Production in the central Kiambu region is dominated by large producers. As the city has spread, the number of plantations has fallen, because selling farms has become particularly profitable. Many of these large plantations are owned by multinationals that use mechanised production methods favouring quantity over quality. However, there are a number of farmers who have held strong and who produce the SL-28, SL-34, Ruiru 11 and Batian varieties at altitudes of between 1,500 and 2,200 metres.
