At Sumseron Coffee, we’re not just passionate about producing exceptional coffee—we’re deeply committed to empowering communities, transforming farming systems, and building a resilient future for smallholder farmers.
Seed Program
Ongoing
Each year, we collect $0.01 from every kilogram of coffee sold and channel it into our Seed Program. This initiative provides financial grants to smallholder coffee farmers and cooperative societies.
The Seed Program funds sustainability projects like improving irrigation, soil regeneration, and eco-friendly processing infrastructure, ensuring our support meets real needs.
- Farmers decide which projects to implement.
- Every purchase of Sumseron Coffee helps fund this initiative.
- We’re building stronger, more resilient farming communities—one project at a time.
The Arabika Project Kenya
Ongoing
We’re honoured to collaborate with Arabika Project Kenya, a nationwide initiative improving coffee quality and farmer livelihoods through education, research, and innovation.
- Targeted consultancy services for farming groups.
- Cost analysis tools and market-focused training to boost profitability.
- Farm-specific feedback to enhance quality, processing, and pricing.
- Promoting climate-smart agriculture, youth inclusion, and gender equality.
Impacting over 30,000 coffee farmers across 21 cooperatives in 7 counties, we’re shifting the narrative from survival to sustainability.
Coffee School & Research

We’re excited to initiate collaborations with leading coffee institutions and research centres to drive innovation in:
