Gukeng Farmers' Association, in the service for farmers we bearing the responsibility of creating agricultural production value, integrates coffee farmers through setting up production area and cooperative transformation of agriculture, introducing shared pesticide use, hygienic processing, and brand marketing to establish a collective production area and expand operations to create brand characteristics.

Gukeng Township is the largest area for coffee production and Traceable Agricultural Products (TAP) certification. Currently, the planted area is about 27 hectares. To meet food safety requirements, from the source of food production we have introduced TAP verification, implemented management system of labels and inspection mechanism to enhance public confidence in consuming domestic coffee. We also provide guidance to farmers on proper pesticide use and establish a concept of safe and responsible production traceability.

To ensure the stability of coffee bean quality, they use professional processing equipment to test the quality of green beans, aiming to properly preserve coffee beans, customize coffee products, and innovate Gukeng coffee.
