Did you know coffee is one of Kenya’s top earners? Here’s how it’s sold around the world and how it benefits you: At the Nairobi Coffee Exchange (NCE), our coffee is checked for quality to get the best price. Once it’s sold through an auction, it’s transported to the buyer.

This new system makes it easier for your coffee to reach buyers globally, increasing its value and demand. More details on this story in our upcoming coffee special edition
