Kenya Co-operative Coffee Exporters Limited (KCCE) was founded on 25 th June 2009, registered as a Co-operative Society under the Co-operative Societies Act of 2004 and licensed as a Coffee Marketing Agent by Coffee Board of Kenya (current Coffee Directorate).

The establishment of Kenya Co-operative Coffee Exporters Limited (KCCE) was supported by the Government under the Ministry of Co-operative Development and Marketing in response to the dire need for Kenyan coffee farmers to have more control over marketing of their produce in order to realize higher net returns. It was formed to address the various challenges that were facing the coffee sector related to production, quality, marketing and value addition of coffee.

KCCE is a National Co-operative, 100% owned by the Co-operative Movement and has no individual or Government shareholding. It has shareholding from 74 individual Co-operative societies and Co-op Holdings, which is a national co-operative with over 3,820 co-operatives.

Our main coffee producing partner within the KCCE cooperative network is the Othaya Farmer Cooperative Society.
