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.

President John Pombe Magufuli of Tanzania As usual, as the results were pouring out, the oppostion parties, activists and western propaganda machination, all over, resorted to one simple phallacy; whether the election was free and fair. Actually I heard the opposition rejecting the results on the basis of some irregularities. Let me address that first before I share what I believe to be the reasons for weaker oppostion this time around in Tanzania. The term free and fair has no one meaning in electoral governance across the world; countries abhor diverse socio-political systems and so is how they manage their elections. The fact that all political parties too...
