Study Abroad Programs in Moshi, Tanzania

We can arrange a stay with a coffee farmer on a family-run plantation on the lower altitude slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro. This is an excellent opportunity for everyone to learn everything about the cultivation of coffee and the Tanzanian coffee trade while staying in the middle of a natural landscape of scenic beauty, surrounded by dense tropical rainforests and small villages. Coffee Farmer Dennis, who speaks good English, tells you everything about the cultivation and processing of coffee. On the plantation, coffee plants are grown, then the ripe beans are harvested, dried, separated from undesirable ingredients, and bagged. You can participate in all steps. You can also witness the coffee auction, where international buyers bid for the beans. We can also arrange an internship for students of agriculture, food science, and related fields at the Tanzania Coffee Research Institute, where research related to crop improvement, crop productivity, quality improvement, plant breeding, soil analysis, and plant protection is carried out. For Tanzania, coffee is the most important cash crop. Very high-quality coffee beans are being cultivated in the Kilimanjaro region, called "Chagga AA".
