Thunguri is part of a 9 wet mill society named Kibirigwi FCS. There is a total of 6,888 members of this cooperative of which 4,861 are female and 2,027 are male. Selective hand picking of red ripe cherries is practiced by the farmers. The harvested cherries are delivered for pulping at the wet mill the same day. After pulping, the beans are fermented for mucilage removal for 16 - 18 hours before the beans are then washed and graded. The parchment is dried under the sun to a moisture content of 11%. The parchment is then hulled, graded, sorted and bagged in preparation for export.
