Tanzania crop has been steady but cyclic oscillating between 35,000 tons on the down cycle and 55,000 tons and the up cycle. It is therefore expected that the 2012/13 crop will come in at about 55,000 tons with 60% Arabica and the balance Robusta. With 90% of production coming from smallholder farmers, productivity is a challenge.
However, herein lies the opportunity to increase productivity from currently 0.25 kg per ha to 1 kg per ha.

The authorities are also encouraging new plantings to raise coffee acreage by 50%.
With sustained good Robusta prices, the trend for Tanzania is likely to be upwards.
For Arabica, there is concerted effort to improve on quality of southern coffees through centralized primary processing.
