President Ruto Launches Kenya's Coffee Revival Programme in Kirinyaga

The programme aims to triple coffee output from 50,000 metric tons to 150,000 by 2029, tackling aging trees and middlemen through 20 million high-yield seedlings, subsidized inputs, and direct payments.

Youth trained as Ward Coffee Champions will deliver on-the-ground support, while mobile 'Coffee on Wheels' units bring advice straight to farms.

Early forecasts predict a 12% production boost next year, though some locals voice concerns over past unfulfilled projects.
