AB Kiiriangoro

Kiiriangoro Factory belongs to the Thangaini Farmers Cooperative Society, located between Nairobi and Mount Kenya in Murang’a County, and comprises nine factories.

Around 500 smallholders bring their harvested cherries on the day of harvest to the factory and the cherries are processed in the traditional Kenyan way, sorted on patios, pulped, fermented, and sun-dried on raised beds. The fermentation occurs in traditional water tanks and typically takes place overnight in cooler temperatures.
