Abstract
Cotton, Tanzania's second largest
crop after coffee, was introduced at the turn of the century
by German settlers as a plantation crop but later efforts
focused on smallholder production. Output rose considerably
with the releases of new varieties, along with better
organization of the sector following establishment of the
Tanganyika Lint and Seed Marketing Board in 1956. By 1966,
production reached 80,000 tons, or 0.75 percent of world
production of 10.7 million tons.
