Abstract

Following nationalization, tea production at the Kwamkoro and Bulwa estates in Tanzania fell by almost 80%. The article describes the reasons for this decline and why it was decided to enlist the assistance of an outside investor, the Commonwealth Development Corporation, to manage the process of rehabilitation. Recovery was assisted by the implementation of Tanzania's Structural Adjustment Programme, but even when the physical problems of production had been resolved difficulties persisted in dealing with bureaucracy and labor practices. Lessons are drawn for dealing with similar projects in other difficult environments.
