| Research Abstract |
Tanzanian Northern Highlands as the production area of "Kilimanjaro" Mild Arabica Coffee were our main research sites. Under the recent condition of the declining coffee producer prices due to the international and domestic factors, there were no remarkable actions in Tanzanian Northern Highlands as a whole. It is because that the Northern Highlands are divided into 4 to 5 sub-areas according to the geographical features, administrative units, resident ethnic groups, and the cooperative organizations. Each sub-area tried different copping strategy with the adverse coffee economy. In Mt. Meru sub-area, the farmers in the core coffee production area shifted from coffee production to vegetable production and/or dairy farming with urban demands. In Mt. Kilimanjaro sub-areas, the farmers in some sub-areas concentrated on coffee production, whereas those in the others shifted from coffee to maize and rice. In North Pare Mountains sub-area, the population increased at the urban areas in the Plain due to the construction boom, while the coffee producing villages in the Mountain experienced the population decrease.
We also conducted researches in Rwanda and Ethiopia. As the coffee production area in Rwanda is most populated and profitable cash crop production area, the sharecropping system which is unknown in other areas in Rwanda has been developed recently. In Ethiopia, the cooperative organizations are strong enough to compete with the private buyers. The cooperatives take advantage of the marketing routes of "fairtrade" coffee and "organic" coffee, and they offer even higher producer prices to farmers than the private buyers. These two cases in Rwanda and Ethiopia show different performances from Tanzanian cases. We need further comparative studies on the coffee economy in East African countries.
