Kenya, the homeland of coffee is Ethiopia's neighbor country. also have fertile soil needed for the production of coffee took place in the south west of the African continent. Nevertheless, according to the Ethiopian coffee production in Kenya it begins almost 1,000 years later. Coffee is first discovered in Ethiopia in MS 850'l year, while the commercial development we know that from 1000 to 1100. The Kenyan coffee that comes in 1893 when he was a French colony. Therefore, the type of coffee grown in Kenya, Ethiopia quite different. Typica called Arabica production in Ethiopia while on the type of nucleus and its thousands of varieties, the varieties of Bourbon coffee production in Kenya is quite high.
Any discussion here specifically recalled that bourbon whiskey to be confused with the production. Bourbon type of coffee bean first in the French Reunion Island (in Bourbon island formerly) that takes its name for being discovered and during the colonial period the majority of the equatorial belt of the country came under French administration carried out the production of the Bourbon variety.
Today, about 70% of coffee production in Kenya is provided by small producers and farms. Women's work also focuses on the Kenyan government to power, it supports the work of women in the coffee sector.

When you look at this coffee packets forming the core type SL28, SL34 and Ruir to draw your attention to be 11. Although Kenya has land suitable for coffee though experiencing difficulties in efficiency over time in core brought from the island of Bourbon. Coffee trees also pass the disease to occur and the enemy began to rise, coffee Initiating improvement work. Scott Agricultural Laboratories (the current name of the National Agricultural Laboratories, NARLI) Bourbon type of work done by the coffee will be resistant to genetic diseases are changed in a direction to increase productivity. Such cores are not as Bourbon SL for where genetic changes (Scott Labs) is called with a code and prefix.
The SL-28 in Tanganyika (now Tanzania) developed a core which started production in Kenya in 1931. SL-28 provides a relatively high quality of taste, the efficiency is low even though a resistive core against disease. Type of Mocha Yemen Bourbon and was produced by treatment of the core gene.
Kenya SL-34 is produced from a mutation in the French seed production fields located in Kabete Loresho. It is a bronze-tipped plants with broad leaves. The high efficiency is a durable type to both excessive rainfall variable weather conditions.
Ruiru11 SL-34, and later than the production of a type made sl28. The project started in 1985, resulting in 1970. The first test Hybridoma de Ruiru Timer and Rumen Sudan varieties is between, by backcrossing to provide a high taste quality of the next generation is added with SL28 and SL34 genes and thus produced a variety with a highly resistant structure against berry disease and rust disease. A variety of coffee farmers to increase the diversity in terms of which allow early planting and harvesting.
