Shishton Amcos, located in Shishton Village, is a group of coffee farmers who have joined forces to market their coffee exclusively through direct export or auctions. Besides their unique location between Mount Meru and Kilimanjaro with rich volcanic soil, their sustainable farming practices are particularly remarkable.

In Tanzanian terms, the farms form a new AMCOS (Agricultural Marketing Cooperative Society) with a CPU (Central Processing Unit), which for the first time is able to organise sales through auctions or direct export channels. Success came immediately: members joined from neighbouring private groups until almost all residents of Shishton village had signed up.
