Kii factory was originally part of the Ngiriama Cooperative Society until it was dissolved; it is now included in the Rungeto FCS as of 1997. Located within sight of Mt. Kenya, Kii receives cherry of SL28, SL34, Batian, and Ruiru 11 varieties from 80 farmer members. Cherries are sorted before being pulped, then fermented overnight before being washed and graded. After that, the parchment is dried on the drying tables for 8-14 days. Kii factory encourages farmers to compost the discarded coffee fruit to use as fertilizer for their coffee trees, as well as recycling the water used for pulping.
