3 Executive Summary Coffee is one of Tanzania s primary agricultural export crops, representing about five percent (5%) of total exports, twenty four percent (24%) of traditional cash crops and generating export earnings averaging USD 100 million per annum over the last thirty years. More than ninety percent (90%) of Tanzanian coffee comes from smallholder farmers. The industry provides direct income to more than four hundred thousand farmer families and also offers benefits indirectly to the livelihoods of over two and a half million Tanzanians. Average annual production over the past thirty years has stagnated at 50,000 metric tons, characterized by biannual droughts with production swinging between 33,000 and 70,380 metric tons. The coffee stakeholders received review report of the 2012 Coffee Industry Regulations with a view to improving the areas they did not agree to in the course of their implementation. A heated debate ensued regarding the red cherry buying business with stakeholders not reaching consensus. Consequently, the issue was postponed and recommended that an extraordinary meeting would be convened early in the year to deliberate on the subject. Furthermore, the stakeholders received a report proposing a new National Coffee Conference Structure according to the Coffee Industry Regulations The new structure proposed a composition of 120 delegates instead of the earlier 325, but subject to review to include chairpersons of district councils, district commissioners, inputs suppliers and to increase the number of farmer representatives. The 4 th National Coffee Conference, which brought together 275 participants from various categories of stakeholders, was officiated by the Minister for Agriculture, Food Security and Cooperatives, Hon. Eng. Christopher Chiza (MP). Finally, the Conference adopted 16 resolutions for implementation. iii

4 1.0 Introduction At the 3 rd National Coffee Conference held May 24 25, 2012 in Nashera Hotel Morogoro, the stakeholders handed over to the government the Coffee Industry Development Strategy for implementation. The government, through the Ministry of Agriculture, Food Security and Co-operative promised to participate fully in the implementation of the Strategy. The fourth National Coffee Conference was held May 30-31, 2013 at Nashera Hotel, Morogoro bearing the theme: Sustainable coffee production through Public Private Partnership(PPP) is the future of the industry. Several presentations were made at this meeting with a view to sharing experience of various sustainable activities going on in the coffee subsector. Furthermore, the stakeholders received a report on the review of Coffee Industry Regulations 2012 with a view to improving and amending areas of the regulations which they did not agree to in the course of their implementation. In discussing regulation 26 which concerns red cherry business, a heated debate ensued resulting in a division among the stakeholders. Following the heated debate, the Minister for Agriculture, Food Security and Co-operative, who is responsible for preparation and release of coffee industry regulations postponed the subject and promised to convene an extraordinary meeting to deliberate on the regulations in depth. 2.0 To open the meeting On opening the meeting, the conference Secretary who is the Director General of Tanzania Coffee Board, Eng. Adolph Kumburu, tabled a proposal of a new structure composition of the conference as per Coffee Industry Regulations 2012 as shown (Table 1): 1

6 Observers to the Conference Observers to the conference included regional agricultural advisers of coffee growing regions, district agricultural officers, members of parliament, conference sponsors and invited guests from various institutions with vested interest in coffee. Chair of the Conference The Secretary of the Conference required the conference delegates to elect a Chairperson who would carry on until the next Conference as stipulated by the Coffee Industry Regulations He tabled the recommendation of conference preparation committee - the Task Force Committee (TFC) that the Chair of the Conference be the Chair of the Board of Directors of the Tanzania Coffee Board. The delegates unanimously endorsed the recommendation that Prof. Selemani Chambo, who was the acting chair of the Board, be the Conference Chairman; and, added that since the chair will be assisting in following up implementation of the Conference Resolutions, he should also be Chair of the 5th Conference Professor Chambo agreed to be the Chair and thanked members for the confidence they had shown in him. Funding of the National Coffee Conference The Conference Secretary explained to the members that the stakeholder Conferences had so far been funded by sponsorships and voluntary contributions from various stakeholders. He added that this system had proved unsustainable as contributions have been dwindling year after year. He informed the conference that the Task Force Committee had recommended that the Tanzania Coffee Development Trust Fund finance the Annual Conferences. The Delegates unanimously agreed to the recommendation that the Tanzania Coffee Development Trust Fund finance the Annual Coffee Conferences. 2.1 Official opening The Conference kicked off with the Conference Secretary, who is also the TCB Director General, introducing participants to the Guest of Honour. He then recognized the conference sponsors who were: CRDB Bank plc, NMB plc, Tembo Coffee ltd, Tanzania Packages Manufacturers (TPM) ltd, Tanzania Coffee Development Trust Fund, (TCDTF), and Coffee Partnership for Tanzania (DEG) together with all stakeholders who had made it possible for the 3

7 Conference to take place. Thereafter, the Conference Secretary invited the Conference Chair to request the Morogoro Regional Commissioner to invite the Guest of Honour Opening remarks- The Chair started by welcoming the Guest of Honour, Minister for Agriculture, Food Security and Co-operative, together with thanking him for agreeing to officiate the Fourth National Coffee Conference. Furthermore, he welcomed all the guests and all the stakeholders to the Conference and requested them to provide their constractive input so as to come up with realistic strategic plans to develop the coffee crop. The Chair explained to the Conference that the coffee stakeholders were in the course of implementing the Coffee Industry Development Strategy on which implementation reports were expected to be presented at the meeting. He also informed the meeting that the Tanzania Coffee Board was at the final stages of preparing their Five-year Corporate Strategic Plan for implementing the Coffee Industry Development Strategy. The Chair informed the participants that the coffee crop is faced with several challenges, one being stagnation of production which has remained at an average of 50,000 mt. per year for more than ten years. This has meant decline of the economy of regions which used to depend on coffee production. In addition, more than 90% of Tanzania coffee depends on export market and just a little amount is for domestic consumption. This situation adversely affects the price to the coffee farmer when the price in the world market falls. The Chairman also stated that one of the causes of a drop in coffee production is that some of the investors who were given farms which had been owned by co-operative unions such as the KNCU (1984) Ltd decided to grow other crops instead of coffee. This situation has led to a drop in production in Kilimanjaro from 10,000 mt. in 1980 to an average of 4,000 mt today. He requested the government to intervene to get the investors to stick to their contracts as a strategy of boosting coffee production in the country. Lastly, he invited the Morogoro 4

8 Regional Commissioner, Hon. Joel Bendera, to invite the Guest of Honour to officially open the conference Remarks of the Morogoro Regional Commissioner The Regional Commissioner welcomed the Conference participants to Morogoro and thanked the coffee stakeholders for choosing Morogoro again. Then he requested the Guest of Honour, Minister for Agriculture, Food Security and Co-operative, Hon. Eng. Christopher Chiza (MP), to open the meeting Opening Speech Hon. Minister for Agriculture, Food Security and Co-operatives The Guest of Honour started by thanking the coffee stakeholders for giving him the honour to open this important meeting of the coffee stakeholders in the country. He congratulated the stakeholders and informed them that the government had been satisfied with the measures being taken by the stakeholders to reactivate development of the coffee crop since the reinstatement of stakeholder meetings in 2009.He stated that the strategies and objectives to be reached at that meeting would be a short term objective for planning programmes to increase coffee production from the current average of 55,000 mt to 80,000 mt. come year The guest of honour pointed out that the government, taking into Consideration opinion of stakeholders, had formed a new Board of Directors for the Tanzania Coffee Board, whose Chairman is Dr. Juma Ngasongwa. He called upon the new Board to take on the good things left behind by the dissolved Board and to put right where there were shortfalls. He further said that several measures had been put in place to strengthen co-operatives in the country. These have included Appointment of Dr. Audax Rutabanzibwa to be the Registrar of Co-Operative, and that a Co-operative bill had already been read for the first time in Parliament before being enacted.he also advised the stakeholders to review the structure of the Conference so as to ensure that all stakeholders along the value chain had a fair representation. 5

9 He explained that stakeholders had tried to implement the resolutions they had adopted beginning with the first meeting in However, he clarified that there were problems in implementing those resolutions, for example local government cess from coffee should be channelled to what it is intended to develop the coffee crop such as ensuring availability of extension services, provision of facilities i.e. motor vehicles, etc. He said that there was a big difference in statistics of coffee production and of coffee export released by the Tanzania Coffee Board compared to those from the International Coffee Organisation (ICO). He therefore, called upon the TCB to put this situation right by getting accurate statistics. He stressed that the permanent solution to addressing price volatility was to ensure farmers produced high quality coffee. Experience had shown that a high quality coffee would continue to earn an attractive price whenever coffee prices fell in the world market. He reiterated that Tanzania Coffee Development Trust Fund which was inaugurated in January 2013 needed to be properly managed to ensure that it carries out the work for which it was intended. He further promised that he government would fulfill its promise to contribute capital to the Fund to ensure that the Fund assisted smallholders to increase their use of inputs, especially fertilizers. He pointed out that the TCB had already identified eight new regions Morogoro, Iringa, Njombe, Katavi, Manyara, Mwanza, Geita and Mara for coffee expansion. This meant there are 15 coffee growing regions out of which three grow Robusta, and 12 Arabica. He required the stakeholders to collaborate with the TCB to ensure that the new regions boost the amount of coffee the country produces. He advised that the meeting should be devoted to identifying challenges which had contributed to the failure of not reaching set targets; discuss them and then come up with solutions to enable us to attain the targets by He singled out some of the challenges as being: 6

10 - Unequivocal irrigation; - Farmers not adhering to good agricultural practices (GAP); - Unmatched demand for coffee seedlings; - Low productivity; - Farmers selling red cherry, parchment and dry cherry; - Lack of meaningful competition in auction (few buyers); - Lack of Property Right for Tanzania coffee; - Unreliable export markets and internal markets. He asked the stakeholders to start thinking of exploring new markets such as Asia, China and Middle East instead of relying on traditional markets in order to expand markets for our coffee. He promised that the government will continue to review investment regulations so as to encourage the private sector to participate in quality improvement of crops. He called upon the stakeholders to work with TaCRI in the research for coffee development. District councils should earmark expansion areas for coffee production and part of the cess from coffee should be channelled to coffee development through production of quality seedlings, establishment of central pulping units (CPUs), access to credit and markets, etc. Furthermore, he asked the Tanzania Coffee Board to see to it that the law and regulations are adhered to so as to prevent coffee from being bought haphazardly without observing quality, thus denying the farmers a good price. He added that the stakeholders had identified some gaps in coffee industry regulations and his office has completed the review with a view to enhancing efficiency in the industry. He requested the stakeholders to give their final recommendations once the report on review is tabled at the conference. He touched on the role of co-operatives and farmer groups regarding market improvement citing that the procedure of giving out advance payment and final payment after coffee has been sold, helps the farmer; but he added that if the co -operatives and farmer groups managed themselves properly, they could put in place an efficient system for supply of inputs to their farmers thus enhancing productivity. 7

11 He concluded by saying that the government through the Ministry of Agriculture, Food Security and Co operative will always continue to work together with all stakeholders whenever its contribution is required so as to develop this important crop. After the official opening speech, the Chairman, Prof. Selemani Chambo, thanked the Minister and announced that he (the Minister) had agreed to stay on to participate in the Conference deliberations. 3.0: Presentations 3.1 Report on Implementation of Resolutions of the 3 rd National Coffee Conference held May 24 25, 2012 in Morogoro. Resolutions attached as appendix 1 The members remarked on the report as follows: Many of the participants discussed the First Resolution which had stipulated that the business of red cherry buying should continue till this year s Conference when review and agreement on this subject should be reached. Members deliberated on the issue and felt that the business of the red cherry did not benefit the farmers, but only the buyers. According to the implementation report, there were two groups of stakeholders with conflicting opinion regarding red cherry buying business. Consequently, the Secretary of the meeting moved that discussion on red cherry business should be put in abeyance pending report on review of regulations to be tabled by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food Security and Co-operatives Developments in the coffee sector The Director General of the Tanzania Coffee Board presented a report on the trend of the coffee crop in the country. He explained that: Production and earnings from coffee since 2003/2004 to 2012/2013 have indicated an increase from 33,789mt. worth US$43,012,000 in 2003/2004 to 70410mt. worth US$180,525,000 in 2012/

12 The coffee market trend for the season 2012/2013 has declined due to a fall in the price of coffee in the world market. This had adversely effected coffee price in the auctions resulting to a low price to the farmer especially the Arabica coffee which had dropped from Tsh.5, per kilogram in 2011/2012 to Tsh.3, in the season 2012/2013. He singled out Italy, Japan, Germany Belgium and the United States of America as major coffee importers of Tanzania coffee. He pointed out the following challenges in the coffee sector: Production Overwhole production increase in the season notwithstanding, lack of rainfall due to climate change especially in the Northern zone does adversely impact production trend thus calling for urgent irrigation schemes. Limited education of smallholders and no-adherence to good agricultural practices (GAPs) causes marked variances in the rise and fall between one season and another. There is still a big demand for coffee seedlings in spite of TaCRI s big efforts to multiply and distribute improved coffee seedlings. Minimal productivity of 270 kg/ha of clean Arabica coffee and 50 kg/ha of Robusta resulting from low use of inputs Markets Farm gate market: This market has allowed sale of red cherry, dry cherry and parchment which has resulted to farmers not adhering to proper coffee preparation practices as the price offered by buyers is that of average which does not take into consideration grades, quality and market price. Local government cess has been a nuisance to farmers. Coffee auctions: Lack of competition in the auction has been due to few buyers together with a fall in price in the world market price. 9

13 Weak structure in running the auction emanating from lack of skilled personnel. Export Market Most of Tanzania coffee is being used for blending other coffees as it has no Property Right (lack of branding). Unsatisfactory availability of accurate coffee export statistics from exporters which has caused loss of tax revenue to the government. Our system of taxing exports has caused loss of revenue to the government. Many of the coffee exporters are multinationals which either have links to/or are owned by roasters. Local consumption Many Tanzanians have failed to drink coffee because of its high price compared to other beverages like tea and soda. Little investment in coffee roasting and grinding/brewing facilities in the country Costly packaging materials which are ordered from outside the country. Further, he explained the following measurers to address the challenges: To open up expansion areas, to plant improved seedlings, to sensitize farmers on use of proper inputs. Other partners to invest in seedlings multiplication, so that TaCRI supervises them and does not itself engage in production. To register coffee farmers (area, number of trees, etc). To oversee (administer) the law: the Tanzania Coffee Board has appointed coffee inspectors an exercise which had been suspended. To update the auction running system: to buy a new system to be installed next season. To release indicative prices through cellphone. A farmer can access this by sending SMS coffee price to number To encourage production of certified coffee such as organic coffee so as to increase income. 10

14 To continue participating in various coffee exhibitions internally and internationally. To give education on coffee brewing and health benefits of drinking coffee Zonal presentations Southern Zone (Mbeya and Katavi) The target of Mbeya Region is to produce 29,000 mt of parchment by the year 2014/2015. The production of Mbeya Region in the season 2012/2013 was 19,783 mt of parchment compared to 13,800 in 2010/2011 (43%). The target in Katavi Region (Mpanda) is to reach 15 mt of parchment, compared to 3.5 mt in the season 2012/2013. Further, the report clarified that the increase in production has been due to: Increased use of improved coffee seedlings; Rehabilitation of aged farms Training on good agricultural practices (GAPs). For example, in 2012/2013 training was offered to 10,062 farmers and 145 extension personnel as follows: o TaCRI 3,200 farmers, 57 extension staff and ICP 35 extension personnel. Mbeya Rural 3,550 farmers, HW 700; TechnoServe 800, IADO 550; ICP 500; o Rungwe 2980 farmers, HW 780; ICP 220 The report pointed out the following challenges facing the Subsector: Drought in some of the coffee growing areas; Minimal investment of the local government cess from coffe in the coffee development Coffee growing in Katavi Region has not been developed as required Western Zone (Kagera) Increase in the coffee production in the past five years: 11

15 The contribution of Kagera Region in the national Coffee production has gone up from 27% in 2006/2007 to 50% in 2012/2013. Also the trend shows a market variance of production (over 50%) between seasons. This has been due to the origin of the crop, farmers not using inputs as required and non-adherence to good agricultural practices. Furthermore, the report mentioned the following coffee challenges in the region: Rise in the price of coffee seedling from Tsh.50/= to Tsh.500/=. This has adversely affected the objectives of the region of multiplying and distributing improved 5 million coffee seedlings per year resistant to coffee wilt disease. Availability of accurate statistics of coffee farmers and of coffee collections from buyers. Despite control of coffee smuggling by districts councils; there are still loopholes which allow this trade to continue. District councils are yet to invest enough in the coffee crop by setting aside 20% of the cess in the coffee development as agreed by the stakeholders. The rates of coffee cess are still being contested by stakeholders that they are too high Kigoma Region The volume of coffee production in Kigoma Region increased in the season 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 compared to the season 2010/2011 due to efforts taken. The quality of coffee deteriorated in the season 2011/2012 as a result of some farmers not observing quality during picking, milling, storing, and transporting. Concerted efforts are being taken by the Region to ensure that the quality improves. In the season 2012/2013 Kigoma Region led in the production of high quality coffee in which 86% of all coffee sold was of premium quality, 12% middle and 2% of poor quality. Together with maintaining this quality, efforts are still required to improve the quality further. 12

16 The report further pointed out sector challenges in the zone as follows: Marked shortage of improved disease resistant seedlings Low coffee production Shortage of qualified extension personnel on the coffee crop Low co-operative education among farmers and co-operative leaders. Unreliable coffee prices due to unstable world price Insufficient central pulping units. Many farmers not observing good agricultural practices Lack of Warehouse Receipt system. Shortage of coffee (storage facilities) warehouses. Low capacity of TaCRI Kigoma to produce enough seedlings. Many farmers have aged coffee trees which are not properly tendered. Cooperative societies do not have enough capital to operate Warehouse Receipt System. Some of the farmers have continued to mill coffee using poor equipment which causes coffee to deteriorate in quality. 13

17 3.4: Opportunities in the coffee development: A.P. Kakama Mr. A.P Kakama expressed his appreciation by being facilitated to participate and win in the internatinal coffee quality competitions- Taste of Harvest which is hosted by African Fine Coffees Association (AFCA). Following this achivement, he requested fellow stakeholders to increase their efforts in producing more coffee of higher quality because there are lots of opportunities in the world market due to increase in demand.. The opportunity to produce high quality coffee can be utilised to encourage youths to participate in coffee production. He also advises local goverments to allocate land for youth to invest in coffee production 3.5 Current challenges in the coffee sector: TCA Chairman The chairman of Tanzania Coffee Association (TCA) started by outlining the challenges which are currently present in the Tanzania coffee sector as: Low productivity, poor quality,external sales are still very low; Multiple problems in the process of exporting coffee such as poor quality of sisal bags which are used for exporting coffee, lack of strategies to explore new markets. TCA vision: To see to it that all stakeholders in coffee sub sector join TCA (Both small and large producers, cooperative unions and farmer groups, processors, exporters, roasters etc) for the purpose of collaborating together in overcoming challenges present in the coffee sector. To open offices in all coffee growing regions. To ensure that TCA participates in solving challenges during stakeholder meetings. 3.6 Progress report on Coffee Development Trust Fund (TCDTF) The Fund was launched by the Minister of Agriculture, Food Security and Cooperatives on January 11, The Fund has implemented the following; i. Employment: The Fund has employed operational staff, Fund Manager and Fund Accountant from 1 August The Fund offices are in Kahawa House Moshi. 14

18 ii. Appointment of external auditor: The Fund Board has appointed MIKIMAS ASSOCIATES of P.O.Box 1479 MOSHI as external auditor and tax consultant for a period of two years i.e 2012/13 and 2013/14. iii. Fund collections for the season 2012/13: Collections were made at a rate of 0.2 percent of selling price as it was approved by the past stakeholder meeting. Up to the end of April, 2013 a total of $ 319,000 had been collected. iv. Collection for auction running: Collections for coffee auction expenses which are conducted by the Tanzania Coffee Board in Moshi were made at the approved rate of 0.2 percent of selling price for season 2012/13. v. Collections for TaCRI: A total of $ 1,271, was collected from coffee sales. Auction sales contributed $750, and direct sales contributed $ 520, for the season 2012/13. vi. Translation of Trust Deed: Translation of Trust Deed into kiswahili was completed and it will be circulated to stakeholders when the procedures are finalized. vii. To follow up a government pledge to give Tsh 2 billion subsidy to the Fund: The Fund used the launching ceremony to remind the government of its 2011 promise and, the Minister of Agriculture Food Security and Cooperatives promised to fulfill the promise. viii. Registration as an employer: The Fund had been registered as employer with OSHA The fund is in the process of preparing its Corporate Strategic Plan and Strategic Action Plan. The Fund has conducted a preliminary review on challenges and opportunities pertaining to financing of seasonal inputs, seeds multiplication and distribution. 3.7 Coffee Partnership Project in Tanzania (DEG) The Coffee Partnership for Tanzania (CPT) is a partnership enabled and co-funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and managed by DEG. Carried out by DEG s three implementation partners; Armajaro Trading Ltd, Ecom Agroindustrial Ltd and Hanns R. Neumann Stiftung, as well as their strategic partiners Hivos and Solidaridad. CPT aims to increase the net income of 85,000 small holders coffee farmers and their dependants in 15

19 Tanzania over the project horizon from , Largely doubling their yields, thereby improving the livelihood of up to 510,00 Tanzanians. The objective of the project will be met through; Increased coffee production through adoption of good agricultural practices (GAPs), improve farmers access to credit facilities, access to improved planting materials, etc. Coffee quality improvement by encouraging the use of central processing units, and linking coffee growers to certified and verified coffee markets. Supporting areas of gender, renewable energy (biogas) as well as livestock and food production. 3.8 Coffee market develoment in the last 12 months and current Café Africa Prices of Arabica coffee are low whereas those of Robusta are also low but not decreasing at the same percentage like that of Arabica. The current trend of coffee market growth shows that coffee growth in the original markets is 1% compared to 3-6% in the new markets. Coffee growers and traders should be aware that coffee prices are not always increasing; but they should know that there are times when prices are high and low. Therefore they must think of putting in place price risk management strategies to protect them from unexpected price fluctuations. 3.9 Branding Tanzania coffee by - WIPO In 2012, the government of Tanzania requested the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) to facilitate intellectual property right to Tanzania coffee with the aim of addding value and to protecting it from contamination. To achieve the above objective, the government of Tanzania organized workshop which comprised stakeholders from the Ministry of Agriculture, Food Security and Cooperatives, TaCRI, the Ministry of Trade and Industry, BRELA, Farmers, Traders, Exporters and Co-operatives to discuss various strategies to go about in the branding process. 16

20 The result of the findings indicate that our coffee varieties including their quality characteristics are still unkonwn in the world markets. Furthermore, the findings pointed that there is an ample opportunity for brading and Intelectual Property (IP) protection of our coffee varieties for the following reasons: There is excellent natural product There is continued improvement in product processing There are some potential ring-fenced production/brand areas to test branding There are several professional exporter organizations to reach new buyers The Tanzania Coffee Board (TCB) and others provide the necessary product control There is a great home market to build There is an IP infrastructure to build upon 3.10 Review of Coffee Industry Regulations - MAFC The introduction was given by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food Security and Cooperatives pointing out that Agriculture is the backbone of Tanzanian economy and provides employment opportunities to about 80% of Tanzanians. He further stressed that whatever we plan to implement we should first target our farmers; and that the purpose is to improve their livelihood and if we continue with the plans of trading cherries, then its price must be known in advance; adding that the coffee regulations must favour both sides, i.e farmers and traders. The presentation covered various areas including translation of Regulations, the reasons and objectives of reviewing coffee regulations, the procedures used, comments and recommendations of where changes were made. Emphasis was on Part IV, section 19 (e) of the coffee regulations of 2012 which recognises ripe cherry as a recognised type of coffee which can be traded and the Ministry gave the following comments: 17

21 Anlaysis: So long as the Coffee Industry Regulation section No. 26 does not probihit farmers from adding value to their coffee and sell coffee freely, then it should continue and recognize trading of cherries and other coffee related products. Supervision must be improved for smooth implementation of the coffee regulation section 26 on cherry business in order to protect the intersts of coffee farmers. Also, indicative prices and the procedures of issuing licences from LGA s will be a good strategy to control illegal traders including traders of cherries. Recommendation: Lincences that allow trading cherries should continue. From the discussions, many stakeholders agreed that cherry business will benefit traders but not farmers who could be given conducive environment to improve quality and benefit from value addition. At last, it was concluded that many stakeholders were not in favor of cherry business, and the Minister of Agriculture, Food Security and Co-operatives posponed this Agenda and promised a to find out more and come up with the quick solution regarding cherry business after contacting the Attoney General and other stakeholders; and that shortly he would convine a special meeting of stakeholders that will have one agenda to review Coffee Industry Regulation Research for development (TaCRI) Progress report on research for development was divided into two parts as follows: o Evaluation and workplan of the 5 years Strategic Action Plan 2013/14 to 2017/18, that has prepared a third strategic action plan which involved participtation of stakeholders in adreesing their concerns. Furthermore, the consultants who developed the Strategic Action gave the following comments on the strength of TaCRI: TaCRI conducts researches to meet the demand of stakeholders TaCRI has outstanding coffee varieties The on-going research is demand-driven and stakeholders led Dedicated experienced staff 18

22 Good governance and administration Very strict on fund expenditure o Also, the consultants report identified two challenges: The need for 2,000 extensión officers, which is out of control of TaCRI The increasing demand for improved hybrid coffee varieties o Moreover, the report highlighted the on-going research on compact coffee varieties which yield more than 3 tons of clean coffee per hectare. It also pointed out that five new varieties will be released at the end of this year 2013 after getting the official release. o The report also highlighted the on going research to develop coffee varieties that are drought tolerant. Research that considers the needs of stakeholders. The varieties will be released 2015/16. o The progress on seedlings multiplication by hybrid seed production and tissue culture methods; that the protocols on how to multiply seedlings by tissue culture have been perfected. This method will contribute to speed up the multiplication of hybrid seedlings. o TaCRI has packaged training mannuals that will be used to train farmers on how to process high quality coffee and how to control pests in coffee o The report highlighted the participation of stakeholders in evaluating the cup quality of improved varieties developed by TaCRI, which is done in various areas. The result of this activity will assist farmers in identifying problems that may lead to poor quality coffee. o It was reported that the released TaCRI varieties continued to show stability in various areas such as Hai, Mbinga, Kigoma, Tarime and Mbozi districts where they are being evaluated on-farms. o Also, the report highlighted coverage of TaCRI activities in Mvomero and Morogoro districts and that TaCRI has donated one motorcycle to strengthen-researchextensión-farmer linkages in Mvomero district. 19

23 TaCRI s achievements in improving the income and livelihoods of coffee growers Case studies on research achievements in improving income and livelihoods of some coffee growers in Bukoba, Tarime, Mbinga and Mbozi districts. Important was the testimony that was given by Petro Mwita Bururyo, 44, and his spouse Joyce, 34, of Nyarero village, Tarime District who lived uncertain life, depending on petty business activities and gambling before they discovered coffee. In Joyce s words: We had rough times before we turned into coffee growing in My husband earned his living from gambling with its associated risks. Confiscation of household items to pay for gambling lossess was common. This created serious family conflicts. But since we started engaging in coffee farming, our marriage has been stable! I am grateful to TaCRI for rescuing our marriage. All these are results of farmers adhering to good agricultural practices (GAPs). Challenges in seedlings multiplication Clonal seedlings multiplication and the involvement of stakeholders in accelerating seedlings multiplication indicates that a large number of seedlings is multiplied by small holder coffee growers who produce about 90% of coffee in the country. The trend of Coffee production for the Eastern and Southern African countries which shows that in the last 20 years, the average coffee production in Tanzania has remained stable while declining in other countries such as Uganda and Kenya. Therefore, there is a possibility of producing 100,000 tons by 2021 if we can multiply at least 20 million hybrid seedlings per year. Also, the report highlighted the procedures that must be followed by other partners who are interested in investing in seedlings multiplication that they must abide to the Protection of New Plant Varieties (Plant Breeders Rights) of 2002 which says; Serikali ya Tanzania kupitia Bunge la Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania ilitunga sheria ya Haki miliki za wagunduzi wa aina mpya za mbegu za mimea The Protection of New Plant Varieties - Plant Breeders Rights Act, No. 22 of 2002.In this law, section 41 gives power to the holder of Plant Breeders Rights: 20

24 o The right to sell and monitor the selling and multiplication of the new plant varieties o To sell and monitor trading of seeds/seedlings o To stock the variety with the purpose of reproducing or selling o To grant permission to any third person to multiply and sell seeds/seedlings o To collect Royalties which is payable to the holder of Plant Breeders Rights And, that TaCRI has the Plant Breeders Rights of the new coffee varieties Reported that exchange visits/study tours conducted by coffee farmers in various areas have increased the adoption of coffee technologies. Also, the report insisted that it is now the right time for stakeholders to fully participated and utilize TaCRI technologies in a system similar to relay or passing a buton to another in order to speed up its dissemination and availability to coffee growers General discussion Improvement in registering coffee growers as the recent information on farmers registration is not enough. It was poroposed to follow the system that has been used in registering farmers by GPS like for Tea farmers. Indicative coffee prices that are announced by the Tanzania Coffee Board are of little help as they do not bind traders as it is for other crops such as Tea and Cotton. Nevertheless, it was reported that indicative prices do not reflect the real buying prices that exist during the auction, but rather projectons of prices that can exist during the auction. The current Coffee Regulations give only TCB the mandate to register coffee farmers and not a prívate company or any other farmer institution. Farmers registration by other institutions like organic projects registration is different from the one conducted by TCB as it has its own procedures and requirements. Stakeholders pointed out that costs of coffee production are high which is a result of increased prices of fertilizers, insecticides and the existence of non-auntheticated inputs. 21

25 Therefore, stakeholders requested the Minister that coffee should also be sub-sidized like other crops such as cotton and cashewnuts. Stakelholders proposed that the current price of coffee seedlings at 500/= from the ealier 50/= per seedling is too high and must be revised. The costs of coffee export permits are too high; therefore, stakeholders requested the Ministry of Agriculture, Food Security and Co-operatives to increase subsidy to TCB that will help to reduce those costs for exporters and hence will encourage coffee export. The regulation which allows TCB to give more than one licence to one company should be reviewed as it leads to monopoly system along the coffee value chain. The government shoud reduce crop levies as they are a burden to farmers, because some of the district councils do not use cess collection from coffee to support coffee activities. Stakeholders debated that, the quality of coffee starts at farm level up to the market. However, they insisted that if coffee will be processed under CPUs, the quality can be supervised and be of top grade and therefore will enable farmers to fetch a better Price unlike when it is home processed by individual farmers. They pointed out that coffee prices in Kenya are high simply because coffee is processed through CPUs. To encourage youth participation in coffee production. Stakeholders proposed to revise the current structure of the National Coffee Stakeholders meeting to accomodate more farmers, chairmen of district councils, district commissioners of coffee growing districts and input suppliers. Furthermore, it was proposed that coffee buyers at the auction should not be allowed to buy coffee in the villages. The stakeholders unnonymously agreed that district councils should not issue parmits to these companies and TCB should follow suit. 22

26 The quality of sisal bags that are manufactured by Tanzania Packags Manufacturers Limited (TPM) located in Morogoro was also discussed as the bags had been found sub-standards (poor quality). It as strongly pointed out that there had been many complaints by exporters of coffee on the poor quality of bags but no improvemnts or action had been taken so far by the manufacturer instead the price of the bags had gone up year after year. As a the result of poor quality bags, there have been spillages of coffee and many buyers are about to stop from buying coffee from Tanzania. Stakeholders proposed that if the manufacturer will not be able to improve the quality, the government should be asked to allow importation of bags from abroad. Table 2: Resolutions of the Fourth National Coffee Conference held at Nashera Hotel, Morogoro, May 30 31, Na Resolution Responsible 1 The Annual Coffee Conferences to be financed by Tanzania Coffee Development Trust Fund. 2 The National Coffee Stakeholders meeting will elect the chairperson of that meeting at the beginning of each meeting. The elected chair will be the chairperson until the next meeting. 3 The composition of the participants to the National Coffee Stakeholders meeting should be reviewed to include Chairs of District Councils, District Commissioners from coffee growing districts and Input suppliers. Also, to increase the number of farmer s representatives. 4 The government to increase seedlings subsidy to TaCRI and District Councils should fully participate in seedlings multiplication activities and to continue encouraging the participation of other stakeholders in seedlings multiplication activities. 5 The Tanzania Coffee Board should monitor statistic on coffee production to be similar to exports. 6 A reviewed Coffee Industry Regulations 2012 should be translated into Kiswahili language, presented to the extraordinary National Coffee Conference for discussion by coffee TCDTF and TCB Stakeholders MAFC and TCB MAFC, TaCRI and District councils TCB MAFC and TCB 23

27 stakeholders. Also, the Coffee industry ACT no 23 of 2001 and its amendments of 2009 also to be translated into Kiswahili language and be available for distribution to stakeholders. 7 To promote youth participation in coffee farming in order to increase production 8 Opportunity be given to District Coffee Subject Matter Specialists (DCSMSs) to participate in the coffee meetings at district, regional and zonal levels 9 The quality of sisal bags manufactured by TPM must be improved to the required standards. And that the governments should allow the importation of sisal bags from abroad in order to create competition in terms of price. 10 The need for reviewing the current price of coffee seedlings to at least 300/= 11 Tanzania Coffee Board should look for new emerging export markets other than the existing markets 12 Much effort is needed to promote domestic coffee consumption. 13 To come up with a strategy to promote women participation in coffee production across the zones. 14 The government should fulfill its promise of contributing funds to the TCDTF 15 The activities of coffee buyers at the farm gate market and auction should be monitored. Buyers at the auction should not be allowed to buy coffee at the farm gate market. A follow up system should put in place to monitor those who violating the regulation, including stern action being taken against them. 16 The need for an immediate follow up on the process of branding Tanzanian coffee TaCRI, District Councils, TCDTF and TAWOCA District Councils, Regions and Zones Ministry of Trade and Industry/MAFC TaCRI TCB TCB TAWOCA MAFC TCB TCB 24
