African smallholder farmers fought for the right to organize, and in the 1950s, were finally allowed to promote and register cooperatives for cash crops such as coffee. The Machakos Co-operative Union Ltd. (MCU) was established in the 1960s in Kenya. Its original aim was to market coffee for producers. Today, MCU is an umbrella organization for 81 affiliated primary organizations serving over 60,000 individuals in the Machakos and Makueni counties (comprised of 15 districts).
