Tanzania Coffee Annual Tanzania Coffee Annual Report Approved By: Souleymane Diaby Prepared By: Souleymane Diaby and Carol N. Kamau Report Highlights: Under the Tanzania coffee development strategy, launched in December 2010, the Government of Tanzania (GOT) plans to double coffee production from the present average of 833,000 60 kilogram bags to 1.7 million 60 kilogram bags by 2020. FAS/Nairobi projects Tanzania coffee production in Marketing Year (MY) 2012 (July 2011 to June 2012) to decline by 20 percent from the previous year in line with the general biannual production cycle.
Commodities: Coffee, Green Production: FAS/Nairobi generated the estimates and forecasts in the graph and table below in this report based on the best data available from the government and private sector sources. The government of Tanzania’s goal of doubling production is projected to be reached by increasing yields through improved agronomic practices, additional inputs, and replacement plantings of disease resistant trees, as well as an expansion of planted area.
Data Sources: 1961-2009: USDA 2010: Tanzania Coffee Board 2011-2012: FAS/Nairobi Consumption: Domestic coffee consumption remains low as Tanzanians prefer tea to coffee. Industry sources report annual per capita coffee consumption at 0.06 kilograms. Trade: Japan and the European Union are the main destinations for Tanzanian coffee exports. Arabica coffee comprised 70 percent of total exports in MY 2011, largely exported to Japan and Italy.

Stocks: Processors, exporters and distributors hold most of the stocks. Policy: The Tanzanian coffee industry faces a number of challenges, including stagnant production, poor agricultural practices, low use of inputs, and pests and diseases. To address these challenges, the government of Tanzania launched the Tanzania Coffee Development Strategy (2011-2016). The new strategy aligns with key national policy initiatives including, MKUKUTA (Tanzania’s growth and poverty reduction strategy), Agricultural Sector Development Strategy, Agricultural Sector Development Program, and “Kilimo Kwanza” (the “agriculture first” strategy). The Tanzania Coffee Development Strategy identified five priority areas: production; quality; business environment and policy framework; farmer incomes and prices; and value addition. The ultimate goal of the initiative is to double coffee production by 2020 and to improve the quality of Tanzanian coffee.
