About the System

Bringing Coffee Licensing
into the Digital Age

Nyeri County is one of Kenya's premier coffee-growing regions. The Coffee Licensing System is the County Government of Nyeri's official platform for regulating coffee business operations — from nurseries and pulping stations to commercial mills and roasters.

The system replaces paper-based applications with a fully digital process. Applicants submit once, officers review and communicate decisions online, and approved licences are generated as verifiable digital certificates — eliminating delays, lost paperwork, and unnecessary trips to county offices.
