About Smallholder producers of Tanzania
High in the hills of near the Tanzania/Kenyan border, the average coffee farmer has approximately one acre of land/550 coffee trees. Most growers sell their cherry to Tarime Muriba CPU (Central Processing Unit) located 32 km from the town of Tarime. Muriba CPU serves ten farmer groups/15 different villages and has gone from zero production in 2013 to approximately two million kilos of cherry for the 2015 season, with production increases expected as the farmers receive training in agricultural practices that will increase yields.
Muriba CPU is under a ten year lease to Dormans Ltd, a Kenyan company that promotes sustainable practices at Muriba, and pays producers some of the highest prices going for their coffee, working to establish a trust-based, transparent relationship with the farmers while supporting industry growth in Tanzania and improving the quality of coffee coming out of the country.
