Started with 17 members which saw them start a vigorous campaign of bringing more farmers to the society and this has profited to having a total of 640 members joining. Zonal leaders are in place and they act as the main channel of communication from the top to farmers who are situated in remote areas. These leaders visit farmers in the catchment areas assigned to them for easy sharing of information and training that they need to produce good coffees.
