Given the nature of the research objectives and research questions, inferential statistics were used. The results indicated that effectiveness of promotion of marketing activities of the primary coffee cooperatives constituting ACPCU, promotion of marketing information of the primary coffee cooperatives constituting ACPCU and promotion of marketing infrastructure development of the primary coffee cooperatives constituting ACPCU have a significant positive relationship with their performance. Implying that a positive change in any of the independent variables is associated with a positive change in performance. Finally the regression results indicate that 75.7% (Adjusted R Square=.757) of the variations in performance is explained by independent variables under the study. To capitalize on the relationship between promotion of marketing infrastructure development and the performance of the primary coffee cooperatives constituting ACPCU, ACPCU should prioritize investments in upgrading and optimizing its marketing infrastructure including technology platforms, communication channels, and collaboration tools. By fostering a seamless and efficient marketing environment, the organization can streamline processes, reduce operational bottlenecks, and enhance overall performance of the primary coffee cooperatives constituting ACPCU.
