SME Loan-to-Growth: Nyeri Coffee Co-op
A 320-member cooperative tripled member income.
The Mathari Coffee Cooperative in Nyeri County serves 320 smallholder farmers. In 2024 the cooperative was operating at 60% of capacity due to ageing wet-processing equipment. We extended a KES 24M SME loan against cooperative receivables to fund an equipment upgrade and a quality-grading lab.
