This AA top lot is from Gakundu factory, operated by Gakundu Farmer's Co-operative Society in Embu county. Gakundu factory sits at an altitude of 1,650masl and processes cherries from 1,262 local smallholder farmers. Farmers are encouraged to intercrop with banana and maize, as well as Grevillea and Macadamia trees to provide shade and promote soil health. Via a central fund set aside from the previous year's harvest, co-operative members can access pre-financing for farm inputs, school fees and other investments. The members are also provided with ready access to inputs, Good Agricultural Practice (GAP) seminars and sustainable farming education. The overall goal is to increase production and quality for the members in order to secure higher income.
