The Tanzania Coffee Council (TCB) has identified six new areas as coffee growing areas, bringing the total number of coffee growing areas in the country to 13 to meet the target of 100000 tons of coffee production in 2020. Adolf, chairman of TCB. Kunburu said that the staff of the council stationed in various producing areas will provide services to farmers and guide them to plant new varieties developed by the Tanzania Coffee Institute.

Tanzania currently produces 50,000 tons of coffee a year, making it the fourth largest coffee producer in Africa. Due to the sharp rise in international coffee prices last year, Tanzania is eager to increase its coffee production through various measures. According to data provided by the International Coffee Organization (ICO), in December last year, the ICO coffee price composite index [1985.54 0.27%] reached the highest level of 184.26 cents / pound since 1994. In November last year, world coffee exports reached 7.6 million packets, an increase of 900000 packets over the same period in 2009. Tanzania is a world-famous coffee producer. Due to the current low domestic consumption in Tanzania, the government is calling on people to drink at least twice as much coffee every day for the next five years to boost domestic sales.

Premers Kimayo, director of the quality and Promotion Department of the Tanzania Coffee Council, the national agency, told Reuters on the 14th: "because of the colonial history of Tanzania, today's social elites are learning from the British to drink tea." But I would like to appeal to all Tanzanians to drink more of our own coffee. "

The Tanzania Coffee Committee believes that at this stage, the proportion of 7% of coffee sold in Tanzania is too low and should be increased to 15% by 2014, so as to reduce the impact of international market demand on the Tanzanian coffee market.

Kimayo believes that Tanzanians should drink twice as much coffee every day for the next five years.
