Nyeri Coffee Farmers Rage at Starbucks Officials
Starbucks officials made a stop over in Kenya last week to visit the progress of the Kenya Heartland Coffee project, which is aimed at helping Kenyan farmers to improve their coffees’ quality and production. Jim Donald, CEO and other senior Starbucks officers’ visit to Kenya followed the failed talks with the government in Ethiopia regarding the coffee trademark dispute.
The report by Moses Njagih and agencies said that "angry farmers from a coffee factory in Nyeri District have blasted officials of the Starbucks Coffee Company for refusing to respond to their questions on a project the multinational is undertaking in the area.”
The Standard quoted Mr John Kabira, a farmer as saying, "Starbucks interests are only in making profits from our coffee, and yet they are not even mindful about our welfare."
