Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s push for legislative reforms promises to improve governance and efficiency within the coffee sector, with the Coffee Bill 2023 aiming to streamline processes and establish clearer regulations, thereby directly benefiting coffee farmers through enhanced sector governance.
The comprehensive legislation included in the Coffee Bill will institutionalize best farming practices, ensuring that sustainable and effective methods are adopted across the industry, thus promoting long-term growth and improving quality in coffee production.
New measures such as the Capital Markets (Coffee) Exchange 2020 and NCE Trading Rules 2023 will enhance sector governance by creating a more organized and transparent environment for farmers, which aims to boost trust and efficiency in the coffee trading process.
By strengthening enforcement and compliance mechanisms, the new regulations are set to support the stability and growth of the coffee industry, ensuring the protection of coffee growers’ interests and contributing to the sector’s long-term success.
The introduction of new policies and regulations will address both regulatory and commercial challenges faced by coffee growers, offering a safety net that will help secure farmers’ interests and ensure smoother operations within the sector.
