Summary

TechnoServe’s East Africa Coffee Initiative was established in 2008 to support transformation in the region's coffee sector. From 2008 to 2016 it helped nearly 268,000 East African smallholder farmers to transition from being commodity producers to integral parts of the high-value specialty coffee value chain, thereby increasing their coffee incomes by 27%.
