Mbewe AMCOS (Agricultural and Marketing Cooperative Society) was founded in 2018 with 170 initial members contributing home-processed coffees. In 2024 they constructed a washing station, locally referred to as a Centralized Processing Unit (CPU), which accepts cherry from the nearby villages. In that first year, they processed 16 tons of coffee cherries from 166 farmers, and have plans to invest in more equipment and further increase output.
After cherry is received at the Mbewe CPU, it is pulped and sorted, then fermented for 24-36 hours prior to washing. After washing, parchment is dried on raised beds for 7-14 days on average.
