Rianjagi factory is owned and operated by the Rianjagi Farmers Cooperative Society, which was built in 1950 and currently has just over 1,500 member farmers. The co-op is managed by a board of five elected representatives, one for each of the elecoral zones in the area. The co-op also has a permanent staff of eight who are overseen by a secretary manager.
Coffee is delivered by local farmers the day that it's picked, and is sorted for quality at the mill before being depulped and processed. After depulping, the coffee is fermented overnight and washed with fresh river water, then placed on dryiing tables.
