The long term goal is to increase coffee production through farmer training, access to input and education. In line with the rising awareness on the need to conserve the environment, the factory has dugthe waste water soak pits away from the water source where the waste water is allowed tosoak in back to the soil. Coffee is handpicked by the smallholder members and delivered to the Gakundo factory where it is pulped. This initially separates the dense beans from the immature ‘mbuni’s (floaters) using water floatation which means the denser beans will sink and be sent through channels to the fermentation tank.

This first stage of fermentation will last for around 24 hours, after which the beans are washed and sent to the secondary fermentation tank for another 12-24 hours. Once the fermentation process is completed, the beans enter the washing channels where floaters are separated further and the dense beans are cleaned of mucilage. The washed beans will then enter soaking tanks where they can sit under clean water for as long as another 24 hours.
