The Kii Factory is 1 of 3 mills owned and operated by the Rungeto Farmers Cooperative Society, alongside Kiangoi and Karimikui. Established in 1953, the cooperative supports thousands of producers farming small plots of around 1 hectare at 1700-1900 masl, where coffee is typically grown alongside crops for household use. Around 850 of these smallholders contribute cherry to the Kii Factory, located in Embu, Kirinyaga, on the fertile slopes of Mount Kenya. Its namesake, the nearby Kii river, provides water for the community and for coffee processing.
