Abstract

The Rules concern the growing, processing, purchase and marketing of coffee. They shall apply to all coffee growing in Kenya. Geographical restrictions are placed on the growing of (a type of) coffee. The Kenya Coffee Board, in granting licences under the Coffee Act, shall have regard to the potential benefits in terms of development that the granting of a licence may bring about. Where a planter's licence has been issued to a cooperative society, the secretary or the manager of the society shall maintain a register of all members of the society to whom the conditions of the planter's licence apply. Whenever it appears to an inspector that any land upon which coffee has been planted is, for reasons of soil erosion or any other form of neglect, in such a condition as seriously to affect the quality of the coffee produced thereon, he or she may order or undertake action to restore fertility of the land or to fight erosion.
