Nsoga AMCOS is located in the Songwe, Mbozi region. Although it is a relatively young AMCOS, established in 2020, its 326 members have long been involved in coffee production as part of neighboring AMCOS cooperatives.

Thanks to substantial support for infrastructure, including CPU (Central Pulping Unit) facilities, their processing operations are impressively well-organized for such a newly founded AMCOS.

With strong cost efficiency and a stable production system, we have been partners with them since their very first year of operation. The chairman of this AMCOS is highly respected within the community, which has led many farmers to bring their cherries here. Despite his local reputation, he is a quiet, hardworking leader. The CPU staff share the same dedicated work ethic, focusing intently on their craft to produce high-quality coffee with precision and integrity.

Small-scale farmers in the surrounding area primarily transport their cherries to the CPU by motorcycle. Once the fully ripe cherries are received, they are carefully sorted and dried on African beds. Through continuous stirring and turning, the moisture content is gradually reduced over approximately 24 days.
