How much is the farmer paid | Kieni
Do you ever ask your barista how much the farmer gets paid?
Kieni factory manager Patrick Wahome
21.06.2024Klaus Thomsen

To acknowledge the outstanding quality in the cup, we have chosen to pay 113% above the market price for the Kieni Cooperative's coffee. We call it a 'quality bonus' so you know the direct impact your coffee choice has on the farmer. Thank you for being a part of this rewarding journey.

We have laid out all the numbers for you in our Transparency Report

About Kieni
Kieni is a cooperative with over 1,000 members, including families that grow coffee in their backyards. It is recognized as one of the most well-respected cooperatives in Nyeri, and we are proud to have been in partnership with them for over 13 years. 

How much is the farmer paid? 
Coffee Collective trades directly with producers, ensuring that the payment goes into the right hands. When you purchase a bag of coffee you will know how much the producer is paid.

Coffee Collective price compared to the market price

Transparency in coffee prices
The graph above shows you the difference between the quality bonus and the ICO market price, as well as the Fairtrade price. Neither the market price nor Fairtrade clearly and transparently informs you about how much money actually reaches the farmers.

In contrast, the quality bonus provides you with a market comparison that is transparent.

The blue pillar represents the price that Coffee Collective paid directly to the Kieni Cooperative. This is the price we paid above the market price. Therefore, the Kieni Cooperative received $4.47 per pound for this harvest.
