In the 1970s, NAFCO developed and operated these farms with the help of the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), and CIDA's assistance to NAFCO ended in 1993. In addition to these farms in NAFCO, a number of large private farms in Arusha, Iringa and Kilimanjaro provinces also produce rice. In addition, some small farmers also produce wheat as rations.

Sugarcane is mainly grown by four large plantation companies, namely Kilombero Sugarcane Company, Mtibwa Sugarcane Plantation, Tanganyika planting Company and Kagera Sugarcane Co., Ltd. In addition, there are some foreign investors growing sugar cane in Kilombero and Mtibwa. The annual output of sugar in China is about 115000 tons, while the annual demand is 300000 tons, and more than 200,000 tons need to be imported every year.

Sorghum: as a drought-tolerant crop, it can be planted in almost every province in the country, with traditional varieties and improved varieties (such as SERENA and LULU). The common planting areas are Dodoma, Singida, Tabora, Shinyanga, Mwanza and Mara provinces.

Due to political instability and rampant diseases and insect pests, the coffee industry in Tanzania has been damaged, leading to a decline in the overall level of coffee and instability in quality, which in turn lead to lower prices, which are usually the result of a further decline in the coffee industry. More notably, it is estimated that more than 12 per cent of Arabica coffee grown in northern Tanzania from 1969-1985 was smuggled into Kenya. Recently, however, the country's coffee industry has shown signs of improving. Although the process of improvement is slow, it is still encouraging because the quality of the coffee in Tanzania is excellent.

Coffee producing areas in Tanzania:

Coffee bean-shaped berry coffee in Tanzania produces a lot of coffee and is said to be more fragrant than ordinary coffee. Generally speaking, coffee beans in Tanzania have extraordinary quality. For example, the fine Tanzanian AA coffee (ChaggaAA), produced in the Moshi district near Mount Kilimanjaro, is famous for its full-grained and fragrant quality.

The characteristics of Tanzanian coffee:

Flavor: full-bodied and refreshing, with lower acidity than Kenyan coffee, pure flavor and aroma

Suggested baking method: medium baking

★★: good

Market for coffee in Tanzania:

Coffee exports from Tanzania (Tanzania) play an important role in the whole national economy.

In the past, the coffee industry in Tanzania has been dominated by manor cultivation, but now more than 85% are grown by small farmers. Many small farmers form cooperative organizations, the most important of which is the Kilimanjaro Cooperative Alliance (KilimanjaroCooperativeUnion, referred to as KNCU). Tanzanian coffee is sold by the Tanzanian Coffee Management Council (TanzanianCoffeeMarketingBoard, TCMB) to private exporters by auction. In the 1980s, most coffee sales in Tanzania shifted from auctions to being sold directly to the Tanzania Coffee Management Committee.

Now that has changed, and the coffee industry is being reformed to allow individuals or groups to buy coffee in the future, when coffee will be graded in different ways in order to attract buyers from Germany, Finland, the Netherlands, Belgium and Japan
