It is one of the three factories in Rungeto Farmers Coop Society, alongside Kiangoi and Kii. Established in 1953, the Rungeto Farmers Coop Society has grown to include approximately over 3500 dedicated members. Each smallholder member is allocated around one hectare of land for cultivating coffee alongside vegetable crops to support their families.
The region surrounding Karimikui factory has fertile and nutrient-rich red volcanic soil and with altitudes ranging between 1600 and 1900 MASL, it provides an ideal foundation for coffee growth. On top of this, the area receives plenty of rainfall - from 1600 to 1900mm annually, making the coffee-growing environment even better.
The combination of fertile soil, high altitudes, and generous rainfall contribute to the unique terroir of the Karimikui Factory's coffee, ultimately shaping its distinct flavours and characteristics. The smallholder farmers within the cooperative take pride in their meticulous cultivation practices, which harness the natural resources of the region to produce exceptional coffees.
