Bloomberg: Tanzania Sees Coffee Output at Six-Year High as Harvest Near End
Tanzania expects to harvest the most coffee in six years as
better weather and a high crop cycle boosts output in Africa’s
fourth-largest producer.
Output
for the season that ends next June may climb 51 percent to reach an
April forecast of 65,000 tons, Kajiru Kissenge, acting director of
coffee development and operations at the Tanzania Coffee Board, said
Monday by phone from Moshi, in the north of the country.
The board in April raised its forecast for this season amid
improved weather, a high crop cycle and as trees trees planted in recent
years add to supply. Harvesting in the north ended last month, Kissenge
said. It typically finishes in October in the west and December in the
south, according to the board’s website.
The arabica variety accounts for about 60 to 70 percent of
Tanzania’s coffee output. The nation follows Ethiopia, Uganda and Ivory
Coast as Africa’s top producer of the beans.

By Desai Magobhe, Nairobi TANZANIA is yet again on the lime lights as its manufacturing sector continues to flourish, emerging as one of the fastest growing on the continent contributing 26 percent. According to Africa Economic Outlook 2019 report released on 4 th April, 2019 by Africa Development Bank (AfDB), the achievements came from Tanzania’s landmark decision to revive its manufacturing sector in 2015; today the sector has become the biggest contributor to the GDP among the 14 countries of the Eastern Africa region. This is good news for Tanzania which embarked on a set of reforms which include industrializing the economy after many years of relying on export of unprocessed agricultural produce. The annual report released by the AfDB is a nod to Tanzania’s ongoing reforms implemented by Dr John Magufuli and his Government since he came to power in 2015.
