| dc.description | This paper is part of a broader study of the socio-economic history
of arabica coffee growing in Gusiiland from 1933 to 1950. Using the
contemporary correspondence and statements of colonial officials and
interviews with the growers, the methods of extension, the processing and
marketing of the crops and the financing of the industry are discussed.
In addition, the factors are assessed which prevented greater adoption
of coffee by Gusii farmers and greater expansion of production. At first
the farmers were reluctant to plant coffee because they were suspicious of
government's motives. Those who did plant, were primarily interested in
earning a greater incomes. By 1938, many of the farmers were willing to grow
coffee, but expansion was halted by government's policy of limiting coffee
production by Kenya Africans. | |
