Production has fluctuated considerably, with 534, 000 bags in 2011 and more than 1 million in 2012, accounting for about 20% of Tanzania's export earnings. The low production capacity of each coffee tree, coupled with the challenges of low-cost exploitation, lack of training and equipment, make it difficult to grow.
