Gititu is one of four factories operated by the Aguthi Farmers Cooperative Society and is located in a highly productive growing area that is bordered by Mt. Kenya in the west and the Abadare Ranges to the east. The F.C.S. has seven elected committee members to represent its 4,000 total membership. The committee and about 60 permanent factory staff oversee day-to-day operations with regard to receipt of cherry, payment, and processing. About 800 farmers from Aguthi F.C.S. deliver to this factory, and they own, on average, about 300 coffee trees each.
Gititu factory has several seepage tanks to prevent contamination between used and clean water.
