This plan is part of a broader strategy to revitalize Kenya's coffee sector. During the launch of a coffee revival program in Kianyaga, Kirinyaga County, Ruto noted that while progress has been made in improving farmers' returns, additional measures are necessary to ensure profitability in coffee farming.

The Kenyan government is working to modernize the cooperative movement through a new cooperative bill and increased public investment.
