The Songwe region, rich in agricultural production, is situated in southern Tanzania bordering Zambia and Malawi. This is the location of the Mbozi District, populated with 175 villages and around 515,000 people.

One of these villages is the Iyenga village, which was originally a part of the Itumpi village, but the villagers found it difficult to access government resources due to distance, and thus created their own village in 1974.

During the harvest, cooperative members will either deliver their cherries directly to the Iyenga wet mill to be processed or will process their cherries at home. All will start the harvest by picking their cherries by hand at peak ripeness. Members without processing facilities will bring their cherries to the mill. Quality is the assessed, and the cherries are sorted in order to remove underripe cherries and foreign matter. The cherries are pulped to peel away the external fruit and washed to remove the remaining mucilage. The beans are then dried in the open sun on raised beds for 9-10 days
