The Kenyan government is launching an online platform for selling farmers' produce, beginning with coffee, to eliminate middlemen and ensure fair prices. This digital auction will directly connect farmers to local and international buyers, aiming to bring transparency and efficiency to the market.

• The initiative seeks to triple Kenya's coffee production from 50,000 metric tonnes to 150,000 metric tonnes within three years.
• Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe and Cooperatives Cabinet Secretary Wycliffe Oparanya announced the plan.
• Last year, Kenya earned Ksh40 billion from coffee exports, a significant decline from the Ksh100 billion peak in the 1980s.
