Overview of the development of coffee beans in southern Tanzania:

TCB (Tanzania Cafe) wrote in its annual report: The slopes of Mt Kilimanjaro and the lush fertile southern highland region are the home to some of the world's finest coffees. Mount Kilimangaro and the fertile highlands of southern Tanzania are home to one of the world's top coffee beans.)

In southern Tanzania, Mbinga and Mbozi have the highest production of coffee beans in Ruvuma province. Coffee farmers are small-scale farmers who grow coffee in silver birch or banana fields by intercropping. The average acreage per household is 0.25 to 3.0 acres.

In the past, farmers used different spacing to grow coffee, such as 3m, 3m, 2.5m, 3m, 2.7m, 2.7m, 2.7m, 2.7m, 2.5m, 2.5m and 3m*1.5m. But now, they are more likely to choose the spacing of 3m*1.5m as the way to grow new varieties. There are plenty of Rain Water in Mbinga producing area during the rainy season every year. Although there are many rivers in the country, they do not need the help of the irrigation system even in the dry season. The average farmer's average yield per acre is 8-10 bags of 50 kg coffee beans, while some high-yielding farmers can reach 15-20 bags per acre.
