The cooperative now has a wet mill where they can receive and process cherry from the local producers. The coffee is delivered and is then screened with a new colour sorter for cherry that can screen 16 tons per hour. From here the coffee is then floated and placed into plastic sealed containers for 96 hours.

The coffee is then taken to a mechanical silo where they start to dry it slowly without moving the coffee. Once the moisture has reduced they then begin to move the coffee in the silo's. In total in takes about 100 hours to dry the coffee from start to finish.

The coffee is then packed in grain pro in the parchment and they then mill it to be made ready for export.
