Fairchain Kenya

Who is FairChain Kenya: FairChain Kenya (EPZ) Limited is a coffee roasting organisation in Kenya. We specialise in specialty coffees. This requires us procuring only the highest quality and top grades coffee beans in the market. We procure not only from Kenya (famous for high quality coffees), but also from other East-African countries to ensure bringing the right body and flavour to our specialty coffee. We proudly compete with large multinationals by exporting these premium coffee brands into Europe, where our coffees have won multiple awards. What drives us: FairChain Kenya (EPZ) Limited supports the mission and brings into practice the principles of the FairChain Foundation, founded in the Netherlands. Our shared mission is to fight inequality in the coffee chains all over the world, starting with the East-African coffee belt. There is still substantial evidence that inequality between the world’s richest and poorest countries is growing. So great is the power disbalance that it is virtually impossible for developing economies to grow or upstream their place in the value chain in order to reap their fair share of the value created. The resulting increased concentration and unequal distribution of wealth is behind much of the world’s social and economic instabilities. The FairChain mission is to stimulate and support business models that contribute to a TRULY fair distribution of the wealth across all participants in the value chain. FairChain Kenya is an important player in reaching the FairChain mission. Whereas most (and: the biggest and wealthiest) coffee producing organisations bring green beans to the wealthier economies to roast and package the coffee, FairChain performs local production. At FairChain Kenya, green beans are transformed into finished product, ready to be shipped to our customers.
