers

Selected counties such as Kiambu, Murang’a, Kirinyaga, Nyeri and Laikipia experienced prolonged cold and wet conditions from April to August 2023. The conditions led to increased cases of CBD infections, CLR and BBC which may affect optimal achievement of production. However, the industry players provided timely advisory information on disease management which averted major crop losses. Table 15 shows the forecast for the coffee year 2023/2024 by Counties and grower category.

Table 15: Crop Forecast for 2023/2024 Coffee Year

2.10 Cost of Production and Gross Margin

The high management level production costs for Ruiru 11 and Batian were KES 31 while the farmer at the average level production, costs were KES 36 and KES 39 respectively. The cost of production for traditional varieties for high management level was KES 39 and the average farmer was KES 41 and KES 48 respectively. The average cost of processing and other cooperative operational costs in the 3 levels were KES 14.8 per Kg. A management cost of 5% of the total production cost was considered to act opportunity cost to the farmer if he was doing other on farm or off farm activities and receiving a payment for the same.

The gross margin per acre for Ruiru 11 at the high management level was KES 274,221 and KES 207,589, for Batian while at the average the gross margins were KES 108,561 for Ruiru 11 and KES 71,532 for Batian respectively. The gross margin per acre at the high management level for traditional varieties was KES 103,557 KES 45,743 average management and KES 41,198 for the low management level respectively.

The gross margin for the traditional varieties (SL 28, SL 34 and K7) was lower compared to the

improved varieties and cost of production was higher and this was attributed by the increasing cost of fungicides and since these varieties are susceptible to CBD and CLR, farmers have to incur costs of spraying against these two diseases.

The cost of inputs especially fertilizer in 2022 was high a 50 Kg bag of NPK was costing at KES 6,500 from KES 5,000 in 2020/21 and CAN KES 5,600 from KES 4,000 but in December 2022, the Government announced a subsidy program that offered farmers fertilizer at a discounted price of KES 3,500 per bag.

Though the farmers enjoyed the subsidized inputs in 2022/2023, coffee prices dropped from an average of KES 72 in June 2021/22 to KES 58 per kg of cherry in June 2022/2023, therefore reducing profitability of coffee by KES 14 per kg.

Table 16 shows cost of production at three management levels. The farmer producing at 10 Kgs per tree is at high management level, while the farmer producing at 5 kg is at an average management level and at 2 Kgs per tree is at low management level.

Table 16: Cost of Production and Gross Margin Analysis

3.0 COFFEE MARKETING AND DOMESTIC CONSUMPTION

3.1 Market Structure and Trends

The evolving nature of the coffee market and demand for high quality coffee for specialty coffee segment is of great importance. Priority concerns for Kenya’s coffee industry stakeholders are quality, sustainability and stable supply. Producers and buyers often use certifications to promote their products. The growing demand for traceability and transparency in the value chain as well as the expanding digital marketplaces enhances direct coffee trade between local producers and foreign buyers. In Kenya and in the rest of the world, multinational companies are involved in coffee trading, and roasting further consolidates the market, putting pressure on prices along the entire chain.

3.2 Market Segmentation

The Kenyan coffee market is structured in to five key segments namely the traditional, specialty, regional, emerging and domestic markets.

3.2.1

Traditional market

This market segment covers the countries within the European Union (EU) namely Germany, Belgium and Sweden. The segment consumes both the specialty coffee and the commercial grade. The EU trading bloc forms the main component of the Traditional Market segment. During the year 2022/2023, the segment commanded 53% of Kenya’s total exports totaling to 25,229.2 MT.

3.2.2 Specialty Market

The specialty coffee market segment includes USA and Japan. This market consumes high quality coffees (premium coffee grades Kenya AA, AB and PB) and usually pay high prices for the same. The USA and Japan combined, account for 25% of all coffee exported; USA imported 11,228 MT (23%) while Japan imported 569 MT (2%) of all coffee exported in the year 2022/2023.

3.2.3 Emerging Market

The emerging market segment covers countries in the Gulf Region such as United Arab Emirates (UAE), Israel, Iran, Oman, and Jordan. The Gulf Region market mostly consumes MH, ML and T while Korea imports both specialty coffees and the commercial coffee grades. The Emerging markets in the year 2022/2023 had a market share of 25% which accounted for 11,499 MT. The potential markets for Kenya’s coffee include countries in Africa such as Djibouti, Eritrea, Rwanda, South Sudan, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Egypt, DRC and Zambia. Countries such as Saudi Arabia, Israel, Jordan and Syria have shown immense interest in Kenya’s coffee over the last few years.

3.2.4 Domestic market

This is the local market for the Kenya coffee. The culture for coffee drinking has not been well developed. To promote domestic consumption of Kenyan coffee among the Kenyans, the

Directorate adopted a strategy of partnering with the institution of higher learning (Universities and colleges) to trigger the youth into coffee drinking culture. The domestic consumption level in the country increased to 4.3% of the national production in 2022/2023. The consumption grew from 1,722 MT to 2,050 MT which is translated to a growth of 19% as compared to the previous year.

3.2.5 Regional Market

The regional market comprises of countries within the African continent. Over the years, exports across Africa have been below 500 MT bar the year 2021/2022 where a total of 1,694 MT were exported. In the year 2022/2023, a total of 297.15 MT was exported to countries across the region which represented a drop of 82% as compared to the previous year mainly due to the cyclic nature of the Tunisian market. In the 2022/2023 coffee year, market comprised of South Africa, Somalia, Congo Democratic Republic, Nigeria, Rwanda and Gambia.

3.3 Coffee Marketing

There are two systems of marketing coffee in Kenya which include auction and direct sales systems. Currently, about 60% of Kenyan Coffee is traded at the Nairobi Coffee Exchange under the auction system while 40% is traded through the direct sales. Table 17 shows marketed volumes and value for the past 10 years. The general trend indicate that the volumes of coffee offered through direct sales have been increasing over the years from 8,282 MT in 2013/2014 to 9,350 MT in the year 2022/2023.

The highlighted performance in comparison to the 2021/2022 season, volume, value and average price in both auction and direct sales recorded declines due to a brief period of restructuring where the coffee reforms were taking effect after withdrawal of direct sale licenses. This led to a 3-month period of no direct sale transactions and thus the drop-in volumes and consequent drops in value from last season’s as shown in table 17.

Table 17: Auction and Direct Sales Summary

3.3.1 Coffee Auction Overall Performance

Overall, over the last few years, performance of the auction has been on a general uptrend from 2019/2020 through to 2021/2022 an overall upturn in volumes of 60% across the period. However, in the year 2022/2023 there was a recorded decline of 16% in auction volumes as compared to the year 2021/2022 that is from 38,970 MT to 32,652 MT. This could be attributed to the 3-month break during the actualization of the coffee reforms. The auction is expected to return to normalcy in the year 2023/2024. Figure 10 shows a ten-year trend of auction volume and value.

3.3.2 Auction Performance by Month

The best performance was observed in the month of February 2023 where an average of USD 221.19 per 50 Kg bag was observed against total value and volumes of USD 30.31 Million and 6.85 MT respectively. The highest price for the season was also recorded in February with at USD 686 Per 50 Kg bag (Table 18).

Source: NCE (2023)

N/B: The Months of June and July were transitional hence brokers and buyers had not commenced coffee trading while marketing agencies and dealers had their licences expired.

Figure 10: Overall Auction by Volume (MT) and Value (Million USD)

Table 18: Monthly Auction Performance

3.3.3 Performance by Grade

The highest average price per grade was realized for grade AA at USD 241.76 per 50 Kg bag while the lowest average price per grade was for miscellaneous grades at USD 65. Grade AB posted the highest volumes and value in the auction in the 2022/2023 season with 12,630,452 Kgs with a corresponding value of USD 53.96 million as shown in Table 19.

Table 19: Distribution of Grades in the Auction (Volumes & Value)

8,241,172.20

3.3.4 Performance by Marketing Agents and Brokers – Auction Sales In the 2022/2023 coffee auction, the top performing marketing Agents were Tropical Farm Management (24%), Coffee management Services (22%) and Sucastainability (14%) made up the top 3 with a combined market share of 60%. The top three performing brokers were Meru County Coffee Marketing Agency Limited (0.73%), New Kenya Planters Co-operative Union PLC (0.39%) and United Eastern Kenya Coffee Marketing Co. Ltd (0.33%). The Brokers replaced the marketing

agents and offered coffee to the auction on behalf of farmers.

Tropical Farm Management had the highest average price at USD 206.90 while among the brokers, the highest average was by Meru County Marketing at USD 200.75 per 50 Kg bag.

Table 20: Marketing Agents and Brokers Summary

3.3.5 Marketing Agents Performance – Direct Sales

Direct sales in the 2022/2023 season recorded an overall average price of USD 259.73 against a total volume of 9,350 MT and a corresponding total value of USD 48.57 Million. Tropical Farm Management Limited was the highest performer in direct sales with 4,111 MT traded corresponding to a value of USD 18.94 Million. The highest average direct sale price recorded was by United Eastern Coffee Marketing Company with a price of USD 635 per 50 Kg bag.

The highest direct sale average price was recorded for the AA, AB and PB premium coffees at US$ 450 while the lowest average was USD 79.65 for grade SB. Notably, there is a marked increase in the volumes of Naturals that were being exported through direct sales. Similarly, blends of various grades were being exported and pointed to consumer/buyer preferences for Kenyan blends as opposed to consignments of single bean categories as shown in Table 22.

3.3.7 Overall Performance by Grade

A total of 42,001 MT was traded across both windows (Auction and Direct Sales) in the 2022/23 coffee year with a corresponding value of USD 176.43 million (Table 23). In comparison to the previous year (2021/2022), this represented a drop in both volumes and value which dropped by 17% and 43% respectively from 50,631 MT and USD 311.88 million respectively. The overall outlook on the Auction and Direct Sales grade

performance highlights the large volumes of the AB grade traded through both the Auction and Direct Sales window. A total of 15,343 MT was traded with a corresponding value of USD 69.54 Million. The highest average price recorded per grade was USD 262.96 per 50 Kg bag for the AA grade (Table 23).

3.3.8 Performance by Marketing Agents – Auction and Direct Sales:

Table 24 shows the performance by individual marketers in the 2022/23 coffee year in both the Auction and Direct Sales. Tropical farm management traded the most volumes at 11,806 MT. A total of 42,001 MT was traded through both the Auction and Direct sales.

3.4 Coffee Exports

Coffee exports play a pivotal role in Kenya’s economy, emerging as one of the country’s most significant agricultural commodities. Renowned for its rich flavor profiles and high quality, Kenyan coffee has garnered international acclaim, contributing substantially to foreign exchange earnings and employment opportunities within the country.

3.4.1 Coffee Exports by Destination, Volume Value and Trends

In the coffee year 2022/2023 a total of 63 traders including growers exported their coffee amounting to 799,275 bags (60 kg bags) with a corresponding volume of 47,956,516.68 Kgs Green Been Equivalent (GBE). The average price per 60 Kg bag was USD 315.55. The export value for the year 2022/2023 was USD 252.12 Million equivalent to 34.11 Billion in Kenyan

shillings. There were 52 export destinations in the year 2022/2023 coffee year with the top 3 destinations being United States of America, Germany and Belgium.

The Figure 11 shows the overall trend of export volumes over 10-year period from the coffee year 2013/2014 to 2022/2023. Over the past 5 years, the coffee exports have been declining from 2018/19 through to 2021/22 where a slight increase of 2.5% was observed and followed by an increase of 12% in volumes exported in the 2022/23 coffee year that is from 42,858 MT to 47,957 in the 2021/22 and 2022/23 coffee years respectively.

Current trend suggests a positive outlook in the years to follow especially with the growing preference for specialty coffee across the world and with Kenya being right in the middle of the specialty coffee movement.

3.4.2 Export Earnings

Export earnings in USD reduced from 298.56 million USD in 2021/22 to 252.12 million USD in 2022/2023 a decline of 16%. However, due to the weakening of the shilling against the USD, the effect of the lower value in USD did not translate into Kenyan shillings as the value in Kenyan shillings remained somewhat similar with a slight dip of 1% from 34.37 billion Kenyan shillings to 34.11 billion Kenyan shillings. Export earning for ten years is presented in table 25.

Table 25: Ten Years’ Export earnings

3.4.3 Export Destination by Volume and value

In the coffee year 2022/2023 coffee was exported to 52 destinations. Kenya gained ten export destinations in the year 2022/2023, however five export destinations that were there the previous coffee year were missed. Among the destinations lost were Tunisia, Bahrain, Burundi, Egypt and Guatemala. The loss of export destinations is attributed to cyclic and periodic export nature to the countries of concern.

The Table 26 shows the top ten destinations for Kenyan coffee in the 2022/2023 coffee year. The top ten destinations were USA (23%), Germany (17%), Belgium (11%), Sweden (9%), Korea, Republic Of (7%), Australia (4%), Netherlands (3%), Norway (2%), Denmark (2%0) and Finland (2%).

The rest, a total of 42 destinations accounted for 20% of the total coffee exported, that is 9,562 MT. The market share of the rest of the export destinations was 2% more as compared to last season’s 18% market share. The overall volumes exported to other nations other that the top 10 destinations increased by 26% signifying positive market diversification in terms of coffee exports by virtue of increased export destinations (10% increase) and an increase in the market share of nations that fall outside the top ten destinations for Kenyan coffee. Top ten destinations for a period of two years is shown in Table 26.

3.4.4 Export Performance by Regions/Blocs

Kenya’s trade in coffee has always been heavy on the European market and the same is evident in Table 27 that highlights trade in a 5-year period. Exports to Europe have accounted for 57% of the total exports in the last 5 years followed by North America (20%) and Asia (17%) as shown in Table 27. This points to a need for Kenya to undertake active market diversification and market expansion especially within the African continent where regional trade for coffee has consistently been low.

Table

Table 27: Export Volumes (MT) Performance by Regions/Blocs

3.4.5 Export Performance by Traders

In the period under review, a total of 52 traders exported coffee. Ibero similar to the previous season had the largest market share with 24%, completing the top five were; Taylor Winch (11%), C. Dorman SEZ (11%), Kenyacof Limited (9%), Tropical Farm (8%).

3.4.6 Coffee Exports by Form

Kenya has over the years been a net exporter of green unprocessed coffee and as is evident in Table 28. During the period under review, 96.81% of her coffee exports were in green coffee form while 3.19% were in processed form (Roasted and Soluble).

3.4.7 Coffee Exports by Form over the Last Ten Years:

Over the last 10-year period, Kenya’s green coffee exports have steadily been above 40,000 MT which has usually accounted for between 97% - 99% of the coffee exports while those of processed coffee have been fluctuating and low in the earlier years. However, over the last 5 years there has been a steady growth in the processed coffee exports due to more exporters working towards value addition before export. Most of the value-added coffee is still consumed locally as opposed to export. Figure 11 presents highlights on coffee export by form.

Table 28: Coffee Exports by Form

Figure 12: Coffee Exports by Form

3.4.8 Trend of Processed Coffee Exports

In the first seven years of the 10-year period under review as shown in Figure 13 below, processed coffee exports were peaked at an average of 57 MT. Processed coffee exports ranged from as low as two MT to a high of 169 MT in the first seven

years. This was the trend up until 2019/20 where the volumes of processed coffee exported increased 7-fold as compared to the previous year 2017/18 that is from 113.8 MT to 951.6 MT. During the 2022/23 coffee year the volumes of roasted coffee exported currently stand at 1,527.74 MT.

Since 2019/2020 exports of processed coffee have steadily trended above 900 MT. The trend in Figure 14 below has been positive with the trendline indicating expected continued growth in exports of processed coffee in years to come.

This aligns to well with the BETA Manifesto and the Vison 2030 which emphasize on value addition in agriculture. Value addition of coffee for export in Kenya is only in its infancy and if the trend continues, Kenya stands to earn higher foreign exchange as value added coffee earns more per kg as compared to green coffee.

Figure 13: Processed Coffee Exports

Figure 14: Processed Coffee Exports Trend

3.5 Coffee Imports

With a growing emphasis on value addition through roasting, Kenya imports coffee for value addition and blending of coffees where the blending techniques seek to enhance flavor profiles. In the 2022/23 coffee year Kenya imported a total of 1,392 MT of coffee.

Majority (90%) of Kenya’s imports originate from its East African counterparts; Uganda (41%), Congo, Democratic Republic (38%), Tanzania (9%), Rwanda (1.9%) and Ethiopia (0.1%). This strong inter-trade between the East African Community region further strengthens Kenya’s bilateral trade relationships with its counterparts. Table 30 below further highlights the imports by form and country origin.

Table 29: Coffee Imports by Form and Country of Origin

Regionally, Kenya majorly imports from across Africa (91%) followed by South America (4%), North America (3%), Europe (1%) and Asia (1%) as shown in Figure 15.

3.6 Domestic Coffee Consumption

Domestic coffee consumption goal as defined in the proposed National domestic coffee consumption strategy 2021 is to “Develop a coffee drinking culture among the middle-class’’ with the main output of increasing uptake to 2,500 MT by the year 2025 from 1,500 in the year 2019/2020.

The country has experienced growth in consumption from 1% of total production in 2010/2011 to 4.2% in 2022/23. Consumption grew from 1,722 MT in 2021/2022 to 2,051 MT in the 2022/2023 coffee year. This growth is attributable to the promotions conducted within universities and the engagement of Coffee Directorate in trade fairs and field days in various counties in Kenya targeting the youth. Figure 16 shows the trend in consumption over the last ten years.

Figure 15: Coffee Imports by Region

3.7 Kenyan Coffee Consumption Drivers

The consumption of Kenyan coffee within the local market is shaped by a multitude of factors, which can be categorized into four main groups: Product Attributes, Consumer Behavior, Market Dynamics, and Distribution and Dispensing Options.

Product Attributes

The quality of Kenyan coffee plays a pivotal role in driving local demand. Sustainable consumption hinges on the consistent delivery of high-quality Kenyan coffee that meets consumer expectations. Attributes such as sensory appeal, taste, appearance (influenced by packaging and branding), aroma, and texture influence the hedonic value of Kenyan coffee brands, thereby impacting repurchase interest among local consumers.

Figure 16: Domestic Coffee Consumption Trend for 10 Years

Consumer Behavior

Consumer engagement with Kenyan coffee is heavily influenced by individual behavior, shaped by personality traits and lifestyle choices. Beyond demographic factors, personality traits define preferences, attitudes, habits, beliefs, and perceptions, guiding purchase decisions. Socioeconomic status, including income levels, further shapes consumer lifestyles and purchasing behavior, influencing what, why, when, and how often individuals choose to buy Kenyan coffee.

Market Dynamics

Marketplace dynamics exert a significant influence on Kenyan coffee consumption. Effective brand communication strategies, including messaging design, media selection, and frequency of exposure, impact consumer perceptions and attitudes toward Kenyan coffee. Information accessibility regarding the availability, location, and recognition of Kenyan coffee brands also shapes consumption decisions. Competition from other coffee brands serves as a benchmark against which consumers evaluate Kenyan coffee, considering factors such as presentation, messaging, and overall satisfaction.

Distribution & Dispensing Options

The availability and accessibility of Kenyan coffee in various retail channels, the prevalence of coffee shops in key urban areas, baristas’ brewing skills, the affordability and availability of coffee-making equipment, and the design of takeaway coffee packaging collectively influence the place and form utility of Kenyan coffee. These factors determine the ease with which consumers can access and enjoy Kenyan coffee, thereby impacting consumption patterns.

3.8 Number of Coffee Houses

The increasing number of stakeholders engaging in value addition has occasioned an increased number of coffee consumption outlets, this is due to steady supply of processed coffee that are of high quality and a rise in the consumer preference for coffee. Kenya’s coffee industry has seen significant growth in both the number of coffee outlets and stakeholders involved in roasting and packaging. The increase in coffee outlets from 231 in 2019 to 791 in 2023 suggests a growing demand for coffee among consumers.

Moreover, the rise in the number of stakeholders engaged in roasting and packaging, from 25 in 2019/2020 to 35 in 2022/2023, indicates increased

activity and competition within the coffee supply chain. Coffee shops and major hotels appear to be driving domestic consumption in key urban centers like Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, and Eldoret. This highlights the importance of these establishments in catering to the coffee preferences of Kenyan consumers.

Kenya’s per capita coffee consumption is currently at 0.043 kg per person, an increase by 0.007 Kg per person as compared to 2021/2022 where the consumption per capita was 0.036 kg per person. According to the 2019 Kenya Population and Housing Census (KPHC) Volume II Report, Kenya’s population stood at 47.6 million people. Overall, these statistics indicate a growing interest in coffee within Kenya, both in terms of consumer demand and industry expansion. Figure 17 highlights the trend in the establishment of coffee houses across the country over the years since 2013 to 2023.

3.9 Coffee Brewing Techniques

Coffee consumers prefer different preparation techniques hence there are many types of methodologies of coffee preparation. The coffees made could be concentrated or mild in nature depending on the client taste. Table 30 shows different types of coffee are commonly prepared and drunk coffee in Kenya.

Coffee type Description

Espresso Espresso is a type of coffee that is served in little “shots” and is highly flavorful and concentrated. Espresso features a froth called crema, which sets it apart from other varieties of coffee. It is reddish-brown in color and takes on structure when minuscule air bubbles combine with the soluble oils of the most widely used, finely ground coffee beans. Espressos’ rich flavor and enticing aroma are enhanced by the crema. When an espresso has crema, it has been expertly crafted with finely ground coffee.

Cappuccino A coffee beverage called a cappuccino is produced with espresso and steaming milk. There is no set ratio for the espresso, frothed milk, and steamed milk in the recipe for this espresso-based beverage. To put it another way, each of the coffee’s ingredients should make up a third (1/3). Usually, flavored syrup or sweetener are not added to a cappuccino. However, you are welcome to include them based on your preferences.

Figure 17: Coffee Houses Trend Over 10 Years

Table 30: Types of common coffee prepared in Kenya.

Coffee type Description

Latte

Caffe macchiato

A latte is a kind of coffee beverage made with espresso (one shot of coffee) and steaming or scolding milk. The majority of people mistake a cappuccino for a latte. Well, lattes and cappuccinos are comparable. Lattes differ in that they contain less foamed milk and more steamed milk. One shot of espresso and at least six ounces of heated milk are required to make the ideal latte.

A double or single espresso with a dollop of warm, frothy milk on top is called a cafe macchiato. There is taste to the Caffe macchiato, unlike many other varieties. It’s a robust coffee beverage with a hint of sweetness. While most people like their morning coffee as an espresso or cappuccino, a Caffe macchiato makes a great afternoon treat. The flavor of coffee macchiato is neither very light nor creamy.

Long Black

Flat White

Mochaccino

A double or single shot of espresso is served over hot water in a glass as the long black. The crema is preserved when the espresso is poured over boiling water. You can achieve a well-balanced drink that highlights the subtleties and characteristics of the coffee mix you used, depending on how it is prepared. To do this, you need a good-quality espresso.

A flat white is a type of coffee drink that has delicate bubbles and steamed milk with either a single or double espresso. The glossy smoothness is aided by the macrofoam milk. Making flat white coffee requires expertise. If it doesn’t have the proper flavor, the drink will taste bland.

Ristretto

Piccolo Latte

A mochaccino, also known as a caffe mocha, is a variation of cappuccino coffee that has been flavored or sweetened with chocolate. It is made with a shot of espresso and heated milk, along with flavoring and chocolate sweetener. The drink comes in a variety of flavors, some of which include milk chocolate and others with dark chocolate syrup.

A ristretto is an espresso made with half water and equal parts coffee, either in a double or single shot. In essence, it is an espresso extraction that is darker, thicker, and more concentrated. To construct a ristretto that gives you control over the extraction’s pour pace, you need to grind the coffee finer.

A piccolo latte is a kind of coffee beverage made by combining one or two espresso shots with an equivalent volume of milk. In this instance, warm milk is utilized to lessen acidity. The milk in a piccolo late is steamed, not foamy or texturized, unlike many other coffee drinks.

Café au Lait

A French coffee called café au lait has hot milk added to it. White coffee is not the same as this coffee. Cold milk or a whitener is added to white coffee. This beverage can be made using brewed coffee and steaming milk. There is no foam on top of Café au Lait, in contrast to other coffee varieties like espressos. However, you can enhance its flavor by adding some foam.

Decaffeinated Decaffeinated Coffee is the type of Coffee with reduced level of caffeine.

3.10 Domestic Coffee Consumption Strategies:

The Directorate employs a number of strategies to boost coffee consumption in Kenya which include consumption campaigns at universities and among the public. A number of events have been carried out consistently to achieve the goal.

In season 2010/2011, local consumption proportion was only 1% of the national production. However, the country has experienced growth in local consumption mainly due to the promotions conducted within Universities in Kenya targeting the youths. The growth potential is based on the hypothesis that university students become high income earners compared to students in other middle level colleges.

3.10.1 Domestic Coffee Consumption Campaigns in Universities:

The Directorate carries out regular consumption campaigns in universities upon invitation to build a good understanding among the youth on coffee and it’s benefits with the aim of building a strong drinking culture among the young adults. This is mainly conducted through sampling of brewed Kenyan coffee, information sharing through candid discussions and issuance of the catalogues to give a better understanding to the youth on the coffee value chain.

Collaboration with universities in the establishment of Coffee Houses has been effective and impactful in the advocacy of domestic coffee consumption noting that youth leverage is a factor in the coffee shops attribute. The coffee houses offer quick and convenient access to coffee for the students. This often gives the students an affordable access to authentic Kenyan coffee and thus building their interest in the same post university.

3.10.2 Coffee cupping Examination

Coffee quality is assessed through cupping at the coffee mills, coffee traders and Agriculture and Food Authority cupping centers. Coffee industry needs trained liquorers and laboratory technicians who are certified through the examinations program and play a key role in the sustainable growth of the coffee industry in Kenya and beyond and realization of better returns to all players in the coffee value chain. The Directorate has certified a total of 137 Coffee Liquorers. In the Financial Year 2022/2023, Ten candidates sat for the Coffee Experts Examination among which four candidates qualified as Coffee Experts and were issued with Certificates.

3.10.3 Barista Championships

The Kenya Coffee Events (KCE) was founded in 2019. The National Committee is the Kenya coffee industry team coordinated by Agriculture and Food Authority - Coffee Directorate to facilitate capacity building training workshops, coaching, coffee competitions and networking events. This initiative aims to empower the youth to gain knowledge and skills as well as support their innovative ideas to progress in the coffee value chain.

The 1st Edition of the African Youth Barista Championship (AYBC) was conducted during the 62nd Edition of the Inter-African Coffee Organization summit in Lome’ Togo.10 competitors registered for the competition and Kenya emerged as the African Champion.

The Barista profession has gained popularity with more youth participating in the Kenya national Barista championships. In the FY 2022/2023, 21 Baristas competed, and winner represented Kenya during the World Barista Championship in Athens, Greece.
