Abstract:
This is a historical study that utilises primary evidences from Tanzania National Archives
(TNA) to examine the compulsion marketing policies imposed by the Tanzania’s colonial
authority among small-scale native coffee producers in the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro.
The policies were provided under Section 36 of the 1932 co-operative legislation. Also, the
1934 Chagga Rule; and the 1937 Native Coffee (Control and Marketing) Ordinance, which
became a key and permanent coffee marketing policy in Tanzania that granted the Moshi
Native Coffee Board (MNCB) and KNCU monopoly over the native produced coffee.
