Coffee Sub-sector Implementation Committee (CSIC) Chairman Joseph Kieyah said finance was one of the key components of the reforms being fast-tracked by the national and county governments. Prof Kieyah spoke at the Coffee Research Institute headquarters in Ruiru during the National Coffee Conference and Ruiru Coffee Fair 2018. CSIC was created in 2016 to coordinate and provide strategic leadership in implementation of the coffee reforms, among other duties. Kieyah said Sh758.4 million and Sh150 million will be committed to finance fertiliser subsidy and planting materials and training respectively.
