  • Chapter Four: Results and Discussion
    ASSESSMENT OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF DARK FIRE TOBACCO FARMING IN SONGEA RURAL DISTRICT BY CLARENCE HUGO NYONI A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN RURAL DEVELOPMENT OF SOKOINE UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE. MOROGORO, TANZANIA. 2008 ii ABSTRACT The study was conducted in Songea rural district in Ruvuma region to investigate the environmental impact of dark fire tobacco. Community level data collection was carried out using structured questionnaires, focus group discussions, checklist guides and field survey in four villages selected purposively. A total of 120 tobacco growing households were interviewed. Analysis of both primary and secondary data was done using Ms Excel and SPSS. Results indicated that cultivation of tobacco in the district has resulted in the decimation of 333 033 hectares of forest land for the past three decades of which 282 441 hectares are due to field preparation, fuelwood demand for curing purpose consumed 52 957 hectares and 3389 hectares of catchment were cleared for seedbed preparation for tobacco seedlings. It was also found that forest land clearance has resulted into loss of biodiversity such as traditional medicines (Anonas spp which is used in treating sterility and dysentery), wild animals (Gazella soemmeringi), wild fruits (Uapaka kirkiana), and edible fungi (Termitomyces aurantiacus). Moreover, losses of precious top soil in form of sheet erosion particularly in sloping areas were reported by farmers. It is thus recommended that all stakeholders in the district should be involved in the conservation of environmental resources through the use of crop rotation, soil conservation techniques, planting both native and natural trees especially in catchment areas, and use of float seedbeds (box like trays) which use tobacco dust as medium for growth.

Purpose of the Research Contractual co-operation was introduced in many African countries during the colonial phase. Contractual co-operation is different from the traditional forms of co-operation usually identified with African Settings of culture. While traditional co-operation is based and driven by cultural norms of mutuality and reciprocity, its organization does not have visible structure, nor does it have written constitutions. According to Craig (1982), contractual co-operation is a locally institutionalized form of organization with visible structures of management and systematic lines of communication.

  • A History of Peasant Tobacco Production in Ruvuma Region, Southern Tanzania, C.1930-2016
    A History of Peasant Tobacco Production in Ruvuma Region, Southern Tanzania, c.1930-2016 by Herbert Harald Ndomba Dissertation Presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Professor Sandra Swart March 2018 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am authorship owner thereof (unless to the extent explicitly otherwise stated) and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Signature: Date: 08 December 2017 Copyright © 2018 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract This thesis is a contribution to the broader East African historiography of environmental and agrarian change and more specifically the tobacco industry in Tanzania. This thesis joins an existing academic conversation between historians (and, more inter-disciplinarily, others like agro-economists and ecologists) on the conceptualisation of African peasants, the rise of peasant protests, the tension and accommodations between state and peasants, the marketing of peasant commodities and the ecological impact of one crop-‘flue-cured tobacco’ farming in both central and western Tanzania. This thesis focuses on the establishment, control, and resultant socio-environmental and political impacts of ‘fire-cured tobacco’ peasant production in the Ungoni and Undendeuli areas of Ruvuma in southern Tanzania. It examines the rise of a peasantry tied to tobacco production in three phases. First, it examines the role of the state in the establishment and control of African commercial tobacco production between the 1930s and 1950s.
