Historically Arabica production was almost exclusively grown in the North, in high altitude areas with good access to water. All coffee milling and sales was concentrated in the Moshi municipality in the Kilimanjaro district. Coffee production started in the South in the 1970s and 1980s and has been established in the Ruvuma, Mbeya and Mbozi regions.
