Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s commendable efforts to combat coffee cartels in Kenya’s coffee industry have garnered significant attention and praise.

The sector has long been plagued by allegations of cartel practices that manipulate coffee prices and hinder market transparency. Gachagua’s unwavering resolve to dismantle these powerful entities has brought much-needed reform to the forefront of the industry.

One of the primary focuses of Gachagua’s campaign is to put an end to multinational coffee traders obtaining multiple licenses through their local subsidiaries. This practice has allowed them to exert control at different stages of the coffee value chain, contributing to the lack of transparency and fairness in the industry. By confronting this issue head-on, Gachagua has positioned himself as a champion for transparency, equity, and fair compensation for local coffee farmers.

Despite the denials and extensive rebuttals from international coffee giants, Gachagua remains steadfast in his mission. His actions are emblematic of his commitment to safeguard the interests of Kenya’s coffee sector and its local farmers. He has gained widespread admiration and respect for his relentless pursuit of a more equitable coffee market.

In a landscape where cartels often operate unchecked, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s bold stance against coffee cartels serves as a beacon of hope for Kenya’s coffee industry.

His dedication to transparency and fairness underscores the belief that determined individuals can drive substantial positive change for the betterment of their nation.
