Karibu! Welcome to the
website of the Tanzania Coffee Association, your one-stop

Tanzania! This site is updated regularly to give you the
latest news and statistics, so please check back often!
Tanzania produces between 30-40,000 metric tons of coffee
per year (70% Arabica, 30% Robusta). The three main Arabica
growing regions are in the North/Kilimanjaro, Mbeya and the
Matengo Highlands (Mbinga). Other Arabica areas include the
Usambara Mountains, Iringa, Morogoro, Kigoma and Ngara.
Robusta coffee is grown mainly in the Kagera region around
Bukoba.
More than 90% of Tanzania's coffee is produced by
400,000 smallholder farmers. Larger estates are found in
Arusha, Kilimanjaro and Mbeya regions.
The harvesting season in Tanzania usually lasts from July
to December, though slightly earlier in the case of Mbeya.
Green coffee is sold either through the Moshi auction or
direct to buyers. Coffee is shipped to buyers out of the
major ports of Dar es Salaam and Tanga.
