Chagga Economy in general

The Chagga subsist primarily by agriculture, using irrigation on terraced fields and oxen manure. Although bananas are our staple food, we also cultivate various crops including yams, beans, and maize. In agricultural exports, we (Chagga) are best known for our Arabica coffee, which is exported to American and European markets, resulting in coffee being a primary cash crop.

Now the question is - What should we do now to better our economy?

Chagga are Bantu-speaking indigenous Africans and are the third largest ethnic group in Tanzania. They live on the southern and eastern slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru, as well as in the Moshi area.

Their relative wealth comes from not only the favorable climate of the area, but also from successful agricultural methods which include extensive irrigation systems and continuous fertilization practiced for thousands of years.

They were one of the first tribes in the area to convert to Christianity. This may have given them an economic advantage over other ethnic groups, as they had better access to education and health care as Christians.
