Optimising crop nutrition in coffee farming is essential for producing healthy coffee trees, improving yields, and enhancing the quality of coffee harvested by farmers. Through the support of FFD and the National Coffee Cooperative Union (NACCU), coffee farmers are receiving practical training on effective crop nutrition practices. By understanding the nutritional needs of coffee and companion crops, farmers can apply the right nutrients at the right time, improve soil fertility, and promote healthy plant growth. Proper crop nutrition strengthens root development, enhances flowering and cherry formation, improves resistance to pests and diseases, and increases resilience to climate-related stresses. When combined with good soil management and sustainable farming practices, balanced crop nutrition contributes to higher productivity, better-quality coffee, and improved household incomes. This video showcases how knowledge of crop nutrition is empowering cooperative members to make informed decisions that enhance farm productivity while promoting sustainable agricultural practices. At NACCU, we remain committed to equipping coffee farmers with practical, science-based knowledge that improves productivity and strengthens resilient farming systems. Together with FFD, we are investing in healthier soils, thriving coffee farms, and a more sustainable future for Kenya's coffee sector.
