Political instability and pest infestation have disrupted Tanzania's coffee industry, leading to a decline in overall coffee levels and instability in quality, which in turn has led to lower prices, which usually lead to further declines in the coffee industry. More notably, it is estimated that more than 12 per cent of the Arabica coffee grown in northern Tanzania from 1969 to 1985 was smuggled into Kenya. However, the coffee industry has recently shown signs of improvement. Although the progress is slow, it is encouraging because Tanzania's coffee is of excellent quality.

In the past, Tanzania's coffee industry has been dominated by estate cultivation, but now more than 85% is grown by smallholders. Many small farmers have organized themselves into cooperative organizations, the most important of which is the Kilimanjaro Cooperative Union (KNCU).

In the 1980s, most coffee sales in Tanzania shifted from auctions to direct sales to the Tanzanian Coffee Marketing Board. This has changed. The coffee industry is being reformed to allow individuals or groups to buy coffee in the future. Coffee will also be graded in different ways to attract buyers from Germany, Finland, Belgium and Japan.
