It it possible to roast coffee in a an artisanal way and sell it to my neighbours? why do i have to sell my beans to others?

My only surprise is this,central kenya is the main coffee basket,this area has produced presidents since independence and none of them has seen this,i can only blame the farmers for keeping quiet and maintaining blind tribal loyalty to leaders whose interests are very different from their own people,given that farmers form a solid voting block if they one time threatened to vote outside their normal block because of this exploitation somebody could have heard them long time ago.

Coffee mafia issue very much in the news, like someone with deep pockets is running a campaign.

Commodities exchange, anyone???

blind loyalty really hurts especially matters economics. Other areas keep playing the "marginalized" card but I don't know if they'd have been any better if they had as many presidents from their region given the sycophantic support all politicians seem to have.If farmers got fair returns for coffee, tea and other crops across the country that can have a very good trickle down effect on the economy and shore up the Kenya shilling when the same is exported. It can also help farmers increase their yield without govt subsidies/bailouts every now and then.
