Lukululu Agricultural Marketing Cooperative Society (AMCOS) was founded in 2018. Initially, the cooperative focused on collecting home-processed coffees from nearby smallholders. In 2022, they expanded their offerings to include fully washed coffees. The cooperative serves 296 producers in the nearby villages of Lukululu, Ndolezi, Nambala, Mlangali, and Masangula. The cherries sourced from these smallholders are grown in clay loam soil, with plantings consisting mainly of Bourbon derivates: 90% N 39 and 10% KT 423. Currently Lukululu AMCOS operates a washing station equipped with a small handpulper. Looking ahead, they plan to extend their facility by incorporating an ecopulper and constructing more drying tables.
