Coffee cultivation quality in Tanzania Coffee Farmers' Economic Environment Coffee Export

Tanzania's main coffee producing area is located at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, which is rich in volcanic soil. Some of the coffee trees planted here are more than 100 years old. Coffee was first introduced by Christians from Kenya to grow coffee. Coffee trees must be carefully taken care of, weeded and fertilized.

Moreover, the old branches must be cut off so that new branches can grow again to maintain the quality of coffee beans. The processing factory is located in the nearby town at the foot of the mountain to facilitate the handling of coffee beans, and the equipment of the treatment plant is quite complete. Coffee beans are an important economic crop in Tanzania, and the local government attaches great importance to this industry. the families of farmers who run more farms have all lived here after generations of immigrants, but they are not necessarily local Africans. Farm owners include Indians, Nordic, British, of course, locals, but most of them are small farms, but most of the farms and processing farms are managed by local people. Workers earn their wages by harvesting the amount of coffee fruit. They often see women with children on their backs. In Africa, there are no nannies, and older children have to look after their younger siblings when they reach the age of 5-6. Small farm women would use their hand-made sacks to bring coffee fruits to the farm to collect money.

The coffee beans produced here are all exported from Kilimanjaro, but apart from Mount Kilimanjaro, there are several major coffee-producing areas throughout Tanzania. There are more small farms in other areas, and most small farms also have an area of several hundred mu. Some have their own washing equipment and bean drying farms, but the graded treatment is still through large-scale treatment plants. Tanzania has considerable historical experience in growing coffee, and even small farms can handle good quality coffee beans.

Robusta coffee is also grown in Tanzania, which was introduced and transplanted from Congo in the early days, mainly in Lake Victoria near the border with Uganda in the west of Tanzania, and mostly sold to Europe, but the coffee grown in Tanzania is mainly Arabica.

The economy of Tanzania is not prosperous, most of the people still rely on agriculture, and not a small number of people are engaged in the coffee industry. another major source of money depends on the tourism income brought by wild animals, the natural resources of the country. The Maasai people in Tanzania are naturally free to approach nature, because they are unwilling to accept the shackles of civilization and work, but can retain the most primitive customs of the nation. Even if many Maasai are educated, those who can speak a little English can find a good job. Interestingly, the vast majority of Maasai are born the best guards because they are unwilling to do service-oriented work. In many local restaurants, restaurants, companies have hired a Maasai as a guard, 24-hour guard three months only once a week to a month off, quite competent.

On coffee farms and processing farms, we can see many women working in coffee to support their families, hand-picking coffee grades, and chatting while they are working. The local people are contented by nature, and we only use a few candies to share. To build a friendship with everyone. Labor in Tanzania is cheap, so much of the work of pruning and maintaining coffee plantations in Tanzania depends on manual processing rather than machines. Coffee has grown but is still green, when the busy season has not yet arrived, the job of coffee workers is to manually check to pick the leaves of some sick or worms. Basically, coffee processing in Tanzania is highly dependent on labor, but it also brings job opportunities for locals and increases household income.
