ABOUT THIS COFFEE Our team in Tanzania sent us AB Mwika North with this note: “This was possibly the most popular coffee on our cupping table this year! We found this coffee to have the great taste we associate with the Kilimanjaro region, but also with the added complexity that we hope to find in microlots, which really sets this coffee apart.” ABOUT MWIKA NORTH The Mwika North Farmer Group was established in 1984 as a cooperative and as a member of the larger Kilimanjaro Native Co-operative Union (KNCU) — the very first cooperative in Tanzania. The KNCU was established in 1925, shortly after the Region: Varieties: arrival of coffee in Tanzania.

GEOGRAPHY Tanzania is the largest country in East Africa — slightly larger than two Californias — with Kenya to its north, Mozambique, Malawi and Zambia to the south, and the Indian Ocean along its east coast. The Kilimanjaro region, in the north, shares a border with Kenya. It’s renowned for its rich volcanic soils and plentiful rainfall, which are ideal for growing coffee growing. The main rains fall from April through July, with a short rain in November. Mwika, just east of Mount Kilimanjaro National Park, is about 8 miles from the Kenya border. the Genuine rigin C O F F E E P R O J E C T www.GENUINE ORIGIN.com Tanzania AB Mwika North FROM OUR TEAM IN TANZANIA “This lot has been selected for its superior cupping profile.

Dr. John Pombe Joseph Magufuli President of the United Republic of Tanzania “Statistics are very vital in the development of any country particularly when they are of good quality since they enable government to understand the needs of its people, set goals and formulate development programmes and monitor their implementation” H.E. Dr. John Pombe Joseph Magufuli the President of the United Republic of Tanzania at the foundation stone-laying ceremony for the new NBS offices in Dodoma December, 2017. What is the importance of statistics in your daily life? “Statistical information is very important as it helps a person to do things in an organizational way with greater precision unlike when one does not have. In my business, for example, statistics help me know where I can get raw materials, get to know the number of my customers and help me prepare products accordingly. Indeed, the numbers show the trend of my business which allows me to predict the future. My customers are both locals and foreigners who yearly visit the region. In June every year, I gather information from various institutions which receive foreign visitors here in Dodoma. With estimated number of visitors in hand, it gives me ample time to prepare products for my clients’ satisfaction. In terms of my daily life, Statistics help me in understanding my daily household needs hence make proper expenditures.” Mr. Kulwa James Zimba, Artist, Sixth street Dodoma.”. What is the importance of statistics in your daily life? “Statistical Data is useful for development at family as well as national level because without statistics one cannot plan and implement development plans properly.

This was the fifth Census after the Union of Tanganyika and Zanzibar in 1964. Other censuses were carried out in 1967, 1978, 1988 and 2002. The 2012 PHC, like previous censuses, will contribute to the improvement of quality of life of Tanzanians through the provision of current and reliable data for policy formulation, development planning and service delivery as well as for monitoring and evaluating national and international development frameworks. The 2012 PHC is unique as the collected information will be used in monitoring and evaluating the Development Vision 2025 for Tanzania Mainland and Zanzibar Development Vision 2020, Five Year Development Plan 2011/12–2015/16, National Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty (NSGRP) commonly known as MKUKUTA and Zanzibar Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty (ZSGRP) commonly known as MKUZA. The Census will also provide information for the evaluation of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in 2015. The Poverty Monitoring Master Plan, which is the monitoring tool for NSGRP and ZSGRP, mapped out core indicators for poverty monitoring against the sequence of surveys, with the 2012 PHC being one of them. Several of these core indicators for poverty monitoring are measured directly from the 2012 PHC.

Assessing Vulnerability of Food Availability to Climate Change in Hai District, Kilimanjaro Region, Tanzania

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Climate change has a large effect on agriculture sector and, consequently, on the food available for residents of Hai District and other regions of Tanzania. Based on four decades of climate data, this study assessed the impacts of climate change and its potential vulnerability on food availability in Hai District, Kilimanjaro region. The results from this study suggest an association between food crop production and variation in climate (temperature and rainfall) in Hai District. Considering the aspect of rainfall and temperature, we demonstrate that rainfall and temperature have signi- ficant relationship with maize and bean outputs. The rainfall had a strong positive association with maize and beans production and whereas temperature had inverse relationship with maize and beans yields. With the annual loss $0.04 million and $0.01 million per year from cattle and goats/sheep respectively and the additional annual loss of $29 million and $10.8 million from ma- ize and bean crops respectively in Hai District during years of severe and prolonged droughts, our study highlighted how severe droughts can dramatically affect agriculture production and food security in the area.

TFCG Technical Paper No 17. DSM, Tz. 1 - 79 pp. 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The North Pare Mountains lie at the northern-most end of the Eastern Arc Mountains in Tanzania, just 30 kilometres east of Mount Kilimanjaro. Relative to other Eastern Arc Mountains, the North Pare Mountains are considered to be a low conservation priority due to the paucity of endemic species (Burgess et al. 2007; Burgess et al. 1998). The North Pare Mountains have also been subject to far less biodiversity research than some other Eastern Arc Mountain blocks such as the Udzungwas and East Usambaras. The correlation between research effort and documented biodiversity values has been demonstrated in other parts of the Eastern Arc such as the Rubehos (Doggart et al. 2006) and Ngurus (Doggart and Loserian 2007).

This paper examines two farming systems: the traditional farming of the Chagga people on the slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro, and the modern paddy farming introduced by Japanese foreign aid. The Chagga practice intensive land use by intercropping coffee and banana. They also combine farming. forestry and livestock in a sophisticated homestead farm, the "kihamba," which I call an "agrosilvipastoral complex" system. Japanese style modern paddy farming started from 1985 in the semi-arid lower zone. Its economic performance varies greatly among farmers. It is thus important to grasp the significance of, and limits to, both traditional and modern farming in this area. Key Words: farming systems research; the Chagga; Agrosilvipastoral complex; Paddy farming; Kilimanjaro Project in Tanzania. INTRODUCTION There are several farming systems in the Kilimanjaro Region. In this paper I will focus on the traditional"agrosilvipastoral complex" practiced by the Chagga peo ple on the slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro, to assess the potential and limitation for the modern paddy irrigation farming in Lower tvloshi.
