Norman Mukuru started as an agronomist, built a central processing yard from scratch, and when a giant exporter collapsed, he kept going. Now The Coffee Yards buys cherry directly from ~300 registered farmers, pulps on‑farm, extends fermentation with precision, and slowly dries on beds and tarps. No shortcuts. No safety nets. Just a man who believed his community deserved better.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003eThe cup?
