/UPDATE/ECONOMY-KENYA: Efforts to Improve Lukewarm Prospects of Coffee: "NAIROBI, Feb 25 (IPS) - Connoisseurs have long appreciated the merits of Kenyan coffee, typically described as having a fruity, acidic flavour. For many years, this renown helped make coffee one of the country's prime exports.

It was the top earner of foreign exchange for Kenya from 1963, when independence was gained from Britain, until 1988. According to the Coffee Board of Kenya (CBK), the country produced 128,926 tonnes of coffee during the 1987/1988 season, which netted a profit of almost 74 million dollars.

That was then.

By last year, output has declined to about 55,000 tonnes - something attributed to rising production costs, mismanagement within co-operative ventures and poor policies on the part of government. "
