Murang’a Kenya: Poor management is to blame for the under-performance of the only coffee mill in Murang'a County.

That coupled with the low payment made to farmers last year has almost made operations at the Eastern Aberdares Coffee Co-operative Mill (Ecomill) to grind to a halt, three years after it started milling.
